by Clifford Lee Thirteen months ago we brought you the first-ever images of the new Clement MXP cyclocross tire tread, and at Interbike 2012, Clement showed off the long-awaited tire for all to touch, smell, and for a few strange tire connoisseurs, taste. We didn’t go that far, but we did capture some tasty pictures [...]
New Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld signee Ryan Trebon received his custom-made cantilever brake-equipped Cannondale SuperX carbon cyclocross bikes a month ago, but had his first chance to race them to glory just this Tuesday at the Raleigh Midsummer Night Cyclocross race in Deer Valley, Utah. He seized that opportunity to land his first cyclocross victory aboard [...]
This year, at Raleigh’s Midsummer Night’s Cyclocross, Allen Krughoff took home the biggest prize of the night: the Raleigh-Clement contract. “It was definitely part of the plan,” Krughoff said of the contract win. His fifth place finish was enough to render him the first un-contracted racer, which meant that starting this fall, he’ll be teammates [...]
After the dust of Midsummer Night Cyclocross settled, both literally and figuratively, two winners emerged with freshly-inked contracts for the 2012 season in hand: Nicole Duke, who took the win in the women’s race last night, and Allen Krughoff, who took fifth place in the men’s race. Krughoff was the first man without a contract, [...]
Raleigh Bicycles and Clement unveiled their new cyclocross team at the Raleigh dealer gathering today, with Belgium’s Ben Berden, France’s Caroline Mani, and Washington’s Craig Etheridge up on stage to educate and excite Raleigh dealers about the company’s support of top-level cyclocross racers.
Here at Eurobike, among the fancy carbon mountain bikes, quirky commuter rigs, sexy road bikes, latest cycling fashions and the most diverse group of bike-nerds in the world, is the newest collection of cyclocross rigs and components. Just about every bicycle manufacturer, large an small, has some sort of cyclocross offering here at the 2011 Eurobike bicycle trade show in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Clement’s Donn Kellogg has spent a good part of his life around tires, and after relaunching the Clement brand and bringing cyclocrossers the PDX and LAS cyclocross clinchers in 2010, he’s been focused on expanding his tire line-up with both additional treads and tubular tires.
The result of his efforts? A tubeless, seamless cyclocross tubular that eschews the hand-made construction of cyclocross tubular tires like Dugast, FMB, Challenge and Vittoria, and instead adopts Tufo-like technology but promises a more supple casing.
Clement made its return to tires and cyclocross in 2010 with the new PDX and LAS cyclocross clinchers. PDX, of course, is the airport code for Portland, and LAS the code for Las Vegas. As one might guess, the LAS is designed for gamblers, and the PDX is designed for bike commuters.
We often say that the only true cyclocross-specific component, besides a frame and fork, is the cyclocross tire. And thus it’s often the first thing we, as tire geeks, seek out at Interbike. Just a few days ago, we highlighted new cyclocross tires from Schwalbe, Hutchinson and Challenge. But with some dedicated digging we found [...]
Two supporters of women’s cycling have teamed up to place their chips on the table and raise the stakes for the Elite Women’s podium at CrossVegas. As a result of a partnership between NoTubes and Clément the top three women will now be competing for a purse that exceeds the men’s prizelist. Responding to the [...]
