How We Put This Package Together
Heading
Training is training; there is no such thing as a ‘weather-dependent’ ride in our book.
The Frame
LOOK 765 is possibly the best foundation for a winter bike we could imagine. Designed for real endurance riding, its slack angles and long wheel base give it confident handling on a lightweight frame. It retains a nimble feel even when decked out with lights and mudguards.
Steady doesn’t mean boring.
With enough compliance for all-day comfort and enough zip for when you need it. The LOOK 765 shows its performance pedigree when the road kicks up, or the group ride explodes into a sprint for the café.

This bundle will ensure that you are safe, warm, clean and dry on every ride you take this winter.
Lights & Mount
Early mornings and late finishes are par for the course when winter training. Never get caught out in fast descending gloom when you have a slick and versatile light-set on your bike.
This pair of front and rear lights from Moon Sport will ensure you can see and be seen whenever you ride, and with extra-long run times, even your biggest rides are covered. This smart design using a UTF multi-mount bracket makes the best use of the limited real estate on your handlebars by combining the light and bike computer mount into one, maintaining a slick and clean front end even while training in the darkest winter months.
Moon Sport Rigel Pro – RRP £59.99
Moon Sport Helix Pro – RRP £36.99
TOPEAK UTF Multi-Mount Pro – RRP £47.99
Tyres & Stem
Your choice for winter riding is critical for confidence, safety, and not wasting precious time getting cold by the side of the road fixing punctures.
These Cinturato Velo Tyres from Pirelli offer a whole host of technology designed to help you keep your grip in wet and dry conditions and avoid punctures whilst not compromising rolling resistance.
Cinturato Velo Tyres RRP £64.99
LOOK LS3 Stem RRP £89.00
Mudguards
Protect your feet, legs and backside from muddy splashes with these mudguards from SKS. Not only do they help keep you warm and dry, but they protect the poor guy clinging to your rear wheel from receiving a face full of spray. Slick and streamlined, so you don’t need to compromise on your winter rides.
SKS Bluemels Matt 35 RRP £49.99
Chamois Cream
Long miles in the saddle and a bit of gritty road spray can play havoc with your backside. Prevent chafing and keep your skin healthy with a liberal application of chamois cream. Chamois Butt’r is a non-greasy skin lubricant that lubricates, soothes, and softens.
Apply Chamois Butt'r directly to your skin or chamois pad for immediate relief from soreness and many more comfortable miles in the saddle.
Chamois Butt’r Original – RRP £17.99
Winter Riding Hat
Finding the right riding cap for winter can be an absolute game-changer. The comfort of warmth and rain protection for your head, a good adjustable peak to keep the spray out of your eyes, and a long line at the back of your neck for when you are down in the drops can transform how you feel on a cold, wet ride.
All this, and it needs to feel good under your helmet. Spatzwear has given this hat a lot of thought, and it shows – as they say, “it’s raining, you’re training” – so get ready to get out there.
Spatzwear 'Burnr' Hat – RRP £39.99
Socks
If you have invested in winter shoes or overshoes, don’t forget your winter-weight socks; these stunners from Bridgedale are designed specifically for cycling.
They are insulated for warmth without adding bulk and are cushioned underneath to help protect against pressure hot spots and soreness.
Bridgedale Winter Weight Weight Merino – RRP £25.99
