Scott Plasma 30 (2010)

 This Plasma is the longest in the tooth of the three Plasma framesets. It's still got plenty of life and relevance. Even so, it would benefit from a couple of design and spec upgrades.

Trek Equinox TTX 9.0 (2010)

 Is this bike the last of an era? The bike aboard which Levi, Lance and Alberto won so many grand tour TTs prepares, perhaps, to slide off into history. The Equinox TTX 9.0 is part of that lineage.

Transition Comp for 2010

 After 20 years of ambivalence toward tri bikes and the tri market, Specialized has finally made a world class timed race bike. The Transition is, with some exceptions, a bike worthy of its headbadge.

Felt B14 (2010)

 Cervelo's juggernaut P2 moved out of the $2500 neighborhood, selling this year for $280. Felt's B14 nicely slotted into the P2's hand-me-down $2500 category; it's a great value for the money.

Felt B12 (2010)

 The Felt B12 is a worthy competitor to C'dale's Slice 4 and Cervelo's category killing P2, as well as the entry level Equinox TTX and Specialized Transition. But the closest rivel to the B12 isn't Cervelo, it's Felt's own B14.

Cervelo P2 (2010)

 Over the past decade Cervelo simplified cable routing, added a chain stay adjustment screw, then came the move to carbon. Since then it's been pretty clear sailing.

Mizuno Wave Precision 10 (2010)

 Light and stable at a weight of 9.7 oz., the big feature is this shoe's rubber Wave plate. This Mizuno is a lightweight trainer, good for neutral runners, maybe slight pronaters.

K-Swiss Konesic (2010)

 The Konesic is a pure stability trainers like those built ten and fifteen years ago. K-Swiss might have found a niche market for the heavier runners who loved the motion control shoes no longer widely available.

Zoot Ultra Speed (2010)

 Is this still a shoe? Or is it a running sock with a midsole glued on it? Whatever it is, smart money says it’s fast. And fast it is, but it’s just there for the most efficient lightweight runners.

Scott Plasma 10 for 2010

 This bike is a case study in: Not only power, not only handling, not only comfort, but superior aerodynamics is largely tied to choosing a bike that properly fits you.

Adizero Boston 2010

 This more "substantial" cousin to the Adios differs from the Adios in the thickness of the midsole. It's the thickest among the lightweight trainers from Adidas. Its weight is 9.7 oz.

Adizero Mana 2010

 The Mana is the shoe for those who might want to run in the Adizero, but, need a bit of medial posting. Just keep in mind that posting comes at a price: a slightly harder feel.
