Bontrager has really stepped up their game in the tire business, both for mountain bikes and road bikes. We recently tested and reviewed their new XR-4 and 29-4 tires, read what Mtbr thought about them here>> One of the things that Bontrager is empasizing in their tire line-up, is that they offer tires for varying types of riding and terrain and that the rider needs to use that as a guideline for which compound tire they will want to choose.

Bontrager has also made some updates to it's top of the line RXL mountain bike shoe. Available in black or white, the RXL retails for $274.99 From the manufacturer:
"Bontrager's RXL MTB is the ultimate XC race shoe, featuring a lightweight, ergonomically optimized design, customizable fit, and ultra-efficient Silver Series Carbon sole. Packed with fit-tune details like a heat-moldable inForm custom footbed, a multi-position medial adjuster to dial-in top pad placement, a Micro-Fit buckle for quick and precise tension adjustment on the fly, and a rider-adjustable Heel Trap to lock and stabilize the heel, the RXL MTB shoe makes it easy to achieve a personalized, custom fit that will keep you comfortably ahead of the competition."



Other highlights include the Lithos helmet, G4 DH tire and Affinity RXL Carbon Road Saddle and that latest Clincher and Tubular Bontrager road tires.
