It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas at road.cc HQ, with power meters, smart lights, winter kit, pro-level wheels, and accessories all piling up under our tree. There’s plenty to put through its paces over the coming weeks, so here’s a sneak peek, with full reviews coming soon.
Garmin Rally RS210 Dual-sensing Power Meter pedals (£929.99)
Garmin recently updated its Rally power meter pedals with a new rechargeable spindle offering a claimed 90 hour battery life, along with a redesigned pedal body meaning you can swap the power sensor between road and off-road setups.
At £929.99 they cost noticeably more than rivals like Favero’s £649 Assioma PRO RS-2 dual-sided power meter pedals, but can they deliver? Jack’s full review is coming soon.
Exposure Strada Mk12 RS AKTiv (£325)

Now, for £30 more, Steve Williams is reviewing the Strada Mk12 RS AKTiv, which adds technology that automatically dips the beams in response to oncoming light sources to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. It also works the same way with the rear lights of cars that overtake you.
It’s a pricey investment, so check back soon to see if Steve thinks it’s worth it.
