Test ride: the all-new Specialized Venge Pro Disc UDi2

When Specialized revealed the Venge #3 last month it only released details about the top-of-the-line S-Works version. It was a dream bike along with what was for most cyclists a fantasy price tag of S$16,600. But just a few weeks later the Big S unveiled the Venge Pro Disc and made a lot of dreams a step closer to reality. It’s still not exactly a cheap bike at a recommended retail price of S$10,800, but the substantial cost savings over the S-Works Venge for what is still an amazingly attractive package will bring it into the price range of a few more riders.

Something completely different hit the local cycling scene last Sunday in the form of the X Rally 2018, a multi-terrain adventure which took its participants on a 90km trip around eastern, central and southern Singapore.

What made yesterday’s inaugural X Rally unique was that it was an event that catered to both road and off-road cyclists. It was predominantly ridden on tarmac, but participants were also tasked with negotiating sections of beach, gravel, single-track trail, railway sleepers and leg-punishing steps.

The local road racing scene broke new ground yesterday with a morning of “speedway” action at the Singapore Turf Club, but it was familiar names in the winner’s circle as Riyadh Hakim (Team Awano Treknology) continued his run of recent success by triumphing in the Men’s Open contest and Chelsie Tan (BikeLabz Racing) followed up her success at last week’s URA-CFS Crit with victory in the Women’s Open race.

The latest occasion for local roadies to scratch their competitive itch was the Get Active Singapore Cycling Challenge and the response from those in attendance at the Turf Club in Kranji was overwhelmingly positive. Click here to read the full race report.

Malaysia boleh! Cyfora delivers superb race in Putrajaya

There’s no doubt the Singapore road racing scene is much healthier than it was just a few short years ago, but it still lacks proper road races. A steady diet of crits, time trails and novelty contests is great, but staging 100km+ races on Singapore’s roads is still but a dream. Even the three big “local” events (Tour de Bintan, Tour de Kepri, SG National Champs) are staged on the Indonesian islands of Bintan and Batam.

There is, though, a plethora of road races over the border in Malaysia, including last Sunday's Cyfora Cyberjaya which attracted some 20 teams and nearly 200 riders for what was a first-rate example of how to stage an amateur cycling race. Click here to read the full race report.
