Tell us what you think of our new kit! 🔥
Hot
Hot!
@@troycollett8540 🔥
Thanks @@petet8594 🙌
Absolutely ridiculous pricing on the new GCN kit but they look great. Cycling only for the wealthy these days or the deep in debt.
Fabien here from the Hack/Bodge of the week section. Agreed with Dan, my bar tape doesn't look great, that's because I didn't think about taking a photo of the broken shifter before I re-attached it!! I took the photo at the end of the day so the tight string had time to "imprint" itself in the cork style bar tape... It is the case on both photos of the broken shifter! Also the bar tape did get damaged in the fall which is why it looks terrible.. Finally, the piece of string is so long because that's my clothes hanging line and I wasn't willing to cut it :)
Thanks for the Hack result! :)
so you ride with your clothesline ?
@@dougmcdougall3997 Haha, not normally, but on a 10days touring trip sleeping under the tent every night, yes I do! It's useful to wash clothes now and again ;)
That was my theory before I read your response :-)
After all the talk about cycling getting too expensive you bring out a kit at over £300. Nice one.
Buying GCN kit is a great deal for them. You give them money to wear their kit and advertise there channel, owners business along with there kit sponsor.
Could buy a decent second hand bike once you factor buying the full kit 😮
Hi Glyn, yes this new kit has a high price tag because it’s the top level aero kit, but if you look at the GCN shop you’ll see that we have more affordable options too.
Lol of course it's a business
Looks good and the ‘performance enhancing panel’ I full agree this is a step forwards.
I have considered getting a GCN kit a few times before. Everytime I visit the site the final shipping cost added to the already expensive kit changes my mind. Sorry guys, I like to support but it is just over my budget!
At those prices, I will never know if they are hot or not!
We've got kit for every budget in the GCN shop 👉 GCN.eu/corekit
That's such a shameless ad plug lmaoo☠️☠️
@@gcn The lowest priced seems to be twice the price of some suppliers, but the BIG GCN logos are only on the expensive kit.
Great looking kit! The opposite can be said about the price for the kit.
We're glad you like the kit! Regarding price, this is a triple grand tour, world champs winning kit and designed for those seeking the ultimate in performance. We also have our Core kit range available too. Happy riding 👍
@@JonCannings obvious question then, how come the Team Visma Lease bike new kit is selling for half the price ? are they not using same triple grand tour world champs type kit ?
@@awavey from what I have read, those team replica jerseys, are exactly that. Replica's. They are standard fit, not pro fit meaning that different levels of technology and production methods go into them 👍
Is anyone trying to win a big enough race to wear WT quality kit going to be doing it in GCN stuff? 🤔
@@rob-c. The same could be said for a cyclist who uses the same tyres or chain that a WT rider has. If it makes someone happy, I am all for it!
Wow, that kit looks great. Love the red. But sorry to say guys, the price is far too expensive. We're not pros. You said it your self on a gcn video. Saying has cycling got too expensive. 🤔
Thanks Mark, we love the red too 😍 We appreciate that this kit comes with a higher price tag but we've always tried to provide for every budget. Our core range is a great example of a kit for every rider 👉 gcn.eu/corekit - We love celebrating cycling of all levels and we'll continue to do this with the support of AGU 🙌
A kit that advertises your company to its target audience should be cheaper as a result... not more expensive.
There is a ZERO chance that Si and Manon got through that "performance enhancing crotch layering" scene in one take. Already looking forward to this years bloopers!!
We don't know what you're saying... They are true professionals 👀
Where I really appreciate there is a cheaper option with the core range but in a world where cycling is going to the wall including our beloved GCN+ I think someone has really missed the feeling in the room about the pricing.
Ditching the massive tryhard CZcams logos from early kits was a huge win, but I mourn the loss of GCN+ branding on the new one. RIP the best cycling streaming service
Absolutely ridiculous pricing on the new GCN kit but they look great. Cycling only for the wealthy these days or the deep in debt.
$248 for the shorts is absolutely insane
@@AJohns3226 I paid 190 for "normal" AGU shorts, have a pair. Quality is superb, the extra 60 bucks is a bit silly for only GCN branding though..
WB needs your money.
Cycling is for the poor, the wealthy and also those who like to throw their money away
Hi, fear not, we still sell the Core kit 👍
Price aside, well done for having a kit that has some visibility.
Yes better visibility than the total black outfit
At over $600au, it’s one of the most expensive kits available. After a comment the other day saying Rapha has helped inflate kit prices, it’s interesting I can get a Rapha kit cheaper. Disappointing and looks like it will be even longer until I can afford a gcm kit.
Slightly unfortunate that Arkea’s block red scored last in the men’s hot or not pro-team 2024 colours! Don’t think it’s awful but not particularly inspiring.
That said I really like the colour of Manon’s road frame- think you may have missed a trick there!
Finally... a GCN kit you can see ... at least it's not head-to-toe black like the last one which was impossible to see on the road (so much for promoting cycling safety, hey GCN?) ... this one looks the business.
We super happy with how this kit looks! Great to hear you think so too 🙌
GCN: "bikes are overpriced, let's drop kit to match!" $600 CAD for the GCN kit, ooof
But its super aero bro😂
Nice one.😂👍
#captioncompetition
New helmet ear covers have been proven to increase the number of "What"s
GCN should do a show on ALL the merch. Knowing that only a few people can afford the top end pro stuff. Plus it has their logo on it. I should get paid to wear it.
#captioncompetition
Ganna: Hey Viv', who's your favorite GCN presenter?
Viviani: Focus now and form a leadout, ragazzo! Dan, btw.
Ganna: What?
Viviani: L-E-A-D-O-U-T!
Ganna: Will do, chill. No, I meant GCN presenter.
Viviani: Lloyd!
Ganna: Ah, cool! Manon is my favourite too.
I was honoured to be overtaken by Ollie wearing his red GCN kit last weekend not realising he was previewing it before the announcement on today's show. First impressions - I'm liking the old strip more at the moment.
Hahaha getting overtaken by Ollie has become a badge of honour 😂
and drivers can see you more especially on grey days
I’m just pleased you’ve a nod to safety with a kit that will finally be visible on a dreary British winter day.
Thanks! Great to hear you like the kit, it looks even better out on the roads 🙌
true, the black kit is hard to see, too many cyclists getting hit by cars. Bright colours are the way to reduce that.
Is it just me that feels it a little strange that if you complete the Rouvy challenge (which requires the use of a smart trainer) you win a smart trainer. I'd like to win a smart trainer, but not having one means I can't win one!
I'll buy it off you if u win for a deal
There's a couple of Strava challenges I've seen that are the same. Still entering every one that I can to win a smart trainer, given that most of them are 2-3 times the price I paid for my bike though!
It’s pretty, but priced for dentists. $800 USD for a full kit, think I’m ok for now.
I am sorry to say that I liked the previous GCN kit more. I also like broccoli so I may be a weird one. I hope they also release some long sleeved version for the summer for the UV conscious people.
We loved the old kit too! But we're super excited for this next chapter with AGU 🥰 Even if this version isn't for you keep your eyes on this space more excitement to come 👐
#captioncompetition Viv: i don’t hear anyone cheering for us. Are you sure we are at the right place?
Ganna: it’s the right place but we are just too EARly.
I like the vest Si is wearing during the kit segment ❤
Props to your video team and editors for the amazing shots using the new GCN kit. Really eye catching cinematography that brings out the brands red color!
When we are working with kit this good it's hard to make it look bad 😉
It looks alright prefer the castelli stuff though.
out of interest, what don't you like about it?
@@JonCanningsI don't dislike it it's quite plain which some people may well prefer.
@@zedddddful no worries. We're always keen for feedback 👍
There's a recent GCN CZcams edition which is hoping for the price of bikes to lower. It refers to silly prices for top end bikes and that this has an impact on lower priced machines. £339.98 plus additional fees for a pair of shorts and a jersey is not exactly 'the clothing 'groupset of the people'.
And here I thought the Spirit of Gravel was whiskey... huh.
RE New Kit: YAY TO WET WEATHER VISABILITY! Dark kit in low light I will always find demented.
Si twice in one week! This is great!
#captioncompetition the team is considering a name upgrade to Ineos Grenad-ears.
Also Dan Lloyd is my favourite presenter 😊
@@michaeldeluca4699 are you trying to influence the vote?! 😉
I love the look but not a price point I would consider.
Not that it matters to me since I am not part of the target group but I thought a skin suit (one piece) was the starting point for top quality aero.
Again, love the channel and the look of the kit.
Manon looks good in anything! So it looks great! It's a little on the high side. Most things are anymore.
Red with black... How inspiring...
It shouts: We conform to safe choices! We stand for nothing!
Great bicycle marriage in history - Lon Haldeman and Susan Notorangelo!!!
Caption competition, Dutch to tie in with the new kit: After a few laps, Van Gogh found the new Kask helmet to be a perfect fit
#captioncompetition
Vivianni - "did you hear dan lloyd came out of retirement to race Sebb Kuss and Jonas Vinnegard"
Ganna - "i cant hear you, it sounded like you said Dan Lloyd was riding a bike again, that cant be true, it must be the helmet"
At 57, I will take any "performance" advantage I can get. 😂😂
The kit is nice but I prefer the previous iteration. My question is, can I buy up the old kit??
If I was designing a completely red kit, I wouldn’t put the only bit of black on the gilet straight through the middle of my logo
Well I always wanted a pair of GCN kit. I always thought it was and is way over PRICED. GCN makes videos on value for money all the time you should revisit those videos. And apply them as a business model.
Hi, thanks for the comment. This new Pro Kit is the top-of-the-range offering and whilst it may not be within everyone's budget this is why we also have the Core kit available in the shop at a different price/performance point 👍
Like Jon sad, we offer kit at every level. The Core kit is a great option for the everyday rider 👉gcn.eu/corekit
@@gcn Let's say hyptherically if GCN have a flash sale of these new kit the Pro version let's say for 180-225 you will get more total sale be more than at that 450 price... that is why aliexpress getting more popular in the west these ridiculous prices. just saying🤔🤔😚
Who the hell is AGU? hahaha jk....nah but seriously...never heard of them...Castelli had a nicer lycra pattern.
Went for a 50KM ride in and around Victoria BC Canada in sub 0 temperature yesterday. Its easy to keep ones body, even hands warm but feet are a whole different story. It took 40 minutes in front of a blower heater and a hot shower to get the feelings back in my toes So go ahead and make fun of Canadians and our winter woes 😂😂
Si's cankles-HACK/BODGE?
Just love the banter and going off topic. It’s like I’m listening in on your coffee stop,somewhere 😊
Trust us, the coffee stops are even more off topic 😂
Caption Competition - And they come in sizes small and extra large
Please Manon, either do up or take off that gilet ! Doing my OCD in.
The Kit is amazing!!
Designer took the day off?
How much do the new kit cost? Do you have to Rabobank to afford one? 😂
By the way. Looking good 😊
My god, Dan back on the bike again! Watch those ankles 😅
#captioncontest "Ganna: who they gonna call dumbo now, hey elEAR?
Vivianni: shutup GanEAR!"

Hooray for Tuesday it’s the GCN Show 🎉
Not just any GCN show either 👀 What do you make of that kit?
@@gcn looking good
Caption competition- From little things big things grow
Caption:
Ganna: Elia, the wind is coming from the right. Can you block it for me?
Viviani: I am!
Plain red with 'GCN' printed in white. Bold choice in graphics.
Those prices are sooo high. Unfortunately, the sponsor is taking too much I think.
As an American, thanks for explaining how to pronounce AGU correctly! It took me approximately 5 years to learn how to say "Schwalbe" 😂
Practice makes perfect
Hahaha we've been saying it into the mirror for a while now 😂

Viviani: Hey Dad! Are we ganna go for a gelato after this?!
#captioncompetition "I can honestly say this is the fastest of all the helmets I’ve worn over the ‘ears."
🤧 *BLESS YOU!* 🎽
#CaptionCompetition: Filippo, you're half-wheeling me; that's not how you do a leadout.
#CaptionCompetition - "I'll tell you what I think of the new helmet . . . You can stick it Ineos!"
I have a few AGU kits and they are my favorite.
This has quickly become one of our favourites too 👌
@17:55 the pics without the string are a before and after. A picture of the broken shifter was taken from the front before the string hack, then the string was taken off and a second pic from above was taken and you’re seeing the bar tape “bodged” by the string.
Dan and Si need an unstructured weekly podcast where they can just chat all the nonsense they want 😂
I like the colour but prefer a Matt finish, they look a bit shiny on camera to me. Also a wee bit expensive ...
GCN, thanks for the reply to my previous message about pricing...it may have been an idea to give the budget core kit a mention in the vid then. It was a definite push to the store...you can tell by the number of comments about the prices that they raised some eyebrows. I know you are obliged to promote the top end of the cycling world, but it would be worth remembering that only a small percentage of your audience are prepared to spend money on the top end brands...whether they have the money or not: people are evidently becoming more aware of ridiculous pricing in cycling, hence the number of companies struggling. It also will pay very well to listen to your audience :-)
Agreed. I highly doubt there are many pro riders watching. The channel content is definitely aimed more at the average amateur cyclist.
Here's one for you GCN. The English term bodge, is often considered coming from the practice of using mortar under roof tiles before membranes to help secure them and stop driving rain and snow. If you have a 100 year old original roof you probably have a good bit of bodging. Also what I've been doing to mine the past few weeks.
Fixing your roof as good 'as new' and saving 10k, how about that for a hack vs 'bodge'. :p
that reminds me, I need to repoint my ridge tiles
Now that’s a fun fact! Thanks for the origin.
@@JonCannings ah see that's the scary stuff when its high. I'm going to be removing cement render and re pointing both walls of a terrace this year. #HightIssues haha
@@MrAlexshellard yeah, I am debating if I go for a cherry picker, or scaffolding!
#CaptionCompetition
Vivianni: I loved the caption that Dan and Si gave this photo.
Ganna: Who?
Vivianni: Simon Richardson
Ganna: WHO do you say?
So, how "aero" a pair of shorts, t-shirt and socks does £300 get you? Asking for a mug. A GCN mug - of course.
Is Si channeling Wout van Aert with his new hairstyle? Si wears the different colored strip well!
Caption competition " Spock was very keen to try out the new Kask helmet! "
#CaptionCompetition: Viviani and Ganna tuck their ears 'down under' their helmets, launch new team name: Ineos Grenad-earless
Looks great can’t wait to get a new kit 🇨🇦

Race Finished....
Everyone gone...
Viviani and Ganna still riding in the circuit....
These new helmets really work.
#captioncompetition :
“Elfviani banking on some magical ear-o gains”
on the subject of the snapped shifter, I think the pictures were taken after the fact to demonstrate the broken shifter, hence the imprinted textures on the bar tape
Nice that the colour means they can be seen!
#CaptionCompetition That's Spock having a blast! He doesn't want to be seen having fun but it is only logical.

Idea for Next weeks #captioncompetition, GCN and Arkea, who wore it best
If this is version six of GCN kit, how about a trip down memory lane and show us all the versions through the years?
No more Castelli’s Unfair Advantage 😢
Si, the error you made was in conflating weight loss and health.
As far as losing weight, counting calories - though inexact - is the best method available for losing weight, because it’s proven in multiple studies that the primary thing that matters in weight loss is an overall calorie deficit. When it comes to weight loss, all calories are the same. A calorie is a calorie. Furthermore, counting calories carefully can serve as a great way to educate a person on proper portion size and create new eating habits.
When it comes to health, not all calories are the same. 1000 calories of, say, butter is not at all as healthy or nutritious as 1000 calories of veggies. Nutrient density is key when it comes to health.
Healthy weight loss, which is where these two spheres intersect, still requires a calorie deficit. Therefore, counting calories ingested versus calories burned is still useful. Ingesting nutrient dense foods that provide proper fuel for the activities undertaken simply makes it easier to maintain healthy eating habits and allows you to feel fuller for longer. In addition it modulates blood sugar and the body’s insulin response, preventing blood sugar spikes and subsequent crashes.
In short. If one wants to lose weight in a healthy way, they have to eat nutrient dense foods, track how many calories they are eating, estimate how many calories they are burning, and realize they are learning and creating new lifelong habits and lifestyle, not doing something temporarily.
GCN B&B Hotels!
Caption contest: Viviani really looks up to Ganna.
I like the red
We agree!
I have to admit it. Castelli is a tough act to follow.
#captioncompetition : 'Where's your pinna, Ganna?'
I have followed you blokes for what seems like decades. Well, you have been around for over ten years, and still watch your older videos. My gripe is the expense of cycling kits, particularly yours, what the heck are you thinking? Who sets the price? I'd like a crack at them bean counters, jk. If these are Made in China, forget about it.
This is our top of the range, pro kit line. There's a range of kits at various price points - do check out the shop: gcn.eu/shop
Looks really good, I would love to wear one as I am a massive fan but it's too expensive for me 😔
Hi James, thanks for the kind words! It's pretty great kit... even if we do say so ourselves 👌 We have kit for all budgets on the GCN shop, you can still rep the GCN brand 👉 GCN.eu/shop 🙌
@@gcn See the common complaint? ;-) 95% of your audience dooens't need pro kit.
Hey Dan. I can thoroughly recommend using a rear view mirror . I've been using one for years. Put one on your bike and you'll never look back. 😂
#caption competition:- The race is on to be the first to order the new GCN kit
