The technology that helped Nicole Cooke to win her Olympic Gold Medal is featured in the new Boardman collection, exclusively available from Bikehut at Halfords.

Providing a complete high performance solution to help any cyclist achieve their desired performance, Chris Boardman MBE’s latest range comprises six road, seven mountain, including three brand new full suspension models, and four performance hybrid bikes.

Highlights of the new range include the PRO Race Prepared. For just £2999.99, it has the same specification as Nicole Cooke’s Olympic bike and enjoys features such as; unidirectional carbon fibre monocoque frame, ultralight carbon fibre monocoque fork, SRAM Red group set, Zipp carbon fibre wheelset and a full Ritchey WCS finishing kit including carbon fibre seat post.

Other highlights in the road range include the ROAD PRO, priced £1499.99, which shares the same frame and forks as Nicole Cooke’s Olympic and World Championship winning bike and comes with a SRAM force gear set, carbon fibre chain set and Ritchey WCS/PRO finishing kit and weighs only 16.2lbs.

Pro in name and in nature, the new MTB PRO Hard Tail bike, priced £999.99, is super fast. Thanks to its ultra light frame, Rock Shox Reba Team fork, SRAM X0/X9 gearing, Avid Elixir R Carbon hydraulic disc brakes and Ritchey Pro finishing kit and rims, all elements combine to make sure this bike delivers exceptional off road performance.

The MTB PRO FS mixes lightweight and handling with leading components; a superlight, custom made 4 bar linkage full suspension triple butted frame, Rock Shox Monarch 3.3 rear shock, Rock Shox Reba Race fork, Sram X0/X9 27 speed gearing, Truvativ Stylo Team chainset & GXP bottom bracket, Avid Elixir R Carbon hydraulic disc brakes, Ritchey WCS rims and Pro finishing kit - all equals a superior ride experience.

Again, with performance in mind, the Performance Hybrid PRO LTD, priced £999.99, doesn’t miss a beat. With carbon fork, SRAM Double tap 20 speed gearing and Avid Elixir Carbon disc brakes giving you the best of both worlds, your ride will be faster and smoother than ever.

Chris Boardman said: “Through constant research, development and product testing, we’re able to develop and build upon the key elements of last year’s range.

“I believe that for 2009 we’ve produced a range that will perform at the highest level across all disciplines and at all levels and offers excellent value. Don’t just take my word for it, I’m happy to let you be the judge.”

Nicole Cooke said: “Since beginning racing at the age of eleven, I have had the opportunity to travel to many different countries and experienced many terrains.

“Achieving Gold in Bejiing was my proudest moment, and a culmination of 15 years training, determination and the best in cycle technology. My dream Boardman machine’s cutting edge frame and fork technology ensured I maintained my competitive edge. With the introduction of the new range and technology every cyclist can now experience the exhilaration of riding an Olympic Gold Winning bike.”
