TORQ is a Fitness Consultancy. It always has been and always will be. Our roots are firmly entrenched in both Fitness Consultancy and Mountain Biking and this we believe provides us with our unique edge and integrity. We have developed our range of performance nutrition products through a need to offer the highest standard of support to the athletes we work with. We critically analyse every product on the market and take on board their best features – and then improve upon them – every little detail - without compromise. We ask our clients which types of products they prefer to use and continually develop and perfect our range.
Strada Hand Built Wheels is here to remind cyclists of the benefits of hand built wheels to to those who may not have considered them before. After the frame, the wheel of your bike is the most critical component in how it rides and handles so we consider your weight, height, physique, power, type of bike before selecting a rim, hub and spokes to build a wheelset to match you perfectly. We stock many quality components and can ship road or MTB wheels throughout Europe and Scandinavia.

The new bikeParka is a well-designed, durable bicycle cover that keeps bikes snug, dry and clean. The bikeParka was designed in collaboration with a New Zealand company specialising in tents and adventure equipment for 25 years. The bikeParka is manufactured from Ripstop and has taped seams - it’s tough and watertight.
The bikeParka is thought to help on the security front and discourage ‘cherry picking’ of top-brand cycles by obscuring what is underneath. It can be secured at the bottom and, unlike rival bike covers, it features Velcro lock-through panels on each side so that a lock can be pushed through to secure the cover to the bike. To ensure that the bikeParka fits snugly on most bikes, it is toggle-adjustable. The cover can be tweaked to suit any seat and handle bar height; it also has bottom eyelets, as well as an elasticated bottom for a close fit around the wheels. The bikeParka comes in a handy ‘Stuff Sac’ that fits easily into the cyclist’s day pack , or attaches to you bike.
