For the deep, sloppy muck, Dugast’s Rhino cotton tubulars are the tires for you.

Specialized’s Terra tubulars look mean and aggressive with big, chunky knobs spaced far apart across the tire’s tread.

Specialized’s versatile Tracer tubulars work for a wide range of conditions. They roll quickly on smooth ground but tackle corners with plenty of grip.

The Grifo side knobs don’t offer much bite, so you’ll need greater skill when you hit loose corners or have to scamper down off-camber descents.

Challenge’s Chicane tubulars offer are a more versatile take on file tread ‘cross tires thanks to meaty side knobs.

The Syncline jacket, made by Showers Pass, if a fine option for fall's wet weather with a relaxed fit and cycling-specific features.

The Clement LAS tubulars float over hard-pack or asphalt thanks to the smooth file tread down the center of the tire.

Dugast's Pipisquallo tires are made for very specific course conditions like Koksijde, Belgium’s sand dunes or Cross Vegas’s grassy circuit.

Hutchinson calls its Toro tubular a mud tire but the low, fast rolling tread makes it a better all-around option for mixed conditions.

Jamis's Supernova Elite has a reasonable price tag and durable component package. It's great even when 'cross season has come and gone.

Cannondale's SuperX is aggressive yet stable and race-ready out of the box. It’s not the perfect cyclocross racing bike, but it’s darn close.

This kit is far more than just a fashion statement. Velocio strikes gold with a tailored cut and Italian-made fabrics.

Fizik’s R1B shoe is one of the most elegant on the market. It's light and stiff, but it required more break-in time than usual.

Specialized’s all-around option, the Roval CLX 40 wheelset offers plenty of stiffness and solid hubs, but the braking power wasn't quite up to par.

The EC90SLs take the do-anything concept to heart. They’re purpose-built for the types of riding most of us do.

These featherweight wheels float up climbs, but their hefty price tag limits their customer base.

The Apex MTB shorts are a home run; the Apex bib liners are a solid base hit.

If you liked the Poc Trabec, you'll love the Tectal. If the Trabec wasn't your jam, don't expect the Tectal to cure what ails you.

An elite racer with both pursuit and endurance chops. Cervelo's T4 is designed for going fast with aero tube shapes and a big BB.

A stiff and nimble ride with an ideal price tag. The Felt TK2 is a great ride for someone who wants to get started with track racing.
