We were super lucky to be shown around the Oakley headquarters in California and we hope you enjoy getting to know them a bit better. A truly innovative company, Oakley have always led the way in their industry. The level of research and development that goes into each product is pretty impressive and it's clear to see why they have been so successful.

We hope you enjoyed this tour and keep your eyes peeled for more great Oakley content coming up right here on GCN.

Illegal Super Bike | So Fast It Was Banned!

Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad. But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
