Shimano's ten-speed Dura-Ace swept all before it in this year's awards, a testament both to the desirability of the new group and also to Shimano's clever marketing, releasing a few diagrams here and a teaser there over the course of the year before a full launch at the Tour de France.

Beyond Dura-Ace, carbon this, that and the other caught your attention and many readers fancy a set of FSA's carbon compact cranks with 50/34 chainrings to make steep climbs a little easier. Third place was also taken by a comfort improvment: Fizik's Arione saddle. Who can argue with a better seat?
