The Trek-Unbroken prototype is a clear signal that the '80mm of travel is enough' era of cross-country racing has officially been put to pasture.

Firewire Surfboards employs a 21-step construction process that incorporates aerospace-grade foams, carbon fiber, and bio-resins, resulting in boards that look and perform like they belong in a science fiction movie.

The special build also included a custom Bike Ahead cockpit and the latest Shimano groupset offerings, showcasing the innovative approach to gravel bike design.

A speed limiter is a built-in system that determines the maximum speed at which an electric bike's motor will continue to assist the rider. Once the bike reaches a certain speed, the motor gradually reduces power or stops assisting altogether. This system is controlled by the bike's controller, the small onboard computer that manages the motor, battery, and sensors.

What began as a playful internet prank has evolved into a genuine motorsport project. The racing version of the BMW M3 Touring 24H will compete at the legendary 24 Hours of Nürburgring in 2026, turning an April Fools' joke into a unique moment for endurance racing. Built by BMW M Motorsport, the car will take on the infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife (often called the "Green Hell"), bringing a wagon body style (rarely seen in modern motorsport) to one of the world's most demanding circuits.

The Skycamp 4.0 gets several technical updates, including a Duracore fiber-reinforced plastic shell designed for UV and temperature resistance, and BreathWeave high-density polycotton canvas that addresses condensation issues without heavy waterproof coatings.

The biggest update is the rim itself. The new TYRO uses a 45mm-deep full-carbon clincher rim with a 23mm internal width and 31mm external width. That wider internal measurement reflects where modern road and all-road setups have headed over the last few years. A wider rim supports larger tires and helps them maintain a more stable, rounded profile.

Developed for road, gravel, and MTB, Dark Energy is the outcome of four years of dedicated research and development both inside the unique Muc-Off R&D Lab and also working closely with pro-team riders and performance staff. Over that period, more than 90 formulations were created and tested through a structured loop of rigorous screening, consisting of over 8,500 hours of dynamometer and tribometer testing and over 100,000km of real-world testing.

Start with the tires and chain. Is your chain cleaned and lubed? Is the sealant in your tubeless tires good to go? If not, refresh both. Pop your bike in a stand like the Feedback Sports Pro Mechanic or Sport Mechanic 2.0, confirming that it's shifting correctly and brakes are functioning properly before embarking on any significant cycling journey.

Unlike many other brands, Ibis has adopted a more measured approach to the Ripley SL's production and rollout. The solar factory is methodically and meticulously producing frames, and complete bikes are being sent out to dealers to fulfill orders. There's only a small handful of demo and test bikes around, including a few at the Ibis HQ in Santa Cruz, CA.

YT Industries GmbH filed for insolvency in Germany last July, the dominoes fell fast. YT Industries USA shuttered on October 31st; showroom locations went dark; customer service contact info vanished from the website; and a whole lot of Capra and Decoy owners were left staring at their bikes, wondering what exactly a warranty is worth when there's nobody on the other end of the phone.

The product is Pedra's DRS (Drag Reduce System) and, according to the post, is currently a prototype. An electronic noise, similar to that of SRAM mechanical shifting, is heard, leading one to assume someone is hitting a button to activate the system.

Every ride begins long before the first pedal stroke. We wanted to create a system that respects that ritual. A space that removes friction, protects your kit, and helps you feel ready.

Terra describes the Nera as a bike that can easily crossover from World Cup race tape to the freeride scene. They use high-strength chromoly steel to deliver their desired flex and ride characteristics. Terra also claims excellent vibration damping, and, well, steel is pretty strong, too.

Tucked into their Connect menu, between the suspension fitment form and their community content page is a Product Ideas & Requests submission form that is as simple as it sounds. The description says it plainly: your feedback shapes the future of Cane Creek. New products, fitments, sizes, features - they want it all. And their team reviews every single submission as they plan upcoming designs.

The billionaire has long coveted further success in the Tour de France and the injection of the 86m, spread over five years, would elevate his World Tour cycling team closer to the annual 51m budget levels of four-time Tour winner, Tadej Pogacar and his dominant UAE Emirates team.

Hard MTB League is exactly the kind of competition Ari bikes were designed for. Our bikes are built to handle everything. The climbs, the descents, the jumps. And so are the athletes lin

Yes-you can buy a quality bike on Amazon, if you choose the right bike type, avoid "too-cheap-to-be-true" builds, and buy from a brand with real support. Amazon isn't the problem. Bad components, poor sizing choices, and bargain-bin bikes are the problem.

Perhaps the most significant change Otso made to the Waheela R is a geometry tweak. The goal with this gravel race bike was to create a frame that was confident, stable, and comfortable at high speeds. They also knew the Waheela R would need to replicate this performance on rough terrain.

The bibs continue to use Castelli's Espresso Doppio fabric, which is super soft and has a matte, non-shiny look. A solid 27% Lycra content provides form fitting, mild compression. Inside is their Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, designed for long-distance riding comfort and with distinct men's and women's designs.

The GP5000 S TR is the all-rounder, balancing weight and protection for a fast but durable (and puncture protected) ride. Designed for general purpose road riding, the new size lets you push the boundaries of what "all road" really means. And the increased volume means you can run lower pressures for more traction and comfort while doing so.

Glory Ride is the story of Tour de France champion Gino Bartali. Bartali was a legendary Italian cyclist who opposed the fascist regime of Mussolini. In a time when few spoke out against the dictator for fear of their lives, Bartali was openly critical.
