This week’s a little light on new products, but there’s a few really interesting new upgrades from Vertical and Cycling Ceramic worth a look. Plus dual-sided Stages PMs for Dura-Ace, the 2023 UCI schedule, and a lightweight Scott road/gravel e-bike. Plus the best MTB videos from December to get us pumped to ride!

December 16, 2022 The Pro
This week there are killer new bikes from Colnago, Battaglin, Wilier, and Wilde, plus a new Scott Scale with some fascinating weight-saving tricks. I also found a few really cool items (one’s pretty weird), some big news from EWS, and DJI’s new Mini 3 stays small enough for a jersey pocket, but just keeps getting better.

This week we have some odd items, from a retro GT cargo bike concept to bleeding edge new aero bikes and a list of the new UCI rules that allow them, plus an updated Look all-road bike, Giant enduro bike, and a gorgeous Kafka-esque art bike from Festka. Zwift updates and Strava recaps, too, plus tons more fun little things!

This week we have a slick new Ridley allroad bike, two incredibly lightweight e-mountain bikes (that go about saving grams very differently), a rippin’ new Commençal trail bike, Ritchey celebrates 50 years, an interesting MTB saddle, wildly expensive (and radically different) TT aero bars, and more!
