Ridley // Scott // Ritchey // Predator // Orbea & more!
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!
Moots // BMC // Yeti // Marin // Tacx // AMS // Esker & more!
This week, it’s a good split between road and mountain bikes. The new Moots shows off how integrated titanium bikes can be, and BMC’s not far behind with their new e-road bike, and Esker just adds mounts for everything on their new ti gravel bike. For MTB, there’s a new Yeti XC bike and Marin trail bike, and unbelievably light grips. Plus LOTS of fun industry news in the Small Bites section!
Scott // Orbea // Colnago // Cannondale // YT // Rodeo Labs & more!
This week we’ve got two killer new mountain bikes from Scott and Orbea, some radical gravel bikes from YT and Rodeo Labs (plus a really light gravel bar from Cadex), and a very random assortment of weirdness, reboots, artist collabs, prototypes, and e-bikes worth a look.
SRAM Eagle AXS Direct Mount Derailleur & SL Cassette first look!
This closeup look at the SRAM Eagle direct-mount derailleur and new Eagle SL cassette shows off some interesting (and confusing) features. There’s also a new one-piece Quarq power meter chainring for mountain bikes, which could be the secret to Flat Top chain compatibility on mountain bikes.
