With an all-new suspension kinematic and a more progressive geometry, the XR meets the demands of modern XCO racing. No wonder that this 2027 bike is developed in close collaboration with the Lapierre PXR Racing Team. The re-engineered UD carbon frame is light and stiff, ideal for fast accelerations. Stability is ensured by the low
The new Revolt Advanced SL is the lightest and fastest gravel bike ever built by Giant. It combines aero efficiency with smooth handling in all conditions. The new frame and fork are manufactured with Giants’ propriety Advanced-SL composite. The frameset is 176 grams lighter than its predecessor and including the new integrated handlebar, wheels and
Orbea introduced the new Orca Aero, a new generation aero bicycle. It is developed seeking aerodynamic advantages for the bike and components as one system. Considering everyday conditions, like wind impact from all possible angles. Extensive windtunnel tests showed the high-impact zones to be optimized… Head tube: a thinner headtube to reduce frontal area impact.
The all-new Revel Ranger has been re-engineered from the ground up. This downcountry bike features new tubes, new links and new pivot points. In short, a total new geometry that would give riders a faster and more confident ride than ever before. Geometry updates include: A lower bottom bracket for a more in-the-bike feeling rather
The Traka is a multi-day gravel event in Girona (Spain), part of the Gravel Earth Series, and attracts thousands of riders from all over the world every year. What once started as a local initiative has grown into an international phenomenon. The organization itself speaks of a ‘party for the gravel community where inclusivity is
The RT-Zero is the flagship model in Mosaics’ Zero Ops range. Zero Ops stands for the in-house engineered carbon seatmast and topper. This D‑shaped Zero Ops mast uses an aerodynamically optimized profile that not only reduces drag but creates a stiffer structure as well. In ways that a round tube cannot. The combination of carbon
Introduced earlier this year but worth paying extra attention to since the UCI World Series in South Korea. CS Carabinieri Cicli Olympia team rider Filippo Fontana took 6th place after an impressive catch-up race in very muddy conditions. His tool, the 2026 Olympia FX-1, the full suspension bike of this 130 years (!) old brand.
We admit, we are a big fan of the BAUM brand. Every time they introduce a new model, we are on the edge of our chairs. And the latest 32” gravel bike in staggering (Shimano?) blue lives up to our expectations. Not a fit for everyone but if it does, prepare yourself for a rapid
The new Eddy Merckx 525R is developed with one main goal in mind, create an aero bike that offers an aggresive but comfortable riding position. The light carbon frame and aerodynamically shaped tubes offer the right combination for it. The geometry is progressive and optimizes rider and bike as a single aerodynamic system. A combination
Two moments were decisive for Scott Bowden’s attempt to set a new record for the fastest solo bike ride through Tasmania. The first moment took place months before the start of the tour, when the idea crossed the invisible boundary from concept to actual implementation. The second moment came in the middle of the tour
