"OK yeah, New Year's is done. Everyone in the cycling industry is back to work. Anrocd our inboxes are already starting to fill up with novel bike gizmos again. But the big stories of 2026 are yet to come. We're even packing our bags for the first test trips of the season, already! Will this be the year that the cycling industry gets back to ' business as usual ' after half a decade of chaos?"
"We spent the last couple weeks of 2025 cleaning house after another busy year. First, compiling our individual favorites into a series of greatest hits Editor's Choice stories. Then, wrapping it all up tightly with a single Gear of the Year overview, summarizing the best tech and hottest trends. Finally, we also took a look back at our 20 most popular stories of '25, several of which give insight into what we might expect to see in '26."
Major cycling brands are preparing significant product and technology rollouts for 2026, with early-season test trips already planned. The industry shows signs of aiming to return toward business as usual after several chaotic years. End-of-year gear rundowns consolidated favorite products and highlighted trends through Editor's Choice and Gear of the Year features. Retrospectives of the most popular stories provided insight into emerging priorities. Shimano completed major updates to XTR Di2 for mountain bikes and revised gravel Di2, and a next-generation Dura-Ace road groupset is widely expected this season.
