The custom-painted ENVE road bike has among the most impressive paint jobs I've ever seen on anything, with gold accents that elevate its visual appeal significantly.

The Millenium 4.0 features a concave platform with an ultra-low profile to minimize pedal strikes, measuring 12mm at the center and 14mm at the edge.

Race Face's Turbine stem has been a popular choice for years, with several lengths and a range of anodized colors to choose from. The new 'standard' Turbine follows in the SL's aesthetic footsteps, with a similar, squared-off, and more angular design.

Batch aims to repeat the process, now in the gravel corner of the industry. Now, surely, these new gravel offerings won't completely knock your socks off, but that isn't Batch's intention. However, will they get new riders out on two wheels without the incredible cost barrier? Absolutely.

The Era SL is Race Face's lighter, more XC-oriented version of the standard Era crankset, available for eMTB and gravity use, but it's heavier. To create the Era SL, Race Face has shaved weight through an integrated spindle design and stripped-down hardware. The result is a claimed 422 grams with a 32T chainring installed. That's a 78-gram reduction over the already-respectable standard Era.

The new absoluteBLACK MTB 4-Pot Brake Piston Press Tool slides into your calipers (with the pads removed) to quickly and evenly press the pistons back to a neutral position. This lets you reinstall the pads with plenty of space for new (or any) rotors, then squeeze your brake lever to advance them to the right position.

With the new Tiagra R4000, Shimano provided the modern performance roadies are looking for. Along with improved performance, it also hit the price points they wanted and saved about 200g along the way.

With this Carbon Road, we're trying to blur the lines between 'entry level' and real performance. Phil joked that he thinks Tadej could win the Tour on this frame, and that's exactly the point. This bike wouldn't be out of place, built with SRAM Rival as a killer 'starter' carbon road bike, and then you look up, and you've got our sponsored guys building the same frameset with SRAM Red or Shimano Dura-Ace and going out there setting records.

With a laundry list of accolades and praise from across the industry, the Madrone Jab is one of the best cases against wireless shifting. With compatibility for all the major drivetrains found on drop bar and flat bar 1x bikes, the Jab is an elegant and robust solution to shifting problems for many riders, and it's now available in even more eye-catching color options.

Rimpact's Chain Damper was launched in 2024, and since then, interest in drivetrain feedback mitigation seems to be gaining momentum. The fact that current World Cup DH ruler Jackson Goldstone uses a similar device on his bike has likely caused quite a spike in interest. On their part, Rimpact supported 15 World Cup DH Teams through last season, and they're expecting that number to grow this year.

For its partnership with Tune, Reserve chose its high-performing SL Tubulent Aero rims. However, they didn't limit the options to one size; they included all three aero profiles in their lineup: 34/37 SL TA, 42/49 SL TA, and 57/64 SL TA. Reserve designed its Turbulent Aero rims to withstand real-world racing conditions rather than the controlled airflow found in some testing environments. And the SL (Super Light) rims shave 60g off a wheelset while delivering the same performance.

There's something unapologetically fast about raw carbon. No paint fades, metallic flake, or wild graphics. Just carbon fiber layup on display, nowhere to hide, just clear-coated and ready to race. That's exactly what Colnago is delivering with its new limited-edition V5Rs and Y1Rs Dark Series kits - a stripped-back livery that lets the frame's construction do the talking.

Last year, the young Canadian confirmed that notion with five World Cup Downhill wins, earning him the title of the World Cup Overall Champ. Of course, when you're the best in the world, brands like to put your name on things, as we saw with Fox Racing's Goldstone Signature Collection of apparel and accessories. Today, OneUp Components adds to that list with the launch of the brand-new Goldstone Grip.

Washington's long-time carbon wheel brand, Light Bicycle, just released what might be the first widely accessible 32″ carbon MTB wheelset. Starting at a little over $1,400, the new Anax32 XC is ready to purchase now and carries a 5-year Pro Warranty. Light Bicycle's Anax32 XC wheelset is at the front of the pack on the emerging 32-inch mountain bike space. The wheelset is geared towards the cross-country rider, so the set is relatively light. But each carbon hoop weighs 380g.
