The HotBars handlebars have a removable power-bank-slash-control-unit that's wired into the bars and out to heating elements at the ends, warming your hands through standard mountain bike grips.
The tire features a tread pattern designed for dry to damp conditions across rocky, hardpack, and medium-loose surfaces, incorporating a fast-rolling center section for straight-line efficiency.
The all-new Panaracer Gravel King ZX tire was built to maximize speed for intense gravel racing, developed to go as fast as possible on the straights with essentially the low-rolling resistance of a road slick.
The Live Valve Neo system reads terrain and rider inputs 400 times per second, automatically opening or firming the shock's compression circuit in a little as 1/70th of a second. This ensures that the shock is always optimized for the situation, firming up for efficiency, or opening up for plushness and traction.
The GT8 has all the trappings of a modern race bike: internal cable routing, integrated cockpit, UDH, internal storage, and massive tire clearance. The frame is crafted from Toray T800 carbon fiber, making it lightweight yet durable enough for a few adventures.
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 product is Pedra's DRS (Drag Reduce System) and, according to the post, is currently a prototype. An electronic noise, similar to that of SRAM mechanical shifting, is heard, leading one to assume someone is hitting a button to activate the system.
The GP5000 S TR is the all-rounder, balancing weight and protection for a fast but durable (and puncture protected) ride. Designed for general purpose road riding, the new size lets you push the boundaries of what "all road" really means. And the increased volume means you can run lower pressures for more traction and comfort while doing so.
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.
Rose focuses on aero and performance with their new Shave series. Their top spec'd Shave FFX utilizes aerospace-grade Torayca M40X carbon for a ridiculously light frame. But they didn't leave out the endurance athlete with the Shave. For those looking for a bit more of an all-day comfort experience, Rose gave the Shave their AergoConcept design.
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.
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.
