The Tucker III 2Vi Mips combines cutting-edge aerodynamic engineering, lightweight construction, and race-validated safety technology, emphasizing safety, comfort, and speed for enhanced performance.

Open's new bike is designed to be both aerodynamic and suitable for loaded bikepacking, achieving a balance between speed and carrying capacity across varied terrains.

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.

Why Cycling Gloves Wear Out So Fast The palm of your glove absorbs: Constant road vibration Brake pressure and grip force Sweat and salt Friction against bar tape Impact in the event of a fall That contact area gets worked every single mile. Helmets last years. Shoes last seasons. Bib shorts rotate. Gloves? If you ride consistently, one year is normal.

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.

Mass dampers help with vibration damping by using a weight suspended between two springs, which absorbs vibrations and reduces the transfer to the rider.

The Roval Terra CLX III weighs just 1,079g for the set, making it the lightest, most compliant gravel race wheels ever made, including tubeless rim tape and valve stems.

The special build also included a custom Bike Ahead cockpit and the latest Shimano groupset offerings, showcasing the innovative approach to gravel bike design.

The biggest update is the rim itself. The new TYRO uses a 45mm-deep full-carbon clincher rim with a 23mm internal width and 31mm external width. That wider internal measurement reflects where modern road and all-road setups have headed over the last few years. A wider rim supports larger tires and helps them maintain a more stable, rounded profile.

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 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 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.

It uses a semi-closed cell foam that works by slowly absorbing the air pressure in fully inflated tires. Then, when you puncture, the rapid release of air from your tire causes them to swell up and fill the tire, keeping you riding on air...almost like normal.

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.

Race Face uses the same rim for its Era eMTB wheelset as it does for its standard Era wheels. These rims have a distinct profile, front and rear, which delivers the blend of compliance and strength they are looking for. On the standard Era wheels, the front rim is 18.6mm deep, while the rear rim is 22.6mm. Both rims share a 30mm internal width, paired with a 37.2mm external width.

The new NOBL FAR Series rims are the widest, strongest, and lightest they've ever made, and they come with lots of build options to turn them into complete wheels. Designed to optimize aerodynamics with wide tires, they're also exceptionally lightweight while claiming toughness inspired by the brand's mountain bike rims. An impressive trio of features, so let's see how they do it...

Italian component brand Deda is leaning hard into versatility, but for a single wheel. It seems that 2026 is already the year of the "do-it-all-road-wheel," and with that, Deda launches an all-new Allroad Carbon wheelset. The wheelset is a modernly wide, tubeless-ready carbon option designed to hop the sidewalk between road and gravel riding. Rather than splitting its carbon lineup into narrowly focused categories, Deda positions the Allroad Carbon as a catch-all wheelset.
