Aventon has been enjoying some well-deserved success after the launch of its first full-suspension eMTB. Using that momentum to build on, they decided to display and tease us with a prototype of their new eGravel bike.

King of the Hammers, now in its 20th year, has evolved from a small contest among friends to a major off-road racing event, drawing over 80,000 attendees.

The Geomax MB34 is designed for maximum ground penetration and braking stability, ensuring that it hooks up without hesitation, similar to its motorized counterparts.

The 32" wheeled train is blazing a big wheeled trail towards Monterey, CA, and I’m excited to see all the innovations in the 32" wheel department.

The MK6 features a durable chassis based on an advanced suspension system that enables it to roll comfortably on rugged terrains and off-road destinations.

GEHOcab's EDGE Explorer Trail looks less like something you'd find at an RV dealership and more like a structure designed for a remote research outpost, all hard facets, dark charcoal caps, and angular geometry that refuses to apologize for its size. The two-tone silver and black body reads almost monumental, and parked next to a RAM TRX or an F-150, it turns the truck into something closer to a tactical vehicle than family transportation.

In the short term, expectations are brutally realistic, but this is still a team intent on making noise from day one. That intent will be made clear when Cadillac unveils the livery of its first F1 car during a Super Bowl commercial Sunday. Such a move is a statement and arrival aimed as much at mainstream America as at a paddock that, for years, questioned whether the brand belonged on the grid at all.

The Trek-Unbroken prototype is a clear signal that the '80mm of travel is enough' era of cross-country racing has officially been put to pasture.

Terra describes the Nera as a bike that can easily crossover from World Cup race tape to the freeride scene. They use high-strength chromoly steel to deliver their desired flex and ride characteristics. Terra also claims excellent vibration damping, and, well, steel is pretty strong, too.
