The wandering bite point is when the lever pulls to the bar, and the brakes do nothing. It’s a common issue with SRAM Maven brakes, whether ULT or Base models.

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.

"Our heritage is rooted in building gear for people who live and thrive in the mountains, and that includes our own team. Many of us ride; our athletes ride. Mountain biking is part of our culture," Ashley Anson, VP Design at Arc'teryx, said.

Transition has increased the rear travel to 211mm, which translates to more traction and control when charging downhill. This straightforward approach enhances the riding experience significantly.

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 Ari Nebo Peak has the capability to handle all-mountain descending, efficient climbing, and a long-lasting battery, making it a versatile choice for e-mountain biking.

The core idea here isn't gimmickry. It's composure. Specifically, the idea that a calmer, more composed ride creates speed, and that a platform intentionally designed around 32-inch wheels can deliver that in a way a scaled-up 29er simply can't.

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.

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.

Aenomaly has been keeping up with new models and now offers their Switchgrade saddle angle adjustment hack for the most affordable droppers on the market. Headlining with the PNW Loam Gen 2, because it's a great dropper at a fair price, the latest Switchgrade Pack F model fits the following posts: PNW Loam Gen 2, OnOff Pija Gen 2, Switch Components SWR 160, and TranzX JD-YSI35.

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.

At the heart of the GREVIL MX is directly from Pinarello's Dogma XC playbook. A 67.75° head angle and 101mm of trail mirror the front-end numbers of the DOGMA XC hardtail. That slack, confidence-inspiring front end pairs with the Pinarellos' in-house, flagship MOST Talon Ultra Light integrated cockpit. The result is a lower, more compact riding position, and it should keep the GREVIL MX fast and efficient on hardpack and smoother terrain.

Cane Creek's new HCR stem, headsets, and spacers solve the hassle of fully integrated hidden cables by not quite fully integrating them. We got a glimpse of a not-quite-so-integrated setup with it last summer at MADE, but now you can actually buy it. Instead of hiding everything completely inside your stem and spacers, the HCR system gets open slots in the front of the spacers and under the stem.

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.

The Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) has solved many problems. If you've ever had a cycling weekend cut short due to a bent or broken derailleur hanger and not been able to find a replacement, you know what I'm talking about. The UDH eventually gave way to SRAM's direct-mount derailleurs, both electronic and mechanical. However, these direct-mount derailleurs posed challenges for some indoor trainers, often requiring users to fiddle with tricky adapters or ditch them altogether.

Recently, Allied has been quietly merging carbon expertise and bike design with a shared love of mountain biking. The brand first entered the world of mountain bikes in 2022 with the BC40, a wicked-fast, super-lightweight XC bike, and this foray (un)paved the way for the FITZ. This 140mm trail bike with obvious cross-country influence, but in a way that doesn't bleed into downcountry territory; instead, it very much leans into what we all love about this category of mountain bike: Versatility, capability, and maneuverability.

Drop bars on mountain bikes aren't exactly new. People have been experimenting with curly bars on mountain bikes since the 1980s, but in 2025, they saw a major resurgence in popularity. With high-profile racers like Keegan Swenson - among many others - modifying XC race bikes with drop bars for events like Leadville, the drop-bar MTB became a much-hyped and frequently discussed topic for the first time in many years.

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.

The Scree may appear to have a carbon frame, but a closer look reveals well-polished welds that appear non-existent in specific spots. Mondraker calls this its Stealth Alloy, and aside from a few welds, the frame looks like a carbon offering. The frame features internal cable routing, a removable battery, and rolls on 29-inch wheels front and rear. It also features quite a low standover height, as the toptube plunges downward significantly.

Cascade Components has delivered what could be the best upgrade for the Amflow PL. For $257 USD, Amflow owners can now increase rear travel to 160mm and improve suspension performance, all without tweaking the geometry. With 10mm more rear wheel travel and a more supple rear end, the Amflow PL Link from Cascade Components could make one of the best e-mountain bikes on the market even better.
