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.

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 Laget Aero One is a super custom bike that's going to cost you a lot of money. It isn't cheap or easy to make, with complex outer shapes and thin cross sections.

The Tall Tale is the type of bike that can easily handle both quick after-work rides and multi-day bikepacking adventures. It can climb efficiently while still providing confidence while descending.

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

Tucked into their Connect menu, between the suspension fitment form and their community content page is a Product Ideas & Requests submission form that is as simple as it sounds. The description says it plainly: your feedback shapes the future of Cane Creek. New products, fitments, sizes, features - they want it all. And their team reviews every single submission as they plan upcoming designs.

The bicycle itself is already an artwork on its own. Painting onto something that already existed was an interesting concept. It changes the way you see the object. These are not graphics or paint concepts. Rather, this is original art-ride it or display it on a wall!

REEB is rolling into its 15th year with two new steel hardtail frames: the Re:Dikyelous and the Hall Pass. And no, they're not resting on any anniversary laurels here, worthy of the cult-like following they've gained. These are proper, purpose-built machines.

I've been dreaming of this one for a long time. It's a nod to so many things I love.... The klunkers of the MTB pioneers, the untouchable cool of a Cook 3 Bar cruiser, and, of course, my own beloved 1×1, which has been my main city bike for over a decade. This was a project from the heart.

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.

Arizona's State Bicycle Company has a video series called "Riding Fixed, Up Mountains, With Pros". And apparently, this is episode 17! Man, I didn't even know these existed. If you have an extra 30 minutes, it's worth the watch. Keegan starts the climb at 5515′ and climbs 3204′ over 24 miles on a fixed-gear bike, smashing a 48tx19t! And there is a surprise at the end...

That's right, you read it correctly. Minnesota's Surly Bicycles wants you to up your daily fiber as they join the masses, and spec some carbon bits on the new 700c Black Cherry Fizz Midnight Special. Don't worry, if you prefer your Midnight Special with a steel fork and trusty aluminum hoops, come this Spring you can get that if you want. But, more on that at a later date.

But here is what that $2,600 will get you: 6061-T6 aluminum frame (note that these frames don't have internal cable routing) Fork: 140mm RockShox Pike Select Shock: RockShox Deluxe Wheels: Stans Flow S2 Comp 29 Brakes: SRAM DB8 Stealth Drivetrain: SRAM Eagle 90 Transmission OR Shimano XT (mechanical) Tires: Maxxis Rekon EXO - 29×2.5 Cockpit: PNW Components and Ergon mashup
