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.

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.

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.

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 new Levo R Alloy features the same Specialized 3.1 motor and 840Wh battery as the carbon version, providing similar performance at a lower price point.

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.

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.

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.

Otso really wanted the Warakin to be a true "all-road" bike, meaning it is ready and adaptable for all surfaces. This means tire clearance up to 50mm and a frame that is super adjustable. The Warakin comes standard with a rigid carbon fork with an axle-to-crown of 420mm.

Pinion Smart-Shift is an electronic shifting system that draws power from the e-bike battery and reduces additional wiring. The Smart-Shift integration enables automatic shifting features, too, like the pre-select and start-select modes. These two modes can automatically shift to your preferred gear when stopping. You can't use this system on Viral's non-electric models due to the absence of speed sensors.

GOODLIFE Nutrition is based in Lincoln, Nebraska, the home of Gravel Worlds, and is completely sponsoring the massive $150,000 prize purse. While it is already one of the marquee events on the gravel circuit, the $150,000 payout makes Gravel Worlds the largest single-day prize purse in gravel racing. This is a major investment from the sports nutrition brand GOODLIFE Nutrition and a milestone for the event and, arguably, for the sport of gravel racing itself.

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.
