The age of longer-travel eMTBs is now, and Teewings (who?) just teased its newest high-pivot hitter that is equipped with an Avinox motor. The Flux is their second bike to hit the market, and it makes a loud statement, albeit from a brand few have heard of. To understand why we’re discussing a ..

Every time we think Gee Atherton has reached the ceiling of what’s possible on two wheels, he goes and raises the bar. His latest project, Ridgeline VII: Nepal, isn’t just a mountain bike edit; it’s a high-consequence expedition into a place that, as Gee puts it, “Does not feel like somewhere we ..

E-Mountain bikes are all the rage, and everyone wants more and more power and torque, and less weight. The best way to accomplish that formula right now is with an Avinox motor and battery. And that is just what Mondraker has done with the new Zendit. Mondraker has never been a brand to play it ..

The FOX 38 didn’t exactly need a makeover to stay relevant. Since it landed in 2020, it’s been the literal gold (Kashima) standard for anyone needing a single-crown fork that still handles the abuse of a dual-crown. Just look at the 2025 season - Richie Rude and Elly Hoskings didn’t just win on the ..

Wolf Tooth Components doesn’t know how to leave "well enough" alone. They’ve spent years obsessing over the tiny details that most riders never even think about, and their latest drop, the MKØ (Mark Zero) collection, is basically a love letter to the machine shop. MKØ isn’t just a new colorway; ..

For a while now, the mountain bike world has felt a bit like it was fracturing into hyper-specialized corners. You have your enduro specialists, your downhill purists, your XC die-hards, and your eMTB specialists. But mountain biking should be a balanced mix of everything. The movement seen with ..

There are very few people who can look at a 90-foot gap and think, “Yeah, I could probably flip that.” This week, 30-plus legends who think like that just finished up a week of absolute madness at the Hellsend Dirt Compound. Darkfest 2026 wasn’t just another week of pushing limits and progressing ..

In no shock to anyone, Specialized Bicycles has announced the Alloy version of the new Levo R, which comes in at $7,200 USD, which is $2,000 USD cheaper than the carbon Levo R Comp, with the same build kit. For that significant price chop, you get the same Specialized 3.1 motor, 840Wh battery, and ..

Last October, the mountain bike world held its collective breath. During his second run at Red Bull Rampage, Adolf Silva went down hard. We’re used to seeing Adolf walk away from the unthinkable, but this time was different. The crash resulted in a life-altering spinal cord injury, shifting his ..

I have a complicated relationship with the term “quiver-killer.” I usually find it a bit hyperbolic - like calling a salad "life-changing". But every so often, a bike comes along that makes me want to reach for the cliché. I reflected on this when talking about the Revel Rascal SL, which, to me, is ..

If you’ve been scrolling through the grainy "spy shot" corners of the internet or hawk-eyeing the starting grids of the early-season XC races, you’ve likely seen it: a lithe, purple-hued machine that looks suspiciously unlike anything in Trek’s current catalog. It’s not a Supercaliber. It’s ..

Lauf has never been a brand to follow the herd. Born in the rugged, wind-blasted landscapes of Iceland, they first turned heads with the Grit, a wild-looking carbon leaf-spring fork. Now, they’re bringing the performance through simplicity ethos to the eMTB world with the launch of the eElja - the ..

In recent years, it feels like mountain bike geometry has hit a plateau and there really isn't much more that can be done to improve the way a bike handles. Sure there are refinements and small tweaks to optimize, and that is exactly what Adam Sklar is doing with the new Tall Tale. Sklar Bikes, the ..

Usually, when a brand drops a 120mm-travel bike, the marketing department is quick to slap a "Downcountry" sticker on it and call it a day. But Forbidden isn’t most brands. And the new Reya definitely isn't that kind of bike. It's not XC, it's not Downcountry, it's just a mountain bike for riding ..

The wait is finally over for the gravity-fueled faithful. For years, the Fox 40 hasn’t just participated in the downhill circuit; it's dictated its terms from the top of the podium. But even a legend knows when it’s time to evolve. Fox has officially pulled the curtain back on the all-new 40, ..

Mountain biking has a long and polarizing history of debating (and hating) new wheel sizes, and if you've been around long enough, you've watched 26 fade, 29" face criticism and adoption, and 27.5 get caught in the crossfire. So when someone shows up to the party with a 32-inch wheel, the instinct ..

Reynolds has spent decades being synonymous with carbon. Their wheels have shown up under World Cup racers, podium finishers, and the kind of obsessive weight-weenies who know exactly what their build costs down to the last gram. Carbon was the calling card. So when Reynolds drops a line of alloy ..

Five years ago, Marley Blonsky and Kailey Kornhauser released All Bodies on Bikes and made a statement the cycling world needed to hear: people of all sizes deserve space, joy, and a place in this sport.

Forbidden Bikes has pulled back the curtain on its latest creation in classic Forbidden fashion - with a beautiful edit, and what it shows is the Reya. The Reya is a short-travel trail bike made for all of it. It's not a one-trick pony, an XC race bike, or a "downcountry" bike. It's a mountain bike ..

You’ve likely seen the Romero floating around, but if you haven’t, it's Stinner Frameworks' latest passion project, and a tease in the back of my mind since I saw it at MADE 2025. It was elegant, sure, but as anyone who has spent years at a shop bench knows, "elegant" can sometimes be a code word ..

Aventon Bikes is known for budget-friendly e-bikes, but when it started back in 2016, it had roots in performance, most notably track and fixed-gear cycling. Today, Aventon has announced what might be one of the best budget eMTBs of 2026. I use the term "budget" only when referring to the MSRP ..

Integrated cockpits changed mountain biking. They also made traveling with your bike an even more miserable engineering puzzle. Until now, every bike bag on the market assumed you'd just yank your bars off. A reasonable ask in 2015 or for someone with wireless everything, but with the continued ..

If you've been following Atherton Bikes, you already know they don't do anything halfway. The Welsh brand built its reputation on 3D-printed titanium frame lugs, bespoke geometry, and a build process that is clearly obsessive. Now they've taken that same additive manufacturing philosophy and ..
