Specialized Releases $13,000 Ultralight Levo R
Spend more money for a smaller battery. That’s where most of the weight has been saved. Why doesn’t it have the Cane Creek Ti cranks like the Levo 5 Ltd?

Seb's Day 2 Randoms - Eurobike 2026
I’ve been following Intradrive’s progress for the few years, and where 4-5 years ago is sounded like a good idea. I feel that with way that ebike motors have evolved in the last couple of years, it has obsoleted itself. It’s a shame, I was routing for them.

That was the first time I've seen that term and I didn't like it.

First Look: The New Canyon Lux World Cup Gets 110mm Travel & Adjustable Anti-Squat
Out of this, the mullet Trek you can't buy, the new Giant Anthem and the new Specialized Epic 9, I think the Epic looks like the bike I'd most want to ride.

Specialized Launches Radial Tire Lineup
The price is really good and I’ve ridden the old ones, which were already good tyres. These should great. I’m hoping for Cannibal (really good front tyre) and Hillbilly options soon.

Avinox's New M2S & M2 Motors: All the Details and Initial Impressions
So impressive headline numbers for the click bait, but in the real world, it's too much power to be useable and it drains the battery quicker. Cool, just what you want from an ebike.

First Ride: SRAM Wireless 7-Speed XX DH Transmission
SRAM just make up the cost of these parts. How much do you think we can get away with? That chain does not cost more to make than a $50 chain, but they are charging 3 times the price. I don't understand why people buy into SRAMs Transmission system, it's going to cost you a fortune to live with. A new chain and cassette $655, utterly insane!

The 2026 Specialized Levo R is in a Category of its Own
Most people are missing the point of this bike. It’s not an EXC bike, it’s just a bike to smash out miles of fun riding on most stuff. Lots of people didn’t get the Kona Process 111, enduro like geometry on a short travel bike, but people who rode them loved them, because they were a hoot.
I tried this bike and it’s great fun. Genuinely it might be the first ebike I’d consider owning. Just lots of fun mountain biking

Bike Check: Stoll Bikes' P32 Prototype Went From Idea to Reality in Two Months
I know for a fact many big brands are currently R&Ding 32”wheel bikes now. Expect several to be released next year. I for one am up for trying one. I’m tall and going from a 26” to a 29er in was a revelation to me on my trail bike. I’ve been having fun on some full sus XC bike recently and can see these 32s being interesting.
