Editors' Picks: Our Top Clipless MTB Shoes for 2026

Reminder to anyone reviewing a shoe: Velcro wears out if it’s in a spot that you undo with after every ride. Occasionally mfgers recognize this & make the strap replaceable. Are any of these shoes so equipped?

Editors' Picks: Our Top Clipless MTB Shoes for 2026

@mikekazimer: clips or cleats, regardless I’m just glad the entire article referred to ‘clip pedals’ rather than the archaic ‘clipless’ used in the title.

Review: One Year With the High-Pivot Canyon Sender CFR DH Bike - Fast & Refined

Why does Stephane think split pivot chainstays make it really hard to have size specific CS? It’s no different than the typical 4 bar situation.

Avinox Issues Statement on eBike Power, Speed, and Safety

Avinox, the brand that doesn’t seem worried that customers are all pretending to live in NZ to unlock the 28 mph speed? Avinox, the brand that is pretending that they’re unaware of the connection between power and uphill speeds? Avinox, the brand that pretends they don’t know that a 12 spd cassette enables high torque at the wheel for that 300 lb rider they’re pretending to be caring about? Avinox, the brand that pretends they don’t know that in fact the industry will innovate plenty (light weight, less frictional loss, ..) if Class 1 is actually capped at reasonable power and torque levels?

Wolf Tooth Launches Locked-In Bar Ends with Joe Breeden
