Whether you're a fan of EF Pro Cycling teams or you just love the color pink, Knog's limited edition EF Collection is worthy of your attention. This co-branded collection includes several of Knog's best-selling products done up in EF logos in the teams' recognizable style and signature pink color. This collaboration started earlier this year when Knog partnered up with EF Pro Cycling to provide the teams with lights and security devices.
Integrated MIPS II safety system - the same brain protection found in more expensive helmets. In-mold construction - durable, lighter shell with good impact absorption. Roc Loc Sport Fit System - easy dial adjustment and solid stability. Decent ventilation and padding - comfortable on everyday rides and moderate distances. This is a helmet that's good enough to wear with confidence. For me, that's the bottom line.
Initially, Santini was making general wool garments. However, because of his passion for cycling, he began to focus more on sport-specific clothing, including, of course, cycling apparel. And Santini would make his mark on the cycling world. He was the first to introduce Lycra into the sport in the 1970s. Throughout the 70s and 80s, Santini Cycling continued to innovate, trying new fabrics that would decrease wind resistance and improve aerodynamics.
Nestled high in the Swiss Alps, Lenzerheide isn't just breathtaking scenery-it's a proving ground and an undoubtedly important stop in this year's UCI Downhill World Cup. Back again for 2025, the track has already earned its reputation as one of downhill racing's most unpredictable tests. Today, we got a first look through the lens of Jackson Goldstone and GoPro, and the verdict is clear: this year's course could prove to be as unpredictable as it is scenic.
Part of that hassle has to do with the feeling that if I'm going to ride a bike, I need to RIDE, right? Like, there's this expectation that if you're not doing tons of miles in full kit, then why bother? I'm here to tell you, it doesn't have to be like that. You can just jump on a bike in street clothes and pedal aimlessly around a new town for as little as you want, and it will be a great time.
As summer winds down, the folks at Bikepacking Roots are looking forward to and planning future adventures. They are also raising funds to help continue their mission of growing the bikepacking community, creating and maintaining bikepacking routes, and advocating for public land access and protection. You can show your support by giving during the Bikepacking Roots fall fundraising campaign, and have a chance to win a range of awesome prizes in the fall prize giveaway.
Although the new Yeti Cycles LTe shares a few similarities with the , the bike is distinctly different, and I view it as a slight evolution of the . The LTe is proudly race-bred and designed to go fast. This is thanks in part to the new drive unit, Sixfinity suspension, and tweaked geometry, but it also has a lot to do with the development and refinement of the chassis that was introduced with the Yeti Cycles 160e.
Zwift has quietly shifted gears on its racing strategy. While there's no formal boilerplate statement, the platform has confirmed it will no longer organize or bankroll elite-level esports racing the way it once did. That means no prize money, no big-budget broadcasts, and no independently governed elite leagues, such as the Zwift World Series. But after the Esports Worlds and USA Cycling Esports Nationals changed to MyWhoosh, most Zwifters saw the writing on the wall, but most didn't bat an eye.
The East Bay Bike Party is a monthly mobile party for riders of all ages, experience levels, and bike types, to meet, ride, and play together in the streets on the second Friday of the month with upwards of 400 riders usually meeting near an East Bay BART station at 7:30 pm. Every month is a different costume theme, so dress your best and bring some music too.
Bianchi and Scope are celebrating Bianchi's 140th year in the industry with limited-edition offerings of the Specialissima and Oltre. One is for all-out road speed while the other balances performance on and off the pavement. The Founder Edition Bianchi Specialissima RC and Oltre RC see best-in-class components and are incredibly limited. Both have Scope's Artech 6.A wheels, the brand's top offering for road and gravel racing.
The thrill of the drift is back - and now it comes with an electric boost. Huffy's Electric Green Machine reimagines the iconic three-wheeler that defined countless childhood afternoons, upgrading it with enough speed, style, and control to satisfy today's adrenaline-seekers. Designed for older kids and adults, this electric drift trike delivers backyard fun at a whole new level, giving riders a perfect mix of nostalgia and performance.
Rocky Mountain does things its own way. Instead of contracting with an e-bike drive unit manufacturer like Bosch or Fazua, the brand developed its own. In 2017, Rocky introduced the Dyname 3.0, and in 2022, the improved Dyname 4.0. Two years later, the Dyname drive system slimmed up, with the introduction of the Dyname-S4 Lite for the SL version of the Instinct Powerplay. Now, owners of the Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay SL can add more boost with a firmware update to the SL motor.
The new version retains the same DNA that made the original 5D a standout, including its signature wing tops and cool forward sweep, while trimming weight, lowering stack height, and broadening fit options. Add in updated internals for entirely hidden routing, and you get a lighter, stiffer, and more comfortable cockpit that fits more bikes and more riders than ever.
Every so often, when I get into a groove and push the miles or intensity a little too hard, my shins let me know. That sharp, nagging discomfort tells me I've crossed the line into overtraining. These days, when I feel it start, I immediately back off fewer hills, easier cadence, maybe even an extra rest day. Within a few days, the pain usually eases up. It's a good reminder that recovery is part of training, not separate from it.
Both new wheels have the same overall design and spacing. The Vigor AR and Vigor Stealth AR share a 30mm depth and a wider 24mm inner width. Paired with a 28mm outer width, the new wheels are capable of a massive tire width range, from 28mm to 50mm. There are distinguishing aspects between Rolf Prima's new all-road offerings, such as a ceramic coating on the Stealth rim. However, most of these differences are evident in hub selection and spoke count.
Paul Couderc's hometown and his spot in Bannes, France, played host to the third of five events this past summer, and the newly revamped course delivered some big hang time on even bigger features. Couderc's vision for 2025 was "chaos by design." And when you invite nearly 40 of the sport's heavy hitters over for a multi-day jam, you can bet that chaos was had.
The refreshed design makes it easier to start an activity and view stats while exercising. Pace, distance, time, and heart rate are all clearly visible on screen. As you approach a segment, a banner with the segment name and a circle indicator appear on the watch face. The circle updates in real time to reflect progress, and show whether you're ahead or behind your personal record.
The Mars 3.0 is an excellent companion for road trip adventures. It has an upgraded folding system that takes about 10 seconds to fold the frame in half. This is 3 seconds faster than the Mars 2.0. As a result, it takes less time to place your ebike in storage, and vice versa. The Mars 3.0 also has a torque sensor, replacing the previous cadence sensor.
Specialized continues to redefine what's possible in gravel cycling with the launch of the Diverge 4, a bike designed for those who thrive on adventure, embrace rugged terrain, and chase the kind of rides that last all day - and sometimes all night. Positioned as the ultimate escape machine, the Diverge 4 blends speed, comfort, and capability into a single package built for riders who demand performance on every surface, from washboard backroads to flowing singletrack.

Earlier this year, Giro quietly launched the 3rd generation of the Chamber clipless mountain bike shoes. Now known as the Chamber III, the latest version builds on the EWS and World Cup-winning foundation of its predecessor, with several updates, a lighter weight, and a notably slimmer profile. It doesn't stray far from the aesthetics of the Chamber II, and more importantly, the performance that made that shoe a go-to pick for many aggressive downhill, enduro, and trail riders and racers.
A while back in the summer, I took a look inside the Zéfal factory to see how one of the oldest accessory manufacturers in the cycling industry still makes a majority of their products in France. In a time where basic biking items like water bottles, bottle cages, pumps, racks, fenders, rearview mirrors, and even chain lube are often made far away in Asia to keep costs low, family-run Zéfal manages to still make them all in Europe.
"I asked my mom what she wanted for her 65th birthday," he said in a September 10 Facebook post. "She said it's always been on her bucket list to ride a century. I told her I'm free on Tuesday." Continuing his post, Pastrana explained that his mother is a public school teacher in Baltimore who never takes a day off. Apparently, when she does, she rides 100 miles!

Built on the dream of being able to shift without removing your hand from the handlebars, SRAM has since built an empire of technology that has fundamentally changed how we ride. Nearly 40 years after the introduction of Grip Shift, the component giant is paying tribute to this history with a limited-edition groupset that honors the past while delivering today's most innovative tech in a bright and shiny new package: the 1987 Collection.
