Modern cross-country mountain biking is gnarly, there are no two ways about it and Fox is moving away from the down-country-friendly 34 Step-Cast and bringing an all-new chassis with the 34 SL without adding grams. There's more than a new lower, so read on for more.

POC's Tectal and Kortal helmets have become mainstays in the helmet space, known for their tech-heavy emphasis on safety. Today, the brand with roots deep in snow sports has unveiled its newest mountain bike-specific helmet, the Cularis. This helmet joins its existing range and benefits from ventilation and safety technology advancements.

With the updated Jeffsy and the release of the Decoy SN MX, YT Industries has been on a bit of a stormer recently and has kept the momentum going by offering up to 50% off of a range of selected bikes. It's safe to say, now is the best time to buy a brand-new YT Industries mountain bike.

Hot on the heels of the recently unveiled 34 SL cross-country fork, Fox has announced a further two new forks. The first is a new 36 that's received a well-deserved update, ushering in a new air spring and chassis, and the 36 SL, which gets a similar treatment to the 34 SL. Here's everything you need to know.

SRAM's brake range has expanded from the Level cross-country system and budget-focused DB8 to the trail/enduro Code, Guide, and Maven.

The unveiling of SRAM's Transmission drivetrains has been one of the most noteworthy announcements of the last few years. Today, the drivetrain giant has brought what was reserved for AXS or wireless shifting to a pair of mechanical or cable-actuated drivetrains. Meet Eagle 90 and Eagle 70.

Over the past couple of weeks, Fox has been all about its forks, bringing updates to its 36 while unveiling the 34 SL and 36 SL. Today, the brand has turned its attention to its gravity-focussed shocks, the X2 and DHX2 giving both ground-up overhauls with all-new chassis and internals.

Starling Cycles is never a brand to conform. Known for simple, repairable single-pivot steel frames, giving away free frames seven years after the date of purchase and now turning an April Fools joke on its head – the brand has pulled the cover off the Dive, the brand's attempt at a 26-inch wheel resurgence. This is not a joke!

The Firebird is Pivot's long-standing enduro bike.
