The Spoon 35 from Spank offers the steering precision of a 35mm clamp at an attractive price, but don’t don't go thinking this stiff, comfortable bar is 'cheap'. Other than some finicky bar graphics, there’s very little to complain about.

The FUNN Equalizer stem is a short, flippable stem that’s built to last. It looks great and the flip feature is a nice touch, but it's pretty fiddly to install.

While a big player in the world of mountain bikes, Giant Bicycles has also made a considerable mark with the range of gravel and cyclocross rigs. Giant has almost every budget covered from wallet-friendly adventure bikes to eye-wateringly blingy gravel bikes. Here's our guide to the full 2021 range.

Decathlon brand Van Rysel has introduced the EDR CF GRX gravel bike, bringing a full carbon frame and Shimano GRX at a very friendly price: £1,700. 

Newly rescheduled, due to very understandable circumstances, is the Frontier 300 gravel race. Organisers have revisited landowners, revised the route, and changed the date to June 2021 to get the supported all-road ride going once again.

Always reviewed well here at Off-road.cc, Leatt has updated the range of riding gear for 2021. In the range, we now find new tech, fabrics that are designed to enhance comfort, protection, and all-around on-bike performance.

For 2021 Marin has revised the Rift Zone to make it include a whole range of bikes, featuring a couple of new models, one you may recognise under a different name. Under the Rift Zone name are now three bikes and the brand's kids' bike.

The Birzman Roar 25g Set is a very nicely made CO2 inflator that sets itself apart with one small but handy difference. It’s well priced and easy to use, too, though its tiny size means leverage is low for piercing canisters, and the action can get a little stiff if things do go wrong.

As a way of celebrating a rich history in mountain biking, Ritchey has announced a limited edition Team Edition colourway for the Ultra hardtail.

For 2021 Vitus has brought a fair few updates to the Sommet and Escarpe. These include a brand new carbon frame and a revised suspension platform. The geometry has had some tweaks and there's a flip-chip in both frames.
