Special for 2021, Manitou has launched a limited edition of the enduro fork, the Mezzer Pro. It's been dubbed the Sterling Edition and it gets a super detailed finish but be quick, there's only 250 available.

The Race Face Conspiracy is a simple but effective waterproof jacket. It’s comfortable, but the cut's a bit short and it can get toasty on the climbs. It also faces some pretty stiff competition at this price range.

The BikeBiz Awards are fast approaching and if you’re a keen reader of the site, you’ll recognize one of the nominees. It’s only our Rach!

Tout Terrain has launched a brand new gravel bike dubbed the Scrambler Xplore GT II. It combines the classic aesthetic of a mono-stay steel frame with the reliability of a Pinion gearbox. It's available in two different wheel sizes and with a choice of fork.

The Rockhopper Expert sits atop Specialized's entry-level cross country range. It’s light and the frame is pretty well-shaped, but the spec leaves a lot to be desired and the price sits at a confused spot in Spesh’s line up.

The Sweet Protection Knee Guards are super minimalist pads that are lightweight and very comfortable. Perhaps inevitably though, they don't provide a lot of protection for the money.

Direct sales giant, Canyon is mostly known for its comprehensive range of mountain bikes. The brand also has a reasonably condensed range of gravel bikes. Dubbed the Grail, the range has a bike for everyone should you be aiming to win races, or just to enjoy some off-road mile-munching.

Touted as suitable for all kinds of off-road riding, the Leatt Pant MTB 4.0s are exceptionally comfortable, fit excellently and have some clever features. However, the abrasion-resistant seat isn’t that abrasion-resistant and the stain-resistant coating isn’t that stain-resistant. Oh, and if you're from the UK, they're not pants either...

Released today is Specialized's new Hotwalk. While made for kids, it's been very serious business for the brand to create a bike that's as light as possible while resulting in the best ride quality that Specialized can offer.

Don't let the humorous name fool you (yep, huhn is German for chicken). The small brand that cranks out just 12 frames a year has won an award for the innovative use of 3D printing.
