Focus hasn't held back with updates for 2021. First off, there's the 2021 JAM which gets a more downhill orientated look with a slacker head angle, shorter rake, and a flip-chip. Then there's the all-new THRON which gets a pedal-friendly 130mm of squish and it's made to tackle both techy and flow trails. Last but not least, there's the updated F.O.L.D suspension platform which both of these bikes benefit from. Read on for all of the details.

Maybe a long time coming for a few, but the Specialized T9 Butcher is now available with tan sidewalls. However, that's not all, with this tyre the brand will be giving back to the trails through the Soil Searching initiative.

The new Scorpion Enduro R is a rear-specific mountain bike tyre that rolls quickly and grips well in a range of conditions. Unfortunately it leaves something to be desired when braking over bone-dry surfaces.

The Stamp Lace is part of Crankbrothers’ recently-launched shoe range. The considered design and excellent pedal grip make it a cracking shoe, but it's pretty expensive when compared to the competition.

With the ever growing demand for both e-bikes and gravel bikes, Kona thought that it would only be natural to pair the two and introduce the Libre EL. It's a new e-gravel bike for 2021 that's built around Shimano's E7000 drive system. Here's a quick look at the spec and details of our new test bike.

Back in 2016, Adam Miller and a crack team of industry veterans (who went on later to launch Revel) unleashed Why Cycles into the wild. Why Cycles offers a full range of titanium framed bikes from your ready-to-bikepack gravel bikes to hardcore hardtails that also aren't shy of an adventure. Read on to see what the brand has to offer.

With the never-ending evolution of mountain bikes and e-bikes Shimano has noticed that these new demands are putting more stress on drivetrains than ever before. To solve this, Shimano has introduced LinkGlide which is designed to increase drivetrain durability whilst offering seamless shifting.

Today Forestal has bolstered its range of e-mountain bikes with the trail-friendly Cyon which gets the brand's Twin Levity suspension platform. Then there's the all-out downhill bike, the Hydra. That one is based on the existing enduro bike, the Siryon, but it's been built to cope with the rigours of World Cup downhill tracks.

After releasing the brand's first mountain bike tyres back in February 2019, Pirelli has launched an all-new range of category-focussed tyres in the UK. Having more than a century's worth of experience developing tyres for F1, motocross and WRC the updated Scorpion range completes the full tyre line up with fresh treads, casings and compounds.
