The CAPRA is probably YT Industries' best-known bike and back in May of '21, it received quite the makeover. Now, it comes with an updated geometry, a refined suspension kinematic, and a host of fresh frame features. We've managed to wrangle the Core 4 model for testing and it looks absolutely primed for an enduro stage or two.

Another week, another 5 cool things, and this time, we're seeing in kit from Fox, new pedals from Oxford, 7iDP's brand new gloves along with a helmet from Cube. Here's a quick look at what you can expect to be reviewed soon.

Back in October Specialized launched the Stumpjumper EVO Alloy. Now brand ambassadors Rachael Wight and Joel Anderson have teamed with Tom Caldwell and Ian Lean to create Stumpy Shreds.

The USWE Shred 16 makes proper use of the brand’s No Dancing Monkey harness, resulting in an incredibly stable, feature-packed bag with a very respectable carrying capacity. It’s not without its caveats however as it can get pretty warm and it certainly has its quirks.

The PNW Shuttle shorts are a part of the brand's fresh Fall Trail collection. Without beating around the bush, they tick every box required to certify a top-notch mountain bike short. The fit is spot on, they’re comfortable and they come sorted with plenty of well thought out pockets. They’re rather good bang for your buck too.

Another new addition to PNW’s lineup is the Ozone Trail Jersey. It’s a no-frills wool and polyester blend t-shirt that’s soft and mega comfy. It provides a bit of warmth on those questionably cool days and I’m a fan of its low-key styling. However, it doesn’t deal with sweat particularly well.

Bolstering the well-established range of bike parts, PNW Components has launched the new Loam pedal. It claims to sit well within the Goldilocks Zone, promising plenty of grip combined with a durable build and easy serviceability. Here are all of the details.

The Optic is Norco's trail 29er that comes with a proper aggro geometry, especially when you consider the amount of travel that's on offer. With descent tearing intentions and the promises of an uplift erasing ability up the hills, we're pretty excited about this one.

This week's 5 cool things sees even more kit from a few of the brands we saw last week. Those include Fox, Oxford, and 7iDP, however, we've also got spanking kit from PNW and Prologo, and none of it we've seen before. Dive in, here's what kit you can expect to see reviewed soon.

With XC racers relying on suspension lockouts and dropper posts finding their way on XC bikes, it hasn't taken long for cockpits to get rather messy. DT Swiss looks to bring tidy cockpits to XC bikes everywhere with the new L2 and L3 remote levers.
