Ride Concepts has unveiled the fresh 2022 range, introducing two new models, giving existing shoes a fresh lick of paint and adding clip versions of some of the brand's most popular shoes. There has also been further collaboration with Rubber Kinetics, and partnerships with D3O, Cordura, and BOA.

Earlier this week a couple of the guys from 1816 Cycles dropped into the office to talk about their L’enfer Du Nord gravel bike and as luck would have it, they left one with us for testing. This high-end gravel bike comes dripping with top shelf kit, enough to get any curly bar lover’s mouth watering.

A long time coming for fans of ASSOS's road clothing, the brand has now launched its first-ever gravel collection. It's designed for riders who stray off-road from full on gravel riding through to light trail.

Last year Specialized refined the Tactic and launched the Gambit full face enduro helmet. For 2022, the brand is continuing the theme by updating the much-loved Ambush and bolstering the helmet range with the budget-friendly Camber. Here's everything you need to know.

​It's official, Ritchey has been a staple cycling brand for 50 years. As the brand celebrates its 50th anniversary it takes a look back on its history, unveils fresh commemorative logos, limited edition framesets, and soft goods.

Big suspension brand, Öhlins has added to the highly regarded range, now offering a fork built specifically for the rigors of downcountry riding. The RXF34 M.2 replaces the previous iteration, offering short travel and a setup that's ideal for short travel 29" bikes with a brand new damper.

While certainly different, the Fox Defend Fire Bib Pants are a marriage between solid performing winter-focused trousers and bibs. As a result, they’re pleasantly warm in cooler temperatures, and they offer even more protection against the elements. They’re comfy, too, though the bib straps could use some refinement.

This week we've welcomed a raft of new and interesting kit into our office and have already bunged it out for testing. Here we've got some clipless pedals from Hope, underwear from Altura, and Specialized's new helmets. There are also some grips built especially for curly bars that look like they've been taken straight off of the Ninja Turtles' bikes.

Transition has released its first-ever e-MTB dubbed the repeater. It comes sorted with 160mm of suspension at both ends with 29" wheels and a Shimano EP8 motor. The brand says that it's a bike that's ready for anything, whether that's ditching the shuttle or exploring fresh trails.

It's not been long since the launch of the Terra, Orbea's carbon-framed graveler. Though, the team has kept busy having focussed on creating an alloy framed counterpart, named the Terra Hydro. Not only does the new alloy bike make the Terra more accessible to a wider range of people, but it also features additional mounts for panniers, boosting its capacity for big bikepacking epics.
