The Specialized Enduro isn't the only bike to get a lick of the Öhlins this week as Privateer, the brand known for the affordable but mega progressive enduro and trail bikes graced its 141 trail bike with the 'Swedish Gold'. That's not all as this limited edition model also gets burlier kit. Read on for all of the details.

The Loam Pedals are PNW Components' first go at flat pedals and the brand has done a respectable job. They’ve proven to shrug off pedal strikes and spin just as well now as the day they were installed. They offer shed loads of grip, but the shape and feel is very much an acquired taste.

Rapha is just as excited for the summer's dust as we are as the brand has just launched an all-new range of summer clothing, dubbed the Trail Fast + Light collection. It's built to keep riders cool and comfortable during toasty laps and all-day singletrack sessions.

Sea Otter has been and gone, and off the back of it we're seeing a few new releases landing in the office. Those come from PNW Components, Apidura, Stolen Goat and we've got a few more that we're not allowed to talk about just yet. Get a cuppa, here's what we've got.

Canyon's Strive has built up quite the reputation as one of the quickest bikes on the EWS circuit and has now received a rather long-awaited update. 2022's iteration of the Strive gets a widely updated geometry with refinements to its suspension kinematic.

Race Face’s Getta Grip Lock-On Grips provide an impressive level of grip and comfort for a relatively low price. However, the thin rubber results in little damping.

After a couple of years off due to the pandemic, The Cycle Show came back for 2022. This time, held at London's Alexandra Palace (or affectionately known as Ally Pally) the show hosted a number of cycling's famous faces while showing off some of the freshest kit in the biz. There were also a few bikes that caught our eye...

YT Industries quietly introduced an alloy version of the Gen 3 CAPRA frame with the Uncaged 6, a special specced model shod with Öhlins goodness. Now, the brand has taken the very same frame and has launched the CAPRA Core 2, a bike designed to bring everything we know and love about the Gen 3 CAPRA to a more accessible price point.

While we definitely love a top of the range, proper spendy full suspension mountain bike here at off-road.cc but there's just something that makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside when it comes to sub £1,000 bikes. The very same goes with GT's Aggressor Expert that's graced with price conscious kit and an accessible geometry.

During one of our regular trawls of the US Patent and Trademark Office, we stumbled upon something rather interesting regarding SRAM's derailleurs. This patent in particular raises the question, "is SRAM gearing up for the death of the mech hanger?"
