PNW Components' Loam Lever has developed something of a following since its release thanks to its smooth action, great build, and hardy-yet-soft pad. Now, the brand has launched the Loam Lever Gen 2, taking everything we love about the original lever but adding more adjustability describing it as 'the yoga mat for your thumb'.

To many, linkage forks are a thing of the past. Brands like Trust have had a go at creating and selling a modern linkage fork but ceased manufacturing shortly. But could there be a solid application for a linkage suspension fork for gravel bikes? RockShox and SRAM seem to think so.

Advertising comes in all shapes but only seldom does it come in the form of a video game. I mean, there's the in-your-face Pepsiman but it's not often we see bike brands taking to the digital platform unless that brand is Specialized, this time taking to Roblox to raise its profile.

Using the Silverton range as a blueprint, Syncros has developed the Revelstoke 1.0S carbon wheels designed for anything from trail to enduro riding. They feature a complete redesign with a wider internal width and a shallower rim depth in a bid to boost compliance and comfort.

Rapha’s Trail Gore-Tex Infinium jacket makes for an excellent winter jacket thanks to its exceptional ability to keep nasty weather at bay while remaining surprisingly breathable. It’s so good, in fact, that it’s one of the best MTB jackets you can currently buy - but such high performance comes with an equally high price tag, and some refinement would make this fantastic garment even better.

The news of SRAM's impending direct-mount derailleur tech has been a hot topic over the last few months, having been spotted on Nino Schurter's World Championship-winning bike. Now Ratio has stepped in having teased images of its prototype Direct-Mount derailleur kit.

Today, Starling Cycles has presented its next evolution of frame designs. While the frames may look pretty similar to previous generations, the upgrades are more than skin deep, promising significant performance upgrades whilst retaining the practical steel-tubed look the brand is known for.

Automatic suspension adjustment is something that we've seen for a few years now, first with the Fox Live Valve and, of course, SRAM's Flight Attendant system. But, is Shimano looking to enter the market with its own system? It looks that way as we've come across a patent on revealing its own designs.

Eagled-eyed enduro fans may have noticed Giant Factory team riders plummetting down the EWS's stages aboard something a little different looking. Today, Giant has pulled the covers on the all new Reign and Reign Advanced, a new enduro bike that benefits from more suspension, an updated geometry, and a host of fresh tech.
