We told you all about the new Pinarello Grevil+ on its release back in October last year, we've now got our hands on one to test. The new gravel bike come with a full carbon frame and can fit 700c or 650b wheels with correspondingly fat rubber and are designed to be able to take everything from tarmac to dirt in their stride.

Canyon has partnered with 'cycle to work' scheme provider, Green Commute Initiative so allow customers to finance their next Canyon, which includes all types of bikes, even e-bikes. There is also no £1,000 limit, no end-of-scheme charge, and Cayon says, you can save up to 47% on your purchase.

More gravel bikes arrive at off-road and road.cc HQ this week, with a brand new Wilier Jena gravel bike and a limited edition Ritchey Swiss Cross. There is also a claimed ' strongest bike rack' from Saris, a new hydration pack from Zefal and stubby cranks from Raceface. 

You'll probably know by now that, here at off-road.cc, we like a reasonably priced trail hardtail mountain bike. The latest one to grace the dirt of our test trails is this Sonder Transmitter from UK based brand, Alpkit. We've got the SRAM NX1 specced bike with Revelation fork to give a razzing, and razz we will...

We whisked the Rondo RUUT CF2 away from road.cc to take a first look at this carbon gravel bike with adjustable geometry before they get testing it. Built for bikepacking, gravel riding, racing, touring, training or commuting this is tipped to be a super versatile bike, we loved the alloy version we tested previously and have high hopes for this carbon model. 

It's been three years since the introduction of the original Merida eOne-Sixty, in that time the bike has performed well with top reviews over many mountain bike publications, including ours. Now it gets an overhaul with an integrated Shimano battery, a carbon front triangle, mixed wheel sizes and even battery cooling air vents. 

MIPS adds another string to their brain protection bow this week as they acquire Fluid Inside, a company producing an impact protection system based on using small pockets of fluid and foam filled pods which mimic your Cerebral Spinal Fluid thus helping to manage rotational and linear forces during a crash.
