**BRAND NEW** Riding is a state of mind. For us, it means freedom. Freedom to express ourselves, freedom of movement. When we set out to design our own technical apparel range, we wanted to come up with something that’d allow the rider to feel just that. Introducing our Technical Apparel range, available now from muc-off.com. #mucoff

Let The Heckling Begin • In 1996 the Heckler was created as a rude interruption to mountain bike designs of the time. Its solid, full suspension build and aggressive swagger proved that a well-proportioned trail bike could elevate rider’s on-trail experiences. Today’s Heckler carries all that attitude forward into a new era - A full carbon frame, VPP suspension and pedal-assist merge to create a platform that feels light and agile yet with the power to make rare rides the norm. • The New Heckler: - 150mm VPP® rear travel, 160mm fork - 27.5-inch wheels - 504wh battery capacity - 65.5-degree head angle - Available in CC carbon - Reserve DH/30 carbon wheel option - Lifetime warranty - Sizes: S-XXL • Hit the link in our bio🔝 to discover what makes Heckler tick. • #LetTheHecklingBegin

@raceface

Raceface reckon they have produced a grip that stops you losing perspective on what’s important – getting out and riding your bike. Bold claims, should that be in the test criteria?

@transitionbikes

The latest Transition to hit the shop is a new carbon Scout, it looks like it is steering the brand in a new, sleek design era with as capable as ever, progressive geometry. It gets slightly longer travel (140mm), is made from carbon, bucking the brands' trend to launch alloy first and retains its 27.5"wheels. We'd love to get aboard one of these and see how it rides......

The all new Scout is here!⁣ ⁣ Our modern day take on the Bottlerocket, the Scout will awaken your inner child. Manual here, scrub that, skid there, pedal up this. Freedom to boost everything in sight, overshoot every landing without a care, mixed with nose bonking, corner slapping and hooting your way down the trail. Sporty, but just as eager to tackle bigger terrain. The Scout's trail charisma is infectious and will cause you to look at your regular trails through a new perspective. Pedal up and repeat.⁣ ⁣ Follow the link in the profile to watch the shred video, tech video, and read more about the new Scout. ⁣ ⁣ Available NOW at your local dealer or on the website 🤘#riderowned

@yt_industries

YT launches a new kids bike called the Jeffsy Primus, interesting in the fact that this does look like a scaled-down Jeffsy, hopefully boasting the same performance of the adult bike rather than skimping for the kids. Available with 24" and 26" wheels and replicating the head angle of the adults' bike  (65. degrees) and with a steep effective seat tube angle (76.5 degrees) it's the bike we're guessing will be at the top of a lot of little shredders wish lists.

@squidworx

We've not heard about this brand here at off-road.cc before, judging by their 2018 followers on Instagram, we don't think you will have either. Ok, we know the 'gram isn't everything, but it is where we saw the news about this new flat pedal hailing from Whistler. The new modular pedal can be ordered in any custom colours you like (over 1000 colours!) and it looks like there will be a choice of size, pin length and profiles to follow too, allowing you to spec your own perfect pedal.
