Another in the round of custom Cape Epic XC bikes, is this Buff-Megamo Team replica Megamo Track. I don’t believe we’ve ever covered Girona-based Mégamo bikes before. Although I’ve occasionally seen them around the European XC Marathon circuit over the last few years. This latest Track XC bike even popped up in the PR of Fulcrum’s latest Red Zone Carbon+ cross-country racing wheels last fall. Now the Buff-Megamo men have ridden to a first-stage Cape Epic win on this limited edition bike you can actually buy now through their dealers… if one is close to you. What kind of bike is the Megamo Tra ..read more

The season-opening Cape Epic kicked off marathon cross-country racing over the weekend, and we’re suckers for the custom XC bikes that the 2-person duos show up on.

21h ago
Triton Bikes, which broke out of Russia shortly after the Ukraine invasion started, has just unveiled their first all-new model built in their new factory in Portugal. The Triton Aveiro 3D gravel bike is a departure from their usual CNC-heavy methods. Their Groont gravel bike uses machined yoke, dropouts, and rear brake mount. This new Aveiro has 3D-printed 6/4 titanium dropouts and chainstay yoke from Spain, then seamlessly welded with 3/2.5 tubes into a complete titanium bike. “The name comes from the region where these bikes are manufactured,” says co-founder Dmitry Nechaev. “We are new p ..read more

More coverage than their popular Forefront 2, Smith’s new lightweight Payroll mountain bike helmet adds extra protection into an all-mountain lid powered by Koroyd inside, and an optional Aleck crash detection sensor.

SRAM Wireless Blips Can Now be Paired w/o Shifters

3d ago
With the latest update to their AXS smartphone app, the SRAM Wireless Blips can now be paired to your derailleurs without needing a separate primary shifter on the bike. Previously, the Wireless Blips could only be added to a bike that had either a standard shifter lever (road) or paddle/pod (MTB), or their BlipBox (triathlon/TT). Now, the app will recognize the Wireless Blip buttons on their own, and the only other component required is an AXS rear derailleur to serve as the “parent” component. This opens up easier customization of shifter layouts, particularly for triathlon and TT bikes th ..read more

Revel’s Rail 29 enduro bike stretches out in 2024 with more travel, slacker geo, fresh looks
Bike Rumor

Revel updates their popular carbon Rail 29er enduro bike for a new year of riding with longer travel forks that slacken the bike out even further, while letting riders shred just a bit harder. Based on a combination of seeing their own employees and customers out on the trail with longer-travel forks, Revel decided to up the standard spec to 170mm paired to the Rail 29 frame’s 155mm. And to finish off the new 2024 bikes with some extra flair, they’ve added new black and blue paint options. We’re hoping not to color-coordinate with extra bruises from extra sending of the bigger 2024 Revel Rail ..read more

You’d be forgiven if you thought these flashy new Fizik Venta Proxy cyclocross, gravel & XC racing shoes were a new top-of-the-line for the Italian cycling shoemaker. Striking out from the sea of drab earth tones and unexciting blacks & whites, these new Proxies are unabashedly outspoken. Screaming to be looked at and raced off-road. But with a slightly simplified upper construction and slightly less-stiff sole to tackle run-ups, they are actually around 20% cheaper than Fizik’s Ferox… Fizik Venta Proxy simple but flashy off-road racing shoes (Photos/Fizik) I’m all for some flashy rac ..read more
