When is not a wonderful week on BikeRadar? We are doing our best to bring you the biggest comments, news, and opinions every day of the week.
The past 7 days have been no exception. Highlights include the first episode of our mountain climbing diary (video below), news of new bikes from several industry-leading manufacturers, and Max Stedman’s Canyon Aeroad aerodynamic Mount Everest trial bike The details of.
In the muddy world of fat tires, we have seen (and ridden) Canyon’s latest mullet wheel Spectral CF8 CLLCTV, so far, we think this is a “ride”. We will have more in-depth reviews soon, so stay tuned.
There is also news about the new 2022 Mondraker Raze off-road vehicle, the Spanish brand claims that it combines XC speed and endurance cycling capabilities.
Rocky Mountain announced its latest 2022 Altitude and Instinct Powerplay, which may be its best electric mountain bike to date.
The new bicycle, like the upcoming bicycle, uses Rocky’s own motor system, which has a torque of 108Nm-the highest of all current mainstream electric bicycles-and is likely to be the industry’s first high-pivot electric bicycle. Wow.
Giant Bikes launched the Giant Trance X in 2022, pushing the model to the next limit with a 27.5-inch wheel version, 63.8-degree head tube angle and 145 mm rear wheel travel.
Specialized has released a new series of Riprocks mountain bikes for children, and they all look very suitable for the next batch of off-road riders.
Finally, my super in-depth review of the Santa Cruz Bronson CC MX Mullet Bike has revisited and is released this week. I claim that Bronson is a super versatile bike, and it takes some tame to make the most of it. If you are buying a super expensive Santa Cruz in the market, be sure to check this one.
Roval’s Traverse is made of aluminum — and therefore more affordable — is a version of its much more expensive Traverse SL and carbon fiber wheels.
The 30mm internal width rims are made of the brand’s E5 aluminum alloy, Roval says, which means it is strong enough to handle rock gardens in remote areas, suspicious route selections and bicycle park days.
These hubs are also connected to the rim using DT Swiss J-bend spokes and spokes. There are 28 spokes on each side of the wheel, and all the spokes on the driving and non-driving sides, as well as the front and rear, are the same length, so replacement should be easy.
Our 29-inch wheels are equipped with SRAM’s XD drive and valve stems. The front wheels weigh 924 grams and the rear wheels weigh 1,015 grams.
The price of this brand new lubricant from the bike cleaning master Muc-Off certainly fits its ridiculous nickname.
50 ml is priced at 49.99 pounds / 64.99 US dollars / 60.95 euros, we hope it can be comparable to its claim to be “the fastest racing lubricant in the world”, even if it does not, it is also one of the most expensive lubricants in the world. Silca’s super secret chain lubricant.
Muc-Off said it spent three years formulating the lubricant without added colors, fragrances and corrosion inhibitors.
This formula was improved by multiple racing teams cooperating with Muc-Off during the 2020 Grand Tour season.
The jury’s conclusion is whether its performance is as good as Muc-Off claims, or better than advanced technical writer Simon Bromley’s slow cooker chain waxing, as seen on his Giant TCR Advanced Pro 2 Disc long-term test bike As it is.

Topeak’s latest JoeBlow pump seems to make it easier to inflate tubeless tires, thanks to its TubiHead design, which has a built-in Presta valve core remover to increase airflow during tire inflation.
The TubiHead has a sealed sliding spool key, once the pump is connected to the valve, it slides on the spool, holding it in place so that it can be removed. Once removed, more air can pass through the valve to help inflate the tubeless tube.
These simple-looking cycling pants from the Swedish brand POC have convenient functions and a lot of technology, allowing you to stay warm, dry and comfortable for a long time on the saddle with changing autumn/winter weather conditions.
The calves, knees, seat and rear are made of durable three-layer waterproof material (rated 15,000 mm) and reinforced with Cordura around the seat and under the knees. The POC claims that this should help keep the rider’s legs dry on wet roads.
The thigh board and the back of the knee are made of lightweight stretch material to improve comfort and flexibility. They also have a high degree of air permeability of 30,000gsm/24 hours.
Although Power Ranger style clothing (think bright, blocky colors and eye-catching logos) is no longer popular, the tailoring, fit and comfort of the Endura MT500 have improved over the years.
The latest MT500 Burner Jersey II, Burner Pant and MT500 D30 gloves are a perfect example-although they are available in concealed black, if the blue, orange or green options do not suit your taste.
The sleeves and shoulders are made of durable and wear-resistant materials that can withstand high-intensity use, while the main body is made of perspiration and moisture wicking materials to help you keep you dry and cool, and elastic panels are cleverly placed.
Endura’s Burner Pant was developed with the help of Athertons. It is made of ultra-durable four-way stretch fabric and has a slim fit. It is very comfortable to wear while remaining flapless in the wind.
There is enough space at the knees for knee pads, and they are compatible with Endura’s Clickfast lined shorts. They are also coated with PFC-free DWR coating to help repel dirt and splashes.
MT500 D30 gloves have D30 knuckle protection, designed to help protect your hands from impact.
The glove itself is made of four-way elastic and breathable tear-proof material, and has a synthetic leather palm without padding to improve the feel of the rod.
