    • June 26, 2025

    Here we go again, less than 24 hours since the last DJi-powered e-bike dropped and we have another one rolling out the factory. This time it’s Orange’s turn to get…

    • June 24, 2025

    Commencal Meta Power SX DJI

    • June 24, 2025

    Well, we all knew more brands would team up with DJI this summer, but who had their money on Commencal? That’s right, the racing brand from Andorra is the next…

    Fox Podium inverted fork

    Fox’s inverted Podium fork is heavy, expensive, and a faff to live with, but it’s the best enduro fork I’ve ridden

    Fox’s new upside-down Podium fork isn’t pioneering – countless brands have tried inverted forks in the past. And it’s not even particularly eye-catching, particularly compared to the likes of Intend’s…

    95kph?! Mountain bike Olympic champion, Tom Pidcock, rides downhill at ludicrous speed… on skinny tyres

    • June 20, 2025

    Whyte Kado RSX

    I’ve tested all Whyte’s e-bikes, and the new Kado offers the best blend of power, performance and range… I still find the scintillating E-Lyte more fun to ride though

    Endura MT500 jacket 2025

    Endura’s latest MT500 waterproof jacket is lighter and easier to move in than the original, but the latest regulations mean it’s just not as good at shedding water
