Hunt has become renowned for bringing high-end performance to accessible prices in the UK and far beyond, and with its new Proven Carbon Enduro H_Core wheelset, the brand hasn't only done that, but also it's claimed to boast serious strength. To do so, it introduces fresh technologies for the brand, such as H_Core and a new H_Ratchet XL freehub. Here's everything you need to know...

Stif Mountain Bikes, the legendary Bristol and Yorkshire-based bike shop and bike brand known for its radical hardtail mountain bikes, has announced that it'll be closing its doors for good in September after 41 years in business. 

With SRAM taking the baton and disappearing down the road, AXS T-Type kit in hand, the dust seemed to have settled after the wireless drivetrain arms race. That is, until now. Today, Shimano has re-entered the game with a new XTR Di2 drivetrain, and unlike Di2 options of old, there's not a wire to be seen. Not only is there new shifting, but the brand has also updated its brakes and brought fresh hoops to the market.

Best known for its footwear, Ride Concepts has expanded into the helmet game with two models, the Dissent and the Deploy. Both are open-face helmets, but each gets its own design intention, with the former being built for enduro, all-mountain, and gravity riding, and the latter targeting trail and cross-country riders.

Perhaps the biggest news of last weekend's Bielsko-Biala leg of the UCI Downhill World Cup is Tahnee Seagrave's win on a covered Orbea (which was later uncovered on the podium). While the new downhill bike made headlines and caught the attention of riders everywhere, it's now been unveiled as Orbea's new Rallon, and it's actually not just a downhill bike... because thanks to its huge amounts of adjustability, it's also the Basque brand's new enduro bike too.

Motorsport and mountain biking seem to be a duo that fall hand in hand fairly often, with bikes like Mondraker's Gulf-themed NEAT and brands like Ohlins and HEL joining the party. Andi Sykes is yet another to combine the two with his freshly painted, Alfa Romeo-themed Privateer 161, dripping with kit from motorsport brands.

Gravel demands an awful lot from its tyres. Gravel tyres must be light and fast, but due to the ever-changing conditions of off-road riding, they need to be strong enough to cope with the worst. With its revamped Connector range, Goodyear aims to hit those three points. Here's everything you need to know.

Suspension forks have been a huge talking point in gravel over the last few weeks, and kicking off the fresh round of debate is Canyon with its teased and rumoured suspension-forked equipped Grail spotted at the Traka and Gralloch. And it's not taken long for the brand to pull the covers off the Grail Rift Edition, a new-spec gravel bike with that secret suspension fork designed in collaboration with DT Swiss. Here's everything we know.

Over the past few years, Rapha has slowly but surely been expanding its mountain bike-specific ranges, and with great success. Now, the brand has added more, but this time, it has introduced a whole new clothing lineup. Dubbed Finale, named after Finale Ligure, it's designed to cope with the rigours of professional gravity riding, so that's downhill and enduro to you and me.

The Occam has made a name for itself in Orbea's mountain bike range as its most versatile trail bike, and for 2025, the brand has given it quite the overhaul. Perhaps inspired by the recent Rallon, it now gets more adjustability and more options in a bid to boost its capability and adaptability. Here's everything you need to know.
