This year is off to a bang! The last couple week’s we’ve seen a ton of pro bikes from the Tour Down Under and CX Nats, and this past week saw an increase in new product announcements. But more than anything, it gave us the chance to ride some of the biggest new products that’ll hit store shelves in the coming months. Cory had a ride aboard the 9100-series Dura-Ace Di2 and hydraulic disc brakes (with an aside about the rounded rotors for UCI), and Tyler hopped aboard the FSA WE electronic shifting system.
Norco showed off a new Sight 29er, and Allied debuted their first ride from HIA Velo. SRAM rolled out updated ROAM 50 wheels in carbon, too. We also had several reviews hit, including winter clothing and Niterider’s blinding Pro 2800, and several more first impressions. Check the full list of headlines, each one opening in a new tab, below.
