    Pirelli has launched the Cinturato Evo TLR, a new all-season, all-road tyre available in 45, 50 and enormous 55mm sizes. With more regular widths (28, 30, 32, 35 and 40mm) also available, the Cinturato Evo TLR is arguably the most all-encompassing road bike tyre ever put on sale. Pirelli says you’ll be able to buy the three largest sizes in the summer, but the smaller sizes are available from today. These cost £74.99 / $92.90 / €79.90 in all sizes and sidewall variants.

    It’s been a hot time for new bike computer launches lately, but we’re still awaiting new Garmin Edge 850 and 550 models – the GPS giant’s smaller-sized computers would replace the Edge 840 and 540. First came the Garmin Edge 1050 in summer 2024, followed by Wahoo’s latest flagship unit, the Elemnt Ace, in December 2024.

    The Colnago V5Rs has launched as the successor to the brand’s most successful race bike ever. Of course, you could (rightly, in my view) argue that Tadej Pogačar and his UAE Team Emirates XRG teammates are the main reason for the success of the V4Rs. However, the old bike is certainly a hard act to follow – it made our 2023 Bike of the Year shortlist, in a particularly strong year for the race bike category.

    Wahoo has launched the Trackr Radar – the brand’s first rear view vehicle detection system. In a similar vein to Garmin’s Varia radar products, it’s designed to pair with the brand’s own bike computers – although Wahoo says it will also work with “other compatible Bluetooth or ANT+ bike computers."Wahoo has yet to confirm an on-sale date, but says the unit will cost £179.99 / $199.99 / €199.99/ AU$349.95 when it does become available.

    Specialized has updated its road tyre line-up for 2025, claiming the new tyres are faster, grippier and more puncture-resistant than ever before, with the RapidAir TLR billed as the lightest production tubeless road tyre in the world. The new RapidAir TLR tops the line-up as a dedicated race tyre, with an updated S-Works Turbo TLR replacing the S-Works Turbo 2BR.
