Gravel riding and racing is as popular as it’s ever been and is still growing as a racing discipline for professionals and amateurs alike. The last few years of gravel bikes and equipment have seen mostly modest and linear changes. Not long ago, 40 to 42mm gravel tires seemed perfectly fine for racing. Heck, I rode the 200-mile distance at Unbound on 42 and 38mm tires front and rear just three years ago. But in the past year, the preferred tire size for gravel racing has ballooned dramatically.

There is this important and often overlooked category that fills the space between dedicated road and gravel bikes, most often called all-road or endurance. But other names for this group pop up or are proposed by brands’ marketing teams every few years.

In cycling lore, a quote attributed to Eddy Merckx has been around for ages. It goes something like, “Don’t buy upgrades, ride up grades.” Feel free to bust that out if you ever feel like killing the mood of someone happily telling you about their new bike.

As a former racer, I’ll admit to having spent too time thinking about upgrading my bike.

Riding with a power meter is a great way to generate a lot of data. Understanding and analyzing that data can help you compare your performance from ride to ride, asses the physiological impact of your workout to better know where you are in terms of your overall fitness, and to help you better understand when you are ready to perform or when you need to take a rest.

Colnago has been on a roll in 2025. After launching the wild and weird Y1Rs aero bike, the iconic Italian brand has unveiled its updated all-around race bike, the V5Rs. As the name suggests, this is the fifth version of Colnago’s take on the do-everything, light-weight, aero-optimized, race bike. At first glance, the new bike is very similar to its previous version, so much so that you would be forgiven for not being able to pick the two models apart immediately.
