The world of motocross is heating up fast for 2026. With the big boys already showing their cards—Yamaha’s latest YZ450F being one of the first out of the gate—it’s clear we’re in for a year of fierce updates and fresh metal. Brands are racing not just on track, but in the showroom too, as the chase for market share and brand loyalty ramps up. Among them is Beta.
This Electric Mountain Bike Has Too Much Horsepower, and It’s Totally Badass

3 days ago | rideapart.com | Enrico Punsalang

I’ve been a cyclist for as long as I can remember. Back in the '90s and early 2000s, I was that kid who couldn’t stop thinking about mountain bikes. Magazines, bike shops, tinkering with parts in the garage—it was an obsession. Heck, I even got bullied in school for it. Nevertheless, as the years went on, I felt like I was growing up alongside all that bike tech. From rigid frames to full suspension, rim brakes to hydraulic discs, 3x drivetrains to 1x setups—it all evolved before my very eyes. Now?
Shoei’s Upcoming Retro Helmet Looks Dope, Let’s Hope It Gets Sold Outside Japan

Photo by: shoei Let’s be honest. Retro isn’t just back, it’s cooler now than ever. And it’s not just the bikes. The gear is riding that same wave. From leather jackets to lace-up boots, riders are turning back the clock in style. Helmets, too, have become more than just protection. These days, they’re statements. Part safety device, part fashion accessory. They show off who you are even before you throw a leg over the bike.

In the world of high-performance motorcycles, few names carry as much weight as Brembo. Whether you’re a track addict, canyon-carving squid, or just flexing on your buddies at your local Cars and Coffee, chances are, if your ride (whether on two or four wheels) has serious stopping power, it’s got Brembo on it. Born in Italy but revered globally, Brembo has become the benchmark for pretty much all braking systems.
This New Electric Scooter From Spain Just Makes Sense

Electric scooters used to be the quirky outliers. Too quiet, too slow, too meh. Now? They’re as much a part of the European cityscape as cobblestones and cafe umbrellas. Urban policy has shifted hard in their favor: tax breaks, low-emission zones, and EV-only streets have turned once-skeptical riders into full-blown converts. These days, brands like NIU, Silence, and GOVECS dominate the rental fleets and daily commutes.
Yamaha Somehow Managed To Make Its Badass Big Dirt Bike Even Better

5 days ago | rideapart.com | Enrico Punsalang

Among Japan’s Big Four motorcycle manufacturers, Yamaha has always had a bit of a rebellious streak. While others refine, Yamaha reinvents. From wild concepts to real-world performance bikes, the brand seems to be having the most fun in the lab—and it shows. And before anyone accuses me of bias, I’m totally not speaking as someone with a garage full of Yamahas (MT-07, MT-10, XSR900, PG-1, and a Fazzio, thank you very much). Nope. Not sponsored. Just stating the facts.
This Crazy New Two-Stroke Engine Claims It Can Do It All, But Can It Really?

Detroit’s had its fair share of comebacks, but this one might just be the wildest one yet. Meet the REV Force: a two-stroke, twin-cylinder, supercharged, direct-injected, flex-fuel internal combustion engine with claims so bold they make even Elon Musk’s Twitter (yes, I still call it Twitter. Fight me) feed sound tame.
Norton’s “Electra” Trademark In India Might Spark a Small Bike Renaissance

5 days ago | rideapart.com | Enrico Punsalang

Norton is one of those motorcycle names that carries serious weight. It’s up there with Triumph, BSA, and Vincent—brands that shaped the golden age of British motorcycling. Born in 1898, Norton was a racing legend, winning the Isle of Man TT a jaw-dropping 94 times and building icons like the Commando and the Manx. For decades, the brand stood for speed, style, and British engineering at its finest. But not all legends age gracefully. Norton hit some serious turbulence in the 21st century.
Dainese and AGV Made Ultra Fancy Gear for This Ultra Fancy Superbike

5 days ago | rideapart.com | Enrico Punsalang

A day or so ago, RideApart executive editor Jonathon Klein went full nerd on the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago in a story which you should definitely check out. But now let’s talk about the stuff that comes with the bike, because in true Italian fashion, MV didn’t just stop at building a ridiculously beautiful machine that costs around $80,000. They had to throw in some equally outrageous gear, just to make sure your garage flex was complete. And first up is the Dainese Demone GP 3X leather suit.
Ukraine’s Special Forces Are Using This Cheap Chinese Dual-Sport For Combat

Photo by: Skala 425 Look, I might be a little biased here—but motorcycles are the most versatile machines on the planet. Name something else that can zigzag through city traffic, bomb down fire roads, and apparently… be used in a war. They’re fast, fun, practical, and wildly capable. And if you ever needed proof, the Ukrainian Skala 425 Regiment is more than happy to provide it.
