The redesigned Grail CF SL 7 is built using Canyon's SL carbon fiber frame. The full carbon frame can be had in two different layups: the CF SL that we have here and the even lighter CFR. A 71.5-degree headtube and a 73.5-degree seat tube don't break any molds but give the bike a racy yet comfortable disposition. The carbon frame employs some aero tube forms to keep it quick, while triple bottle cage mounts, top tube mounts, and strapless bag compatibility keep it versatile.

Velotric makes a number of electric bikes and is no stranger to the needs of the modern commuter. The Discover 1 uses a 500W motor and a larger battery, giving it slower acceleration but more range. W-shaped sparrow handlebars and an adjustable stem give the rider an upright position, while a low step-through makes this bike easy to get on and off of. A downtube-mounted, lockable 691Wh battery is unobtrusive and easily removable.

The UREVO Strol 1 Pro Foldable Treadmill is a clever combination of useful and easy-to-store. Testers liked the UREVO 2 in 1 more than we thought we would, and the Strol 1 Pro takes that practicality and adds some features and versatility. The big difference between these two treadmills is the incline feature on the Strol 1 Pro, which allows you to adjust the pitch and work different muscle groups. Since the treadmill measures only 5.7" thick when folded flat, it can be stored easily.
