  • Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo 4 review: one of the best eMTBs I've tested - but it's outrageously expensive

    2 weeks ago | bikeradar.com | Robin Weaver

    Specialized’s Turbo Levo enters its fourth generation with a new motor and a completely overhauled frame. With tyres in the dirt, this ludicrously expensive S-Works model is a force to be reckoned with. The balanced suspension feel, coupled with the easy-to-tweak geometry, delivers a ride that’s simply gobsmacking. The S-Works Levo delivers confidence in spades on the descents, then gets you back up to the top of the hill as quickly as you want.

  • Why I’ve got a big problem with Strava and will never use it again

    4 weeks ago | bikeradar.com | Robin Weaver

    I don’t think I’m compatible with Strava – I’ve tried it and I didn’t like it. It’s not Strava’s fault – this is very much a me problem. As much as I’ve denied it over the years, I know I’m a competitive person. I’m not sure I want to be, but I am. That means when I flirted briefly with bagging KOMs and flexing my annoyingly competitive side, I had less fun on my bike.

  • Troy Lee Designs Skyline Chill review: MTB trousers that keep you warm but lack one useful detail

    1 month ago | bikeradar.com | Robin Weaver

    SQUIRREL_13190537The Skyline Chill trousers take the approach used in Troy Lee Designs' popular Skyline model and add some winter-focused features. Tory Lee Designs says the Skyline Chill trousers are intended for those chilly rides where protection from the cold is key. They're also designed to suit eMTB riders who want warmer trousers for autumn and early spring. The Skyline Chill trousers have an RRP of £170 / $169.

  • The DJI Avinox is the best eMTB motor I’ve ever used, but not because it’s so powerful

    1 month ago | bikeradar.com | Robin Weaver

    Riding the DJI Avinox motor is like looking into the future of electric mountain bikes. While the Amflow bike it’s bolted to might not be quite as futuristic or special as some of its competitors, the motor truly is. I’ve tested a lot of the best electric mountain bikes, right from when they first entered the market.

  • Fox Speedframe RS helmet review: a well-vented lid that tops the rankings for safety, if not comfort

    1 month ago | bikeradar.com | Robin Weaver

    We all know a helmet's primary job is to protect your head in the event of a crash. It’s impressive, then, that Fox's new Speedrame RS tops the table in Virginia Tech’s independent helmet-safety rankings. In fact, all three of the new Speedframe helmets get a full five-star rating, with the £224.99 RS and £164.99 Pro topping the table in first and second respectively, which is impressive stuff, considering they're up against some stiff competition out of the 258 lids that have been tested.
