DJI's latest firmware update brings 1,000W of peak power to the Auto, Trail and Turbo modes of its Avinox motor, plus boost mode adjustments and other customisations.

Redshift ShockStop stem review: loads of fit options and excellent comfort, but adjustment isn't as easy as the competition

2 weeks ago | bikeradar.com | Warren Rossiter

SQUIRREL_13203063Redshift’s ShockStop is impressively stiff laterally, while still being highly active in squashing road vibration and gravel chatter. Fitting the stem is as simple as a standard stem. However, tuning the stem to suit your riding style and weight is a little more involved than the USE Vybe GR review – its key competitor – because it requires removing the bar and faceplate.

Oakley Velo Kato review: brilliant sunglasses if you can accept this one ridiculous feature | BikeRadar

2 weeks ago | bikeradar.com | Stan Portus

SQUIRREL_13188996Recently, I had a realisation about Oakley: it’s going to try things and produce sunglasses that make little sense, because it can. It happened at an Oakley press day where there were classics – including the famous Jawbreakers and Radars – lurking in the huge showroom hidden on the second floor of a Kensington tower block, alongside some of the wilder designs, which you’re more likely to see on Ssense than Sigma Sports. If you’re into Oakley eyewear, you’ll already know this.

2 weeks ago | bikeradar.com | Finlay Anderson

Whether you ride road, gravel or mountain bikes, a comfortable pair of cargo bib shorts will make the difference between a comfy undercarriage and a sore day in the saddle, while also giving you space to stash your essentials. Combining an elasticated bib (the upper, dungaree-like section) with elastane (aka Lycra/spandex) shorts containing a stitched-in ‘chamois’ pad, they offer crucial cushioning and relief from saddle pressure and trail vibrations.
