DESIGNED WITH ONE GOAL: WIN RACESWords by Cole Gregg  |  Photos by Boris BeyerMay 6, 2025The Canyon Sender CFR has been floating around the World Cup circuit for years now, with development starting in 2021 for this third iteration. The new Sender hones in on what a downhill race bike really is. Designed to be as fast as possible, Canyon is clear that this bike was designed with one goal: winning races. The Sender isn’t trying to be everything to everyone.

The Last Of The Cool SheitApril 14, 2025That’s a wrap on Sea Otter Classic 2025. Monterey provided some solid weather, and our beloved cycling industry provided the good times and fun and exciting products for us to check out. Let’s dive in to the last of what we saw at the show. Bronson Moore of Be More Bikes, doing what he does. Out of the box thinking doesn’t result in products that will suit everyone, but we respect his adventurous nature.

Even More Cool SheitApril 13, 2025Even more cool products we saw from the cycling industry during day 3 of the 2025 Sea Otter Classic. Hard to pick out a favorite, from those sweet looking new Giro shoes to the crazy artwork on that Zink bike and everything in between. The sun was shining and there were plenty of smiles to keep us going as we cruised around the pits. Giro’s new Chamber III shoes are looking awesome.

More Cool SheitApril 12, 2025Day 2 of Sea Otter Classic 2025 was another good one, catching up with friends across the industry and seeing some of the hottest new bikes and gear. General feelings of optimism rose above yet more uncertainty, and everyone is stoked for their time on bikes in the upcoming northern hemisphere summer. Belts everywhere. Really feeling some momentum from the belt drive world this year. Interested to see how it keeps growing. New butt perches from WTB are looking neat.
