March 16, 2020 Road Tech Talk | Have we reached ‘peak bike’?
We’ve had great leaps in bike tech over the years that have greatly improved our road bikes – frame materials, compact geometry, electronic groupsets and disc brakes, amongst others. But where will things go next – is there another round of vast improvements yet to come, or have we, as we suspect, reached ‘peak bike’?

March 09, 2020 What’s the hardest mountain bike discipline?
Between the team at BikeRadar, we reckon we’ve raced pretty much every mountain bike race format going. But, what’s the toughest type of mountain bike racing you can do?

MBUK’s Luke Marshall has raced at World Cup DH level, while Seb Stott has competed in a number of EWS events. They, along with Tom, who’s targeted the more niche end of racing, weigh in with their race-based experience.

March 02, 2020 BikeRadar Meets | Wind Tunnel Testing at the Boardman Performance Centre
In the autumn we headed to the Boardman Performance Centre, where they’ve built a bike-specific wind tunnel, that’s open to the public. We wanted to find free and cheap ways to cut our time in a 100 mile sportive, using the data provided by the wind tunnel. After our time there, we sat down with Barney Wainright, Head of Science to talk through our results. We then spent some time with Lee, the centre’s Lead Physiologist, discussing training and fitness testing.

February 24, 2020 Have gravel bikes made Cyclocross better?
Though appearing niche from the outside, cyclocross (or CX) is enjoying a resurgence in the UK, with races attracting ever increasing numbers of participants. Warren Rossiter and Robin Wilmott talk us through this resurgence, and the impact of the burgeoning gravel scene on the CX bikes we’ve seen released in recent years – namely, the gravel bike replacing the CX bike as the ‘ideal’ commuter bike, thus allowing CX bikes to return to their racing roots.

February 10, 2020 The things bike companies still get wrong
Bike companies, in general, do a great job when it comes to designing bikes, but Tom and Seb can’t help but think there are a few too many details that they keep getting wrong…

January 27, 2020 What is the hardest race in the world?
Road racing is as brutal as it comes – hard men and women pit pure strength against one and another in a bid to reach the finish line ahead of the pack. But with racing covering everything from 200m sprints to races across continents, we decided to weigh in and discuss which drop-bar race format is the hardest in the world.
