New tyre bonanza! Rad mountain bikes! Fancy lube! BikeRadar news round-up
In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Jack Luke, Tom Law and Simon von Bromley look back at the biggest cycling tech news from the last oh-so-busy few weeks. Among a deluge of other news, we’ve seen no fewer than three headline road bike tyre launches from Pirelli, Specialized and Vittoria. Resident tyre nerd Simon gives us the lowdown on everything we need to know about these sweet new treads. CeramicSpeed has also released a new super-fancy lube designed for super-long rides in super-bad weather (just in time for summer in the Northern Hemisphere). The trio discuss this new slippery ointment – or, more accurately, listen to Simon extol the virtues of immersion waxing for the zillionth time. Finally, Tom tries to explain what makes the Forbidden Druid trail bike interesting to Jack and Simon – a pair of smooth-brained roadies who don’t know an idler pivot from a kickback.
