Bike Shorts 06 | Paris-Roubaix – the weird and wonderful
The infamous cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix have led many teams and riders to experiment wildly throughout the races long history, but we’ve also seen plenty of winners riding relatively normal bikes too. With the 2020 edition sadly cancelled, Jack and Simon discuss some of the weird and wonderful bikes used to try and tame the Pavé over the years, which ones are their favourites and the lengths the pro’s and manufacturers will apparently go to avoid simply running wider tyres.

Trail and Enduro Bike of the Year Special
After a full winter of wet and muddy testing, and then a week thrashing the top-contenders in Spain with BlackTown Trails, we’ve crowned our Trail Bike of the Year, and Enduro Bike of the Year. With MBUK in the shops and BikeRadar rolling out the reviews online and on YouTube, we thought we’d bring together Rob Weaver, Tom Marvin and Luke Marshall, who put the entire test together, to discuss the process, the bikes and the eventual winners.

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’? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
