Specialized Aethos 2, next-gen Shimano pedals leaked, UCI cost caps and more…

In this week’s BikeRadar news podcast, Jack Luke is once again joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss the latest hot stories in bike tech. We kick things off with a Shimano leak that suggests the Japanese brand may be working on a set of power meter pedals for its next generation road groupsets. Next, we move on to the new Specialized Aethos 2, which has been updated to include full integrated cable routing, wider tyre clearance and a less aggressive geometry. It’s also as light and expensive as ever, of course. We also discuss Tadej Pogačar’s tricked-out Colnago Y1Rs from the Rwanda world championships, and speculate why the Slovenian rider switched to Continental’s new Archetype tyres for this race. Finally, instead of ending with a ‘rant of the week’, Simon and Jack give a rare shoutout to the UCI for its recently announced cost cap for track cycling bikes and equipment, which will be introduced ahead of the Los Angeles Olympics Games in 2028. I've spotted an unreleased Shimano pedal system – and it looks like the product we've been waiting … The Aethos 2 is the lightest production bike Specialized has ever made at 5.98kg UCI announces price caps for 2028 Olympic track bikes and equipment Tadej Pogačar's tricked-out Colnago Y1Rs for the Rwanda World Championships – new tyres, custom whe… Learn more about your ad choices.

What's the deal with hookless rims? Making sense of road tubeless

What's the deal with hookless rims? Making sense of road tubeless

Hookless rims are fairly new in road cycling, but what are they, and where have they come from? They’ve also proved fairly controversial, as without a fully recognised standard measurement for hookless, and in the wider sense, road tubeless, many rim and tyre manufacturers are stating only limited compatibility between brands. Simon, Matthew and Jack delve in to the subject in our latest podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bike Shorts 11 | Shimano’s SPD sandals and other fashion faux-pas

Shimano have just bought back their legendary SPD sandal in a 25th anniversary limited edition, and you’ll not be surprised to hear that Jack Luke was aghast with excitement at this news!

What can we all learn from each other?

What can we all learn from each other?

Road cyclists and mountain bikers occupy very different worlds – from skids and jumps to Strava KOMs and Wattage data. But there’s plenty of common ground between us all (and we’re not even mentioning gravel cycling!). So, what can roadies learn from their dirt-covered cousins, and vice versa?
