Jack, Alex and Rob sit down to discuss the various (and arguably, most common) mountain bike race formats, what they entail, why they’re great and what type of bike and gear you’ll need should you ever wish to compete in one. The guys cover off cross-country, downhill, enduro and four cross, talking through how the races work and how they differ and, with some of their own experiences thrown into the mix, what you might expect if you do decide to get between the tapes.

Simon von Bromley, Warren Rossiter and Jack Luke discuss Warren’s recently published review of the latest Ultegra R8170 Di2 groupset. Performance is said to be “indiscernible from its pro-level sibling”, so is there any reason to spend the extra money on Dura-Ace? Is the best high-end road groupset available right now, and, if so, what (if anything) do other manufacturers need to do to catch up? These questions answered, and more, in this edition of the BikeRadar podcast. If you’d like to read Warren’s review of Shimano Ultegra R8170 Di2, you can do so on www.bikeradar.com. Hosted on Acast.
