The Eurobike 2025 trends you need to know about – eMTBs, electronic groupsets and urban mobility growth

We’re a month in to the lockdown, so how are the BikeRadar team getting on when it comes to riding? With testing having been stopped, and social distancing measures in place, riding bikes is certainly different to how it usually is, but that’s not stopped the BikeRadar guys and girls getting out on their bikes, in a sensible, safe, and guideline-following manner. From virtual group rides, to new bike builds, we’ve still got plenty going on, and more than enough to talk about! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lighter bikes are faster up hills - that's pretty much a fact. And, when the goal is to get to the top of the hill as fast as humanly possible - i.e. during a hill climb race - getting a bike as light as possible is vital. Joe and Jack, from the BikeRadar team are aficionados of the hill climb bike - over the years they've competed nationally at hill climbs, with their bikes weighing around the 5kg mark. So, how did they get their bikes quite so light? In this Tech Talk, the guys go through the different components on a bike, discussing where's best, and where not to try and lose some weight.

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.

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.
