Review: Short-travel enduro Spectral 125 is Canyon’s most fun mountain bike in our first rides!

To be fair, calling the new Canyon Spectral 125 a short-travel enduro bike feels a bit like clickbait. But bear with me. Canyon says it’s a shorter all-mountain trail bike, maybe even enduro-ready.

Starling Cycles prototype a Carbon eMTB with braided thermoplastic tubes

To be clear, this is not a rideable prototype, and that’s not just because it doesn’t have a chain or a set of brakes. The Starling Cycles prototype Carbon eMTB is an exercise in R&D, developed with composites engineers at the National Composites Centre (NCC). The aim? To develop a new high volume, low cost,
