Wilde Bikes revived the iconic bullmoose bar with a twist, blending classic design with updated geometry for modern ATB and dirt-touring builds. The new Wilde Bullwinkle pairs an 800mm-wide platform with thoughtful geometry and tubing details for long days of off-road riding and loaded bikepacking.

An unreleased, aero-optimised Canyon Endurace CFR has broken cover at the Tour of Bruges, in Belgium. Spotted by Daniel Benson, the bike is being ridden by Alpecin-Premier Techs Florian Snchal and several of his teammates. The new endurance bike appears to take heavy inspiration from the German brands aero road bike, the Aeroad CFR, with truncated aerofoil tubing, dropped seatstays and an integrated cockpit. Compared to the existing Endurance CFR, this new bike is therefore far more race-optimised, with fewer obvious concessions to comfort. According to Benson, team staff confirmed this is the bike that star rider Mathieu van der Poel will race at this years Paris-Roubaix. Daniel Benson is a pro-cycling veteran, having covered 14 editions of the Tour de France as editor-in-chief of Cyclingnews and Velo, and now runs his own Substack newsletter. The Endurace goes aero Mathieu van der Poel will race this new bike at Paris-Roubaix, according to team staff at the Tour of Bruges. Daniel Benson While Canyon has long had two road-racing bikes, the Ultimate and Aeroad, the Endurace has always been a more comfort-oriented platform. That all looks set to change, however, because this bike appears to be effectively an Aeroad CFR with souped-up tyre clearance. Although we've not seen any numbers yet, a short head tube and a pro-worthy amount of saddle-to-bar drop would indicate Canyon will also be making the geometry racy. A short head tube suggests a racy geometry. Daniel Benson Just like on the Aeroad, the new Endurace looks to be made from carbon fibre and gets a full suite of truncated aerofoil tubes. A deep-bladed fork sits up front, while the seatstays are heavily dropped below the seat tube and top tube junction. It also appears that the deep-section aero seatpost from the Aeroad has been ported over to this new bike. The seat tube features a slim section below the seatstays, likely to improve comfort. Daniel Benson One area where the new bike diverges from the current Aeroad is at the seat tube, with a cut-out area beneath the seatstays. On the Aeroad, this area of the bike hugs the rear wheel more closely, for improved aerodynamic performance. Wed guess this change on the new Endurace is designed to improve rear-end comfort, because a thinner tube should flex more over rough roads. The down tube on this new bike also flares out to shield the water bottle cages from the wind. The down tube flares out just above the bottle cages. Daniel Benson The extra room around the bikes 30c Pirelli P Zero TLR RS tyres (which are wrapped around the unreleased Dura-Ace R9300 wheels we spotted at Omloop het Nieuwsblad last month) also suggests tyre clearance has been upped compared to the Aeroad. The current Endurace features 35mm of tyre clearance, compared to 32mm on the Aeroad, so it will be interesting to see if this new, racier bike lands in this regard. Given weve seen a rash of new extra-large road bike tyres from major manufacturers such as Pirelli and Continental in recent years, this could be a sign that road-race bikes are finally catching up to this trend. Pirelli, for example, offers the P Zero Race TLR RS in up to a size 35c, so we could now see van der Poel or his teammates running those at this year's Roubaix. A new cockpit The new cockpit is notably different from existing Canyon options. Daniel Benson One of the most striking features of this new bike is the integrated cockpit. It looks to have the same stem design as the Aeroad CFRs integrated cockpit, but sees the handlebar tops sweep forward dramatically, rather than straight out at a 90-degree angle. The flattened tops look to be aero-profiled, for further drag reductions, but the bar ends are notably straight. Canyon moved to offering two distinct drop shapes for its Aeroad CFR in 2024 straight and flared. If this new bar uses the same interchangeable drops, then perhaps flared drops will be an option here too. With the 'Hell of the North' right around the corner, we expect to learn more about this new bike soon. Daniel Benson As for why the bar sweeps forward, it could provide a little more compliance compared to more traditionally shaped handlebars, or it could simply be to increase knee clearance when putting out the kind of watts riders such as van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen do in a sprint. Either way, given the 2026 ParisRoubaix is a little less than two weeks away, we may not have to wait long to find out more about this new bike.

While the majority of mountain bikers opt for brakes from one of the major brands, there's an undercurrent of high-end brakes from lesser-known outfits that prove big-budget R&D departments aren't necessary. The new Kaha brakes from New Zealand brand Radic, spotted at the Taipei International Cycle Show, look like one such example. They'll certainly be a compelling choice if their performance backs up their evident build quality and good looks. Read more: Best mountain bike disc brakes 2026 top-rated MTB stoppers and our buyer's guide At the business end Stainless steel braided hoses connect lever to caliper. Tom Marvin / OurMedia The brakes are targeted towards enduro and DH riders, with four stainless steel pistons at the caliper two at 16mm and two at 17mm. The caliper is shaved of excess material, while still holding onto those large-bore pistons, which push onto a brake pad shaped the same as Hope's V4 pads replacing them should be easy. The two-piece aluminium caliper has an angle-adjustable banjo to help ensure your cable routing is smooth out of the rear brake. Oil channeling through the piston has been designed to minimise the risk of bubbles being caught during a bleed. The brake caliper holds a set of Hope V4 brake pads. Tom Marvin / OurMedia Titanium hardware is used to keep weight sensible. The calipers are designed to be user-serviceable, with the exposed inner surface of the pistons threaded to make for easier removal. The brakes can use mineral or DOT fluids, depending on your preference a swap of seals is all you need in order to run either fluid. Moving forward The caliper has had all unnecessary material removed. Tom Marvin / OurMedia A braided stainless steel hose connects the caliper to the lever in a nod to the motorsport manufacturing past of Radic's engineer. In theory, this should swell less when high pressures are applied. At the lever end, things remain incredibly pretty and well thought-out. As per Shimano, the lever body received additional anti-flex support. Tom Marvin / OurMedia Shared with Shimano's brakes, the lever body has an additional support that pushes on the bar when the lever is squeezed, minimising any flex in the lever body. The lever blade is fairly long, with a tight hook at the end to ensure your finger stays in place. Lever reach and bite-point adjustments are offered, while the lever blade itself pivots on bearings. The bite-point adjust wheel is held snugly in the body of the lever, but it's still adjustable with your fingers. Tom Marvin / OurMedia All in, the lever has a very smooth and light feel, along with a short lever throw before the pads bite on the disc. The brakes are listed at NZ$1200, which works out at just over 500 in the UK.
