UAE Team Emirates have a trick up their sleeves to light up the Tour de France, and it's not Tadej Pogacar. In fact, it's his teammate Isaac del Toro who has been backed to animate the race and even take some pressure off the Slovenian. With Pogacar the favourite to win his fifth yellow jersey, his...

Lezyne just announced a brand-new model in its already large range of bike lights, the Road Drive 500. With a unique rectangular shape and slim profile, its meant to integrate cleanly and seamlessly into modern road bike cockpits. And with a max output of 500 lumens and an eye-catching, disruptive flash mode, its designed to help you be seen in the daytime and/or see your way after the sun goes down.Road Drive 500 DetailsLezynes new Road Drive 500 light is made specifically for road riding, with a unique shape and appearance that the brand says is intended to blend into modern cockpit setups. With rectangular dimensions the size of a credit card (54.2mm wide x 86.6mm long) and a thickness of just 12mm (17.6mm including the quarter-turn mount), this slim, sleek light is meant to be more aerodynamic than blockier competitors.With an integrated, low-profile quarter-turn mount, the Road Drive 500 attaches cleanly and very closely to the underside of compatible out-front computer mounts. And, depending on the computer, it may even be completely hidden from the riders view beneath it. It also comes with a GoPro-style mount that can be installed in place of the quarter-turn mount to accommodate varying setups.Similar to Lezynes other front lights, the Road Drive 500 has a CNC-machined aluminum body for durability, impact resistance, and a somewhat industrial appearance. Across the front of the light are two powerful little LEDs and a lens that provides a road-optimized beam angle and pattern. Those two LEDs can put out a max of 500 lumens (day flash) or 400 lumens continuously (blast mode). It has three continuous modes and three flash modes to choose from, see the chart below.The Road Drive 50 is powered by a rechargeable 1100mAh battery. According to Lezyne, thats capable of up to 90 minutes of run time at 400 lumens continuous, and a very impressive 55 hours in the 500 lumen daytime flash mode. Recharging is done via USB-C (cable not included). For those embarking on seriously long adventures, it is also compatible with Lezynes Infinite Light Power Pack XL+. The brand also states that it has been rigorously tested and is rated IPX7 for waterproofness.Road Drive 500 SpecsMax Lumens: 500Max Runtime: 55 hoursBattery Capacity (mAh): 1100 (replaceable)Recharge Type: USB-CMaterial: AluminumWeight: 75gDimensions: 86.6mm, 54.2mm, 17.6mmFeatures: IPX7, Daytime Flash, Infinite Light Power Pack XL+ compatibleNew Lezyne Flexi MountsThe Road Drive 500 does not come with a handlebar mount, but Lezyne sells them separately and is introducing two new options. The Flexi Forward and Flexi Aero mounts are both made from CNC-machined aluminum and are two-sided quarter-turn mounts that are compatible with Garmin and Wahoo computers. The Flexi Forward mount is designed to clamp around standard, round handlebars, while the Flexi Aero is made for integrated cockpits with two-bolt computer mount interfaces. These new mounts are not listed on the Lezyne website yet, but we expect they should be available soon.Lezyne Road Drive 500: Pricing and AvailabilityLeynes new slim, aerodynamic Road Drive 500 front light retails for $60 and is available now.

Jonas Abrahamsen heads into the 2026 Tour de France with ambitions of repeating last year's stage victory after a much smoother build-up than the one in 2025. After recovering from a broken collarbone just in time for last year's Tour, the Norwegian believes he is in an even better position to targe...

Cane Creek is currently selling an extremely limited run of a colorway you will not see again. Until they sell out, riders can purchase Cane Creeks Invert Gravel Fork in Flamingo. Why pink, you ask? For starters, pink is awesome, but apparently, the public also voted on a special-edition colorway, and Flamingo is what they chose. This limited run originally included the eeWings titanium cranks, too, but they sold out in just a week! So, if you were among the folks who voted for Flamingo pink eeWings and Invert forks, now is the time. Cane Creek says that when they are gone, they are gone. Given that the Flamingo eeWings have already sold out, you wont be able to color-match your fork and cranks, but you can still pick up the Invert Flamingo while supplies last.Flamingo Facts:Flamingos eat upside down same way our fork eats gravelFlamingos stand on one leg to conserve energy and reduce muscle fatigue (also a great reason to add suspension to your gravel bike)Flamingos thrive in some of the harshest conditions on earthFlamingos share parenting dutiesA group of Flamingos is called a flamboyanceInvert Gravel ForkCane Creeks Invert Gravel Fork is unique in the gravel suspension market with its inverted design. This fork has been on the market for a couple of years and has been generally well-received. Its lightweight, and the inverted design gives it a sleek appearance that barely even gives away the fact that its a suspension fork. Paint it Flamingo pink, however, and the Invert will certainly draw some more attention.The Invert Flamingo is available with 30mm or 40mm of travel, and it retails for $1,199.99. Its available now until it sells out, and then its gone for good. Given that the Flamingo eeWings sold out in a week, it seems like youd better act fast if you want a piece of this hot pink action.canecreek.comThe post Cane Creeks Invert Gravel Fork is Available in Flamingo Pink While Supplies Last appeared first on Bikerumor.
