The latest news from Revelate and Corvus is a bit of a 2-for-1 special. The brands shared a booth at Sea Otter complete with the new Corvus Akio decked out with the latest Revelate Bags. But Revelate was also showing a prototype of the new Pitchfork Aerobar Harness which was delayed until this week. Calling it an Aerobar Harness System, the Pitchfork is a perfect way to add handlebar bag capabilities to a bike with aerobars without losing any functionality of the bars. This is perfect for ultra-racing events where positioning is just as important as storage space that is quickly accessible. The Pitchfork is a two-part design with a harness and a 6L drybag that slides into the harness. The harness itself has 1L pockets on each side that are stretchy and easy to access while riding. Theres also a top-mounted bungee system for quick stowage of clothing layers, snacks, etc. Revelate states that adjustable hypalon slots allow for different bar spacings and accommodation of multiple setups. The Pitchfork will be available soon for $160. On the new Akio, Revelate had a few new products including these pannier prototypes. The idea here is that you mount soft bag harnesses to your rack, and then removable dry bags are loaded inside. The resulting system is still lightweight, and allows for much easier access to your gear. The drybags feature a custom fabric with a white interior for easy location of your gear inside, and will be offered in three sizes. The outer cradles utilize a urethane hook with rubber straps for rattle-free installation. Up front, the first production samples of their new Cargo Cage were mounted to the fork. These feature replaceable TPU pads, a removable foot, and keyed mounts so you dont have to fully remove the bolts to install. We were told to expect these around the end of June. New Corvus AkioNow about that fat bike all those accessories are hung on the new 2025 Corvus Akio. First introduced as the first carbon bike after Fatback rebranded as Corvus Cycles, the new Akio has been in the works for four years. The bike includes some big changes, including being one of the first fat bikes were aware of with internal storage. Designed around 27.5 x 4.3-4.5 wheels and tires, the bike features an updated geometry with a more sit in feel, and is based around a 485mm axle to crown with a 55mm offset fork. Making the most of the wide carbon downtube that flows into the bottom bracket area, Corvus added an access hatch on the bottom of the downtube. Why the bottom? Corvus is a big fan of frame bags (the frame now features a straight top tube to fit bigger bags), to the point that each Akio bike will include a Revelate frame bag with complete builds. Fat biking requires a number of layers to adjust to changing weather and personal heat output, and frame bags are the perfect place to stash them when not needed among other necessities. Placing the access hatch on the bottom of the tube means its still accessible with a frame bag installed, and the hatch makes a perfect place to store a spare fat bike tube. Other details include the first production carbon portage handle to help lift the bike over obstacles and 197 x 12mm rear spacing with aggressively flared chainstays for heel clearance. The frame features fully sleeved internal cable routing with native 180mm rotors, and is claimed to weigh in at 25 lbs with a SRAM GX build with dropper post. The new Akio will first be available in 16, 18, and 20 frames this fall, with a 22 frame coming the following year. Pricing is expected to start at $4,400 for a complete build. corvuscycles.comThe post Revelate Packs Pitchfork Aerobar Harness, Plus New Corvus Akio w/ Internal Storage & Pannier Prototypes appeared first on Bikerumor.

CyclistPro Log: Miguel ngel Lpez given four-year ban, Anna Shackley steps in Sports Director role after forced retirement, Unbound Gravel results and Olympics selectionsWelcome back to another edition of Pro Log. Were at that pivotal point of the pro season between the Giro dItalia and Tour de France, which means its time for the Critrium du Dauphin. The week-long stage race got underway yesterday, with Denmarks Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) winning the first stage around Saint-Pourain-sur-Sioule. His time in the yellow jersey would be short-lived, however. On a challenging Stage 2 route that finished on the 1,251m Col de la Loge, Pedersen would be dropped to the tune of four minutes, with countryman Magnus Cort Nielsen (Uno-X) winning in the mist to take over the race lead, four seconds ahead of Primo Rogli (Bora-Hansgrohe).Results powered by FirstCycling.com Related Posts British rising star Anna Shackley forced to retire from professional cycling at 22 years old Critrium du Dauphin 2024: Route, TV guide and everything you need to know Miguel ngel Lpez receives four-year ban for MenotropinLuis Angel GomezMiguel ngel Lpez has been banned for four years for the possession and use of prohibited substance Mentropin prior to the 2022 Giro dItalia.

SRAMs new AXS Pod Rocker addresses a hiccup that came with all the latest T-type AXS Transmissions. You see the new SRAM MTB Pod shifter ergonomics were not a big hit with a lot of racers, MTB brand product managers, and regular ol mountain bikers. Sure, their adjustability was great, but it just didnt feel the same. And after riders learned to love the Rocker paddle that upgraded the original generation of AXS controllers, it was easy to know there could be a better wayEnter the Pod Rocker!SRAM AXS Pod Rocker reshifts how wireless mountain bikes shift(Photo/Cory Benson)Whats something we kept noticing on pro XC bikes? Many were still using the old controller with the Rocker mod, or even something altogether custom like Blips strapped onto their bar. Sure, plenty used the new Pod, but many sought alternatives. And now SRAM has answered the call of mountain bikers!(Photo/SRAM)Much like SRAMs OG Rocker, this new XS Pod Rocker lets riders shift back and forth with their thumb. But now also to reach back with the tip of their index finger to shift both directions, as well. Now, being able to shift from both sides of the Pod, will give riders better ergonomics to take advantage of the original Pods angle adjustability. And of course, you can tweak which way the buttons control shifting, dropping, or Flight Attendant modes via the AXS app.SRAM AXS Pod Rocker Pricing, availability & options(Photo/SRAM)The new left- or right-specific shift ergonomics are available on new Pods. Or as an upgrade to your existing Pod, just like the gen 1 AXS controller. The SRAM AXS Pod Controller with Rocker only comes pre-fitted complete in the standard Pod with its own Discrete clamp for $150 / 170. You cant buy a new Ultimate controller or one with a MatchMaker mount already fitted with the new Rocker. But, you can buy the left or right Pod Rocker upgrade kit for just $22 / 22 (including pad, pin & screws), and then upgrade the shift ergonomics of any existing AXS Pod shifter or dropper remote.
