The Commencal T.E.M.P.O. is both their shortest travel full-suspension bike, and a big departure from their design norms in other ways — and we've started spending time on it. Check out our early on-trail impressions.

Fox Union Shoe
Fox has been making MTB apparel for a long time, but the Union shoe is their first foray into that market — and they're excellent.
Canyon Strive:ON CFR
Canyon launched two new long-travel full-power e-MTBs simultaneously, and the new Strive:ON is meant to be the racing-oriented compatriot to the freeride-focused Torque:ON — but the two share nearly identical geometry and both rock a mullet, so what sets the two apart? Turns out that there’s quite a bit.
Canyon Torque:ON CF
There aren’t a ton of bikes being branded as “freeride” bikes these days, but Canyon has dubbed their new Torque:ON CF an “e-freeride” bike, and it’s positioned pretty differently from a lot of the long-travel, full-power e-MTBs on the market. Check out our First Look for everything that makes the Torque:ON CF different.

Propain’s Tyee Enduro bike just got a major update, and while the new one is visually pretty similar to the bike that it replaces, there’s a lot of new stuff going on here. Check out our First Look for all the info.
Marin Rift Zone E

SRAM Eagle AXS Long-Term Durability
SRAM’s new Eagle Transmission is a big change to their mountain bike lineup, but what does the demise of the derailleur hanger mean for long-term durability, and is electronic shifting just an unnecessary gizmo or a genuine benefit? Blister Editor Simon Stewart reflects on four-plus years with the original Eagle AXS drivetrain.
2023 Marin Alpine Trail E
The Marin Alpine Trail E gets a refresh today, and while its geometry hasn’t changed much, it’s still pretty out there for a ~150 mm travel bike — and the value for money in terms of the build specs is especially impressive.

Flash Review — Esker Rowl
We've started spending time on the Esker Rowl, and its wild Orion suspension is an early standout. Check out our Flash Review for our initial impressions.
Esker Rowl
The Esker Rowl is a mid-travel Trail bike that does a lot of things differently from the rest of the market — starting with a wild Dave Weagle-designed suspension system.
Commencal T.E.M.P.O.
The Commencal T.E.M.P.O. is a new short-travel Trail bike that looks to keep a lot of Commencal's core identity, but also does quite a bit differently from most of their lineup.
Transition Relay
Transition's second e-bike, the Relay, is here — and among other things, it isn't *always* an e-bike. Check out our First Look for the rundown.
Flash Review — Pivot Shuttle LT
We've started spending time on Pivots big Enduro e-bike, the Shuttle LT, and our early impressions are very positive — but it’s also raised some interesting questions.
