Flash Review — Commencal T.E.M.P.O.

by
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.

Simon Stewart reviews the Canyon Strive:ON for Blister

Canyon Strive:ON CFR

by
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

by
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.

Flash Review — Pivot Shuttle LT

by
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.
