SRAM Eagle 70 & 90 Transmission

by
The long-rumored mechanical version of SRAM Transmission is here, in two variants — Eagle 70 and Eagle 90. Check out what’s new with the cable-actuated Transmission variants, what’s shared with the existing electronic versions, and our on-trail impressions so far.
David Golay reviews the Outlier Void and Pendulum Pedals for BLISTER

Outlier Void and Pendulum Pedals

by
It’s hard to make a new flat pedal design really stand out from the many, many good options already out there but Outlier has done it — twice — with their new Void and Pendulum pedals. Check out what makes them different, and potentially very compelling.
Blister reviews the OneUp Clip Pedals

OneUp Components Clip Pedals

by
OneUp has officially entered the clipless pedal game. The new Clip Pedals are based around an SPD cleat, but OneUp has developed their own custom mechanism — and has some interesting claims about how it differs from other SPD pedals. Check out our First Look for the rundown.

David Golay reviews the MRP AMg for BLISTER

MRP AMg Chain Guide

David Golay reviews the Race Face Era cranks for Blister

David Golay reviews the SRAM GX Transmission for Blister

SRAM GX Transmission & Bronze Stealth Brakes

by
SRAM’s new T-Type groupsets launched just a few months ago with high-end XX SL, XX, and X0 tiers, and now there’s a new, more affordable GX version. While the high-level details closely mirror those of the higher-end variants, SRAM has done a lot more than just make a less-expensive, heavier version of the Transmission. Check out our First Look for all the details.
David Golay reviews the HT T2 and X3 Pedals for Blister

HT T2 & X3 Pedals

by
Our bike editor has been a huge fan of HT’s clipless pedals for a long time now, and the latest iterations of their Trail and DH pedals — the T2 and X3 — bring about some subtle but welcome refinements while retaining everything that made the older T1 and X2 great in the first place.
