Santa Cruz Vala
The Vala brings about a couple of firsts for Santa Cruz — their first Horst Link bike and their first Bosch-powered eMTB. After several months on board the Vala, it’s left quite an impression. Find out why in our Full Review.
Bikes & Frames
Kona Hei Hei 10
The Kona Hei Hei is one of the longest-standing mountain bikes out there, with a legacy spanning over 30 years. Today, Kona launched the 10th version of the Hei Hei, making changes in certain areas while leaving others the same. Check out what is (and is not) new.
Santa Cruz Bullit 4
The Santa Cruz Bullit 4 has landed, and it’s a lot different than the last one. Santa Cruz’s burliest eMTB draws some design cues from the Vala while bumping travel to 170 mm front and rear. Check it out in our First Look.
Lal Katana
Lal Bikes turned a lot of heads when they launched the Supre Drive a few years ago, and now they’re launching their own bike built around it. Meet the Katana.
RAAW Yalla!! V2
Revamped for 2025, the RAAW Yalla!! V2 gets a lot more than just an extra exclamation point in the name. The new frame doesn’t deviate too far from the original but gets mixed wheel compatibility, redesigned adjustable dropouts, updated tubing and protection details, and a bunch of other tweaks. Check out RAAW’s updated DH bike in our First Look.
Specialized Turbo Levo 4
The new Specialized Turbo Levo 4 has a more powerful motor and a bigger battery than the outgoing Turbo Levo 3, plus a host of other innovations that, combined with the new drive system, make us eager to spend time on it. Check out our First Look for the details.
Revel Ritual and ReRun
Hot on the heels of the Rascal SL launch, Revel is dropping two more bikes on the other end of the spectrum — including their first eMTB. Check out the new Ritual and electrified ReRun.
Norco Sight VLT CX
The Norco Sight VLT CX keeps its high pivot suspension layout but manages to pack a huge 800 Wh battery while weighing a claimed 20% less than the old one. That’s an impressive trick — let’s see how they’ve pulled it off.
Pivot Firebird V5
The Pivot Firebird is now in its fifth generation, and while the new bike looks a whole lot like the V4 iteration that it replaces, it’s got overhauled geometry, more adjustability, and several new features and refinements.
Revel Rascal SL
The Revel Rascal spent some time in the gym since its V2 refresh, and the new Rascal SL is the result. It keeps the same geometry as the popular original Rascal, but through some layup tweaks, Revel has pulled nearly half a pound of weight out of the frame. Check out the new Rascal SL in our First Look.
Kona Process 153
The Process 153 is Kona’s take on the modern long-travel Trail bike, but it also carries some unique traits. The result is a spirited, fun bike that we think plenty of people could get along with. Our Full Review has all the details.
Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay SL
We racked up the miles on Rocky Mountain’s Instinct Powerplay SL to put their new house-made Dyname S4 Lite motor to the test, and to see how Rocky Mountain’s take on the hot light-assist category measures up to the competition.
Nicolai / Geometron G1 GPI
Belt-driven gearboxes are having a moment in the world of World Cup Downhill, and Geometron has decided to join the party, too. The new Nicolai-built G1 GPI mates their progressive geometry concept to a Pinion gearbox and Gates belt drive, and the results are awfully interesting. Our First Look digs into this new futuristic rig.
Ibis Oso 1.1
Refinement, not reinvention, is the story of the Ibis Oso 1.1. Though the general design is unchanged, Ibis has learned from the first Oso and found small tweaks to improve the ride and durability — all while nearly halving the price from the original. Check out what they’ve done in our First Look.
Pivot Trailcat
The Pivot Trail 429 and Trail 429 Enduro are no longer — but the new Trailcat SL and Trailcat LT aim to be worthy replacements. The new bikes share a frame but are aimed at different corners of the Trail bike market. Curious what Pivot cooked up? Check out our First Look.
Commencal T.E.M.P.O. Power
The new T.E.M.P.O. Power is Commencal’s latest eMTB, adding Bosch’s lightweight Performance Line SX motor to their shortest-travel Trail bike, with an emphasis on versatility and playfulness. Check out our First Look to see how Commencal has approached its goal of creating a lively lightweight eMTB.
Marin Alpine Trail XR
The refreshed Marin Alpine Trail XR still brings excellent value but feels like a much more modern and well-rounded take on a modern Enduro bike than the old one. Our Full Review explains why it’s a standout.
Ibis Ripmo V3
While the Ibis Ripmo has stayed fairly consistent since its launch over six years ago, the mountain bike industry as a whole has shifted around it. So, where does it fit in today’s market, and how does it differentiate itself on the trail? Check out our Full Review.
Spot Mayhem 140
Spot does things differently from most bike manufacturers — with notable on-trail results. The Mayhem 140 features the latest iteration of their Living Link suspension system coupled with the stiffest frame they’ve ever built, and it still manages to stand out in a vast sea of 140mm-travel Trail bikes — in ways that are likely to really click for the right folks.
Commencal Meta Power SX 400
Commencal’s new Meta Power SX 400 puts the lightweight Bosch SX drive unit in a long-travel Enduro eMTB with a burly build, an aluminum frame, and a compelling price point. Here are all the details.
