RAAW Madonna V3
RAAW has made a name for themselves by building burly, simple bikes that are easy to live with for the long haul, and we’ve spent the last several months with their updated Madonna V3 to see how that promise is borne out — and how the big Enduro bike rides. Check out our Full Review for the whole story.

Specialized Epic Evo 8
The new Specialized Epic Evo uses the same exact frame as the race-oriented Epic, but the Evo pairs it with a slightly more aggressive build to conquer rougher trails outside the tape. Read our Full Review for our take on how the Epic Evo blends its race-born DNA with more well-rounded Trail-bike intentions.
Starling Mini Murmur
Starling has shrunken its Murmur into a short travel version dubbed the Mini Murmur. With a handmade steel frame and 120 mm of travel, the Mini Murmur prioritizes a responsive, fun ride. Take a peek at our First Look for more.

Knolly has overhauled the final model in their full-suspension MTB lineup, with the new Warden getting mixed wheel sizes, revised geometry, improved aesthetics, and a bunch more. Check out what they’ve come up with.
2024 Norco Sight
Norco has been one of the pioneers in the recent resurgence of high-pivot bikes, but their decision to move their mid-travel Sight to the layout still came as a bit of a surprise. But has it paid off? We’ve been spending a lot of time on the updated Sight and are ready to weigh in.
Cannondale Habit

Check out our Full Review for the whole story, and our Deep Dive comparisons to see how it stacks up to several other Trail bikes.
2024 Specialized Chisel

Scott Solace Gravel eRIDE
The Scott Solace Gravel eRIDE puts the excellent TQ HPR50 drive system in a Gravel / All Road package. Throw in a few geometry tweaks, generous tire clearance, and options for Road and Gravel builds, and the Solace starts to look very interesting.
Kavenz VHP 16 V7
The Kavenz VHP 16 is now in its 7th iteration, and it still stands out as a unique combination of often disparate handling traits. Check out our Full Review and Deep Dive for our impressions after a few months of saddle time.

The E-Troy is a mid-travel eMTB with notably aggressive geometry, and the on-trail results are pretty special. Check out the full review to find out what Devinci has cooked up.
2025 Nicolai / Geometron G1
How do you go about updating what is *still* one of the most adjustable frames out there, with some of the most progressive geometry on the market, five years after it first launched? Geometron has found a lot to change on the new iteration of their Nicolai-built G1 — and much of what they tweaked might come as a surprise.
SCOR 6080 Z
SCOR has cooked up a bruiser of an eMTB in the new 6080 Z. With 180 mm of rear travel, a full power Bosch motor and big 750 Wh battery, the new SCOR 6080 Z is a big bike in all respects. Let’s take a look under the hood for all the details on SCOR’s new electrified freeride machine, the 6080 Z.
Chromag Lowdown
The Chromag Darco was one of the most interesting bikes we reviewed last year (and one of the most compelling, for the right folks). But what about its bigger sibling, the Lowdown? We’ve spent a ton of time on the longest-travel Chromag and are ready to weigh in.
