About this episode

The episode discusses cycling tech, critiques of race bikes, and reviews of new products.

Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast, Simon and Warren are back to cover the hottest cycling tech from the week. We kick things off with a hot take from Warren – he’s had enough of pro-spec, Tour de France race bikes and thinks it’s time everyday riders stopped lusting after them. Following that, the two discuss Warren’s recently published review of Ribble’s new Ultra-Road – an aero-optimised endurance road bike – and why you should consider it alongside bikes from the biggest brands. Then, in this week’s news in brief, we discuss Garmin’s new potential Whoop-killer, Shimano’s new mid-range gravel shoes and the UCI’s staunch defense of nighttime anti-doping tests.
