The new-look LeMond Bikes claims to set a new standard in ebikes with carbon fiber frames, accessories and integrated technology. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – LeMond Bicycles (“LeMond”), a company that encapsulates Greg LeMond’s legendary cycling career and 30 years of building the most game-changing innovations in cycling, today announced the launch of its first models: eBikes that reflect the LeMond team’s meticulous approach to design, technology, and innovation. With the launch of the Dutch and the Daily eBikes, LeMond is not only introducing bikes as light or lighter than anything in category, the company is also bringing several market-leading features including an internally…

And it’s working. Look, we’re more 1985 than 1995, but we still appreciate the finer things. Radical pink and cyan. It’s just tasteful. The Terra Ergolace X2 90’s are… well we had to check that they weren’t hiking boots. They’re MTB shoes. MTB shoes that “combine 90’s attitude with 20’s tech.” That’s pretty cool. Gonna be real honest with you here though: we like the logo more than the shoes. It’s at the bottom of the page. And, uh, before you scroll down, remember that kick ass Outrun is way better than crybaby Vaporwave. Introducing the new TERRA ERGOLACE X2…

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike…

Just in time to debut at the Tour, but maybe a year or two late to really benefit from the Sagan relationship… The limited edition collection is white and gold, combing the Tour’s young rider jersey with the 2000s Vuelta leader’s jersey. No, that’s not really the intent. It just looks fucking cool. Even the lens is gold. This new color scheme is available on 100%’s Speedcraft, S3, and S2 glasses. Peter Sagan will be wearing the S3 version at the Tour. Write that down, because it might be a question in a bar quiz in a few years. They…

CL-level Alpinist Joins CL50 in The Roval CL Series Conquer mountains, flatten hills, and feel your bike come alive with this ultra-light 1365 gram wheelset. Roval’s new Alpinist CL pairs the climbing pedigree of the featherweight Alpinist rim with workhorse DT Swiss 350-series hubs and gossamer DT Swiss Aerolite spokes. The new Alpinist rim technology has already proven itself worthy of the name. In the months since it was unleashed on the pro peloton, Deceuninick– Quick-Step team pros have ridden the CLX wheelset to victory on multiple race stages, notably in Remco Evenepoel’s command performance over 51k and four significant…

Ah, the Hammerhead Karoo 2. I’ve already collected every detail into one handy package: Hammerhead Karoo 2 release date, price, and tech specs. It’s the best guide to Hammerhead’s new device available anywhere on the internet, if I do say so myself. Well, soon that article’s going to be redundant, so please click an ad on your way out. Hammerhead has today announced that it’s about to open pre-orders on the Karoo 2. The Karoo 2 has so far been a series of announcements about announcements, but this looks like the real deal. Pre-orders open next week and we’ll get…

Pro series CamelBak packs. Some might say there’s nothing less pro than a CamelBak pack. But they’d be wrong, apparently. We don’t have any photographs of these things. Too bad. We used to be in CamelBak’s good books, but we never used their referral code because it’s cheesy when websites do that. You know what a CamelBak is. You put water in it and wear it, and hope nobody notices. Then you drink from it like a helpless fetus sipping from its umbilical cord. CamelBak’s new line is the Pro series, which offers “greater breathability and ventilation, thoughtful organization features,…

I don’t know if it’s because my sarcasm doesn’t translate correctly, but Meilan has taken a shine to me. And a shine is what they’re offering in their latest product: the Cute Eye. I’m assuming it’s a real product rather than an extremely elaborate pickup line. That video is actually all I’ve seen of it. Dark sneak peeks are all the rage these days. But here’s what I know: Cute Eye is a smart light that provides turn signals on your bike, which is pretty revolutionary. It’s been done before, kind of, but in quite dorky ways. You pair it…
