Norco Sight VLT TQ launched with TQ HPR60 motor and high-pivot all-mountain intent
Norco has added a new mid-power option to its all-mountain line-up with the Norco Sight VLT TQ, a carbon eMTB built around the TQ HPR60 drive system and a 580Wh battery. The headline pitch is ride feel first: Norco is positioning the Norco Sight VLT TQ as a bike you actively ride and place on…
Avinox warns against third-party range extenders, and the wording is unusually blunt
Range extenders are having a moment in the eMTB world, largely because riders want flexibility. Sometimes you want the lightest possible bike for a one-hour blast after work. Other times, you want maximum capacity for a long day that mixes climbs, trail centre laps, and a cold ride back to the car. A range extender,…
Specialized Turbo Levo 4 gets an over-the-air firmware update with more power and torque
Specialized is leaning hard into software as a performance lever, and the Turbo Levo 4 is now the clearest example of how that can play out in the real world. A Specialized Turbo Levo 4 firmware update positioned as a genuine performance boost, not a minor bug fix. In practical terms, the published Levo 4…
Muc-Off launches the Foam Sprayer: snow-foam cleaning without a pressure washer
Muc-Off has launched a new Muc-Off Foam Sprayer, developed in collaboration with IK Sprayers, with a clear aim: make thick, clinging snow-foam cleaning possible even if you do not own a pressure washer. For many UK eMTB riders, that is not a niche idea. Winter riding creates grime that is hard to remove quickly. If…
Merida ETMO range launches as Merida’s most affordable full-power Bosch eMTB line
Merida has launched the Merida ETMO, a new aluminium full-suspension eMTB range designed to offer a more realistic entry point for riders who want proper trail capability without paying flagship prices. The big story is not that Merida has made a “cheap eMTB”. The ETMO is positioned as a full-power Bosch platform with modern geometry,…
FAST DC3 compression kit for RockShox ZEB, an upgrade route for mid-tier eMTB forks
A lot of eMTBs land in a familiar place on spec. The frame and motor are strong; the wheels and tyres are decent. However, the fork is mid-tier and works fine until you push harder, ride steeper terrain, or simply ride faster because the motor makes it easy to get back to the top. That…
Peaty’s Monarch Grips now include colour matched lockrings as standard
Peaty’s has updated its Monarch Grips to ship with colour-matched lockrings as standard, replacing the previous black single-sided lockring. It is a small spec tweak, but it’s the kind of finishing detail riders notice immediately, particularly if you have built your eMTB cockpit around colour-coordinated components and matching accents. The Monarch range itself remains the…
Shimano’s refreshed EP motors and new Deore XT Di2 shift the focus to smarter eMTB drivetrains
Shimano has rolled out a linked update that matters more to eMTB riders than a normal groupset launch. Alongside a refreshed EP motor platform, the brand has introduced a new Deore XT Di2 ecosystem designed to work as a system, not just a collection of parts. The headline is simple: Shimano wants shifting, motor behaviour…
Rocky Mountain returns to the UK and Ireland with Adaptive DCS as exclusive distribution partner
Rocky Mountain is set to re-establish a clearer presence in the UK and Ireland, with Adaptive DCS named as its exclusive distribution partner. For UK riders, the practical value of this sort of announcement is not about a single new bike launch. It is about availability, after-sales support, spares, warranty pathways, and whether a brand…
Dedicated FASTER: a lugged-carbon, high-pivot freeride eMTB with a Maxon motor and 195mm travel
Dedicated is not trying to build a mass-market trail eMTB. The newly revealed FASTER is a deliberately boutique project that sits at the extreme end of the performance and price spectrum, and it is interesting precisely because it ignores several conventions that have become the norm in mainstream electric mountain bikes. The FASTER is presented…
