Pivot Shuttle LT updated for 2026 with Bosch CX-R and a removable 800Wh battery
Pivot has refreshed the Shuttle LT for 2026, and this is not a minor paint-and-parts update. The new bike is designed for riders who want a full-power eMTB that can be ridden hard on steep UK terrain, bike-park laps, and big days linking natural descents with long climbs. In short, it remains in the “proper…
Amflow PL Carbon Pro: UK retailers list stock, deals, and the fine print you should read before buying
The Amflow PL Carbon Pro is now showing up across UK retailer stock lists with real delivery timelines and, in some cases, incentive bundles. That shift matters because the bike has spent much of its life as an “internet-famous” eMTB, discussed for its DJI Avinox drive system more than its real-world ownership. Once bikes are…
New Orbea Rallon RS: Orbea’s smartest lightweight enduro eMTB yet
Orbea has expanded the Rallon name into something that should land firmly on Electric MTB UK readers’ radars: the Orbea Rallon RS, a lightweight enduro eMTB built around subtle assistance and unusually deep integration between the motor system and the bike’s electronic components. At a glance, the Rallon RS looks like Orbea has taken the…
Atherton S.170E goes on presale with DJI Avinox power, from £6,999
Atherton Bikes has opened presale orders for its first electric mountain bike, the Atherton S.170E, built around DJI’s Avinox motor system. For UK eMTB riders, this is one of the most relevant launches of 2026 because it pairs a UK brand with the motor platform that’s now driving much of the “what should I buy…
Velduro Rogue R: DJI Avinox-powered gravity eMTB targets bike-park pace in the UK
The Velduro Rogue R is a new-name, big-intent eMTB that’s landing squarely in the “gravity first” category. Rather than trying to be a lightweight trail all-rounder, the Velduro Rogue R is being pitched as a downhill-leaning enduro eMTB: long travel, a mullet setup, and the DJI Avinox drive system paired with an 800Wh battery. In…
Haibike HYBE CF 11 2026 gets Bosch CX-R motor and Kiox 400C top-tube display
Haibike’s long-travel HYBE has always been pitched at riders who want an enduro eMTB that can take repeated big days without feeling like a downhill bike you’re dragging uphill. For model year 2026, the headline update is a move to Bosch’s new Performance Line CX-R drive unit, paired with the Kiox 400C display integrated into…
Hope Pro 5 Hook Flange hub launched for Berd spokes: UK-made Pro 5 hubs built for textile spokes
Hope has launched a new hub variant that targets a very specific (but growing) corner of high-end wheel building: the Hope Pro 5 Hook Flange hub designed specifically for Berd spokes. If you’ve seen “string spoke” wheel builds popping up more often, this is a significant step because it brings a UK-made hub brand into…
Shimano PD-EH510 hybrid pedal launched: SPD efficiency on one side, flat-pedal control on the other
Shimano has added a genuinely useful option for riders who want clipless pedalling efficiency and flat-pedal confidence without swapping components every other ride. The new Shimano PD-EH510 hybrid pedal combines a Shimano SPD binding on one side with a grippy platform on the other, creating a true “one pedal that does it all” solution that…
DT Swiss Degrees of Freedom: why Reserve wheel buyers should care (especially on eMTBs)
Pedal kickback is one of those MTB topics that sounds abstract until you feel it. On rough trails, big compressions and square-edge hits can tug the chain, rotate the cranks, and make the drivetrain feel like it is fighting the suspension. On an eMTB—where mass, grip and speed all go up—that sensation can be more…
Bosch Flow app “mark eBike as stolen” feature: what it means for UK eMTB riders
eMTB theft in the UK is not just about the bike disappearing. It is the knock-on effect: insurance claims, downtime, the difficulty of proving ownership, and the reality that high-value electric mountain bikes can be broken down and moved on quickly. Against that backdrop, Bosch is expanding its digital theft protection with a new Bosch…
