Mondraker Scree: a full-power trail eMTB built for proper UK riding, not just bike-park laps
The new Mondraker Scree is a clear statement that “full-power” doesn’t have to mean “full-on enduro.” This is a trail-first eMTB designed to fit the rides most people actually do: after-work loops, trail-centre mileage, natural bridleway linking, and long days where the biggest limiter is usually time and energy rather than outright bravery.

SRAM MGU patent: an integrated 12-speed motor-gearbox could make the derailleur optional on future eMTBs
The SRAM MGU patent has become one of the most talked-about eMTB tech stories heading into 2026 because it hints at a future where shifting is moved away from a vulnerable rear derailleur and into a sealed, integrated system around the motor.

Five things we’re excited for in 2026: the eMTB changes that should make rides better
