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…
eMTB Forks and Suspension Explained: Brands, Set-ups, and What to Expect in the UK
If you’ve ever ridden two electric mountain bikes with the same travel numbers and come away thinking one felt calm and confident while the other felt harsh, vague or nervous, you’ve already discovered the truth about eMTB forks and suspension: the headline specs don’t tell you the full story. An eMTB suspension fork is defined…
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…
Fox Podium mudguard finally arrives — a dedicated high-mount mudguard for Fox’s inverted Podium fork
Fox has released an official Fox Podium mudguard designed specifically for the Fox Podium inverted fork, filling a gap that has been repeatedly highlighted since the Podium fork launched. If you ride year-round in the UK, the appeal of a dedicated Fox Podium mudguard is obvious: the Podium’s upside-down fork layout can throw spray straight…
Michelin launches Wild Enduro Performance and E-Wild Performance tyres for enduro and eMTB riders
Michelin has expanded its mountain bike tyre range with two new “Performance” line families: Wild Enduro Performance and Michelin E-Wild Performance eMTB tyres. For UK eMTB riders, this is the kind of launch that can quietly matter more than it first appears. Tyres are still the most cost-effective way to change how an electric mountain…
Canyon’s Spectral:ON and Torque:ON return with a new 800Wh battery after safety concerns
Canyon has put its Spectral:ON and Torque:ON electric mountain bikes back on sale, confirming that both full-power eMTBs now ship with a new 800Wh battery. For UK eMTB riders, this is meaningful news for two reasons. First, it closes the loop on a period where battery safety concerns pulled attention away from what were, on…
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. In a market where plenty of…
