The headline here isn't just a motor update; it's the 'One frame, three personalities' philosophy. By using a modular chassis, Ibis has created a single platform that adapts to three distinct travel classes: HD, TR, and S.
Whether you're planning a quick road trip to the nearest beach or a much-needed couple's getaway, spending a few days away calls for a sturdy, stylish, and functional travel bag. We often turn to our favourite weekenders to hold everything we need for short trips and overnight stays. The best weekender bags are roomy enough to carry your clothes, toiletries, and a pair of comfortable shoes or two
The best hiking pants earn their place in our packing list the hard way-through scree scrambles, sweaty switchbacks, and the kind of bushwhacking that tests each and every seam. We've worn them on short hikes and multi-day backpacking trips, in hot and cold weather, through light rain and high-alpine winds.
There's something oddly satisfying about watching outdoor gear shed its bulk. We've seen tents collapse into impossibly small pouches and sleeping bags compress into cylinders the size of water bottles. Now, Camprit is applying that same minimalist philosophy to camp stoves with their TiStove, and the results are kind of brilliant. The concept is deceptively simple. Take five titanium pieces (two foldable legs and three cooking panels), make them pack completely flat, and keep the whole setup under 1.5 pounds.
The core idea here isn't gimmickry. It's composure. Specifically, the idea that a calmer, more composed ride creates speed, and that a platform intentionally designed around 32-inch wheels can deliver that in a way a scaled-up 29er simply can't.
Batch aims to repeat the process, now in the gravel corner of the industry. Now, surely, these new gravel offerings won't completely knock your socks off, but that isn't Batch's intention. However, will they get new riders out on two wheels without the incredible cost barrier? Absolutely.
The Switch Rack is an axle-mounted bike rack designed to handle different cargo configurations. The rack attaches directly to your bike's axle and comes with multiple mounting options to accommodate different gear setups. The system focuses on being fully modular, allowing cyclists to customize their carrying capacity based on trip requirements.
We've seen a few bicyclist airbags over the years, but Aerobag aims to take rider safety to the next level of performance with their ultralight, compact airbag system that will be incorporated into the straps of your favorite bib straps. The core idea is that pro road cyclists, especially, careen down mountain roads at incredibly high speeds, with EPS foam helmets the only real element of safety equipment protecting them in a crash.
Today, Ibis is introducing the brand-new Ripley SL, a lightweight short-travel model that the brand is calling " a 5-pound rocket on wheels." With 117mm of rear wheel travel, a 130mm fork, and a claimed frame/shock weight of just 5 pounds, this bike fills the gap in the Ibis lineup that the Ripley V4 previously occupied. Categorize it however you will, but the Ripley SL looks like a great new option for those seeking race-inspired weight and efficiency with a trail bike attitude.
