Our purveyor of all things weird and wonderful, and BikeRadar’s fashion icon himself, Jack Luke, takes you through his top finds from North America’s biggest cycling trade show.

Which bit of tech is your favourite from this year's show?
@marshallemmett3313 12 днів тому

7:28- When did $4000 for a carbon road frameset become reasonable? Plus, 750 more for a paint job? I must live in a different world.
@bikeradar 12 днів тому
A fair comment, though by reasonably priced, I mean in the context of a high-end carbon frame produced by a small manufacturer. It’s certainly not cheap, but you could easily spend a lot more for a frame from a mainstream brand! Cheers, Jack

@DR_1_1 12 днів тому
Every new tech means MORE maintenance... disc brakes, tubeless, internal cables, etc... The main issue I see here is it won't fit a gravel frame, or maybe with a very small wheel?

MTB industry is led by fashion now, not by technology, and tries to push to ritch kids(and not just) same junk technology that used to be out there in the 90s, but now it's "cool" and costs 10x more. This starts to put me off from being a "biker", as bikes became just like iPhones and every other consumer short-lived tech-you buy the new model which is not even marginally better, but just has the new paint pattern and has the cool new GRIP6 damper which is 6 times "more better" than the old year's GRIP5. Then, the next year comes and the paint pattern is cooler and GRIP7 is out and you decide to be humble and just upgrade the fork and give another last chance to your "old" bike, but surprise - the industry has thought about cheaters like you - your bike has the old 1.5" Taper standard and you cannot fit the new cool fork which is produced only in the latest 1.8" SuperTaper standard and you feel so ashamed of your bike that you don't even go out there to ride it as it does not give you the 0.7% gain that your friends have now, so you spend your free time looking at the brainwash videos of the new tech and gain weight instead.
