Esta semana el “salseo” de la industria ha estado protagonizado por la incertidumbre alrededor de la próxima edición de Eurobike, una feria que nos gusta y que consideramos necesaria, aunque también necesita una revisión. El no acuerdo protagonizado por ZIV - Die Fahrradindustrie y Zukunft Fahrrad, dos de los socios más importantes, y los organizadores de la feria han puesto en peligro su próxima edición. Analizamos el formato feria, la importancia de un evento del calado de Eurobike (aunque no se celebre en el mejor sitio posible ¿o sí?) y todo lo que gira entorno a la que ha sido la feria más importante del sector en los últimos ¿20 años? En cuanto a las novedades de producto, hemos tenido algunas muy interesantes, sobre todo en las e-bikes urbanas (quizá algo más que urbanas) como la nueva BH Atom+ NX o la Cannondale FlyingV. También una e-bike que nos resulta muy interesante por concepto, la Focus Jarifa2, una e-MTB hardtail con horquilla de suspensión de 120 mm y un cuadro de aluminio con muchas roscas y detalles. En cuanto a los componentes, también hemos tenido noticias, ya que Campagnolo ha presentado un nuevo grupo, el Super Record X, un 1x13 electrónico para gravel; y Avinox ha dado el salto a los accesorios con su primer sistema de luces. Este episodio de La Semana ha estado patrocinado por las nuevas gafas Spiuk Nauka. Unas gafas pensadas para los que no se bajan de la bici: cómodas, con buen rollo y perfectas para tus rutas gravel, trayectos por ciudad o para cuando toca compartir anécdotas con los amigos. Ligeras, con lentes de protección UV400 y disponibles en dos colores. Échales un ojo en la página web de Spiuk.

Priority Cycles may be a new brand to the full-suspension MTB world, but they've got a ton of experience building belt-drive, gearbox bikes — and now they've launched the Vanth, a remarkably affordable high-pivot Pinion gearbox-equipped Enduro bike. So, why did Priority decide to enter the full-suspension bike market now, how did they come up with the wild-looking Vanth design, and what makes the Vanth so much more affordable than most other full-suspension gearbox bikes? We dive into all that and much more with Eddie Meek of Priority and Mike Schwartz, who served as an engineering consultant on the project.RELATED LINKS:Blister Mountain Bike Buyer's GuideGet Our Free Newsletter & Gear GiveawaysBLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Introducing Eddie (3:20)The Priority brand (4:38)Introducing Mike (6:34)Why a high-pivot Enduro bike?

In 2025, Christopher Blevins won 9 UCI World Cup races and was the first American Male to earn the UCI Men's World Cup Overall Championship in 34 years. He raced for Team USA at the 2020 (held in 2021) and 2024 Olympic Games and won the inaugural UCI Short Track MTB World Championship in 2021. Before any of those accomplishments, in the summer of 2021, Blevins was an early guest on this podcast. We're revisiting that conversation in Episode 278 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast" to showcase the wisdom, work ethic, and authenticity he exhibited as a young athlete on the precipice of becoming one of the best athletes in the world.Episode Highlights:How BMX training translated to racing MTB and on the roadThe influence of Durango Devo and mentors at Hagens Berman AxeonMaking the transition from Junior to U23 to ProStarting to work with Coach Jim Miller in 2019Seeking balance off the bike with poetry and musicGuest Bio – Christopher Blevins:With a background in BMX, Cyclocross, and Road Racing, Christopher Blevins developed into a MTB World Champion, World Cup Champion, and 2-time Olympian. In 2021, he made history by winning the inaugural XCC World Championship.

Hoy hablamos de algo que muchos ciclistas todavía pasan por alto: la microbiota. Y lo hacemos junto a Daniel Escaño, nutricionista especializado en rendimiento deportivo, para entender cómo las bacterias que viven en nuestro intestino pueden influir directamente en nuestra energía, nuestra recuperación y hasta en nuestro estado de ánimo.Analizamos cómo se ve afectada la microbiota durante las competiciones por etapas, los efectos de la temida fatiga intestinal, los errores más comunes en la alimentación del ciclista y cómo mejorar la salud digestiva para rendir más y recuperarte mejor. Un episodio lleno de información práctica y aplicable para cualquier amante del MTB o del ciclismo de carretera.Además, Antonio Ortiz nos cuenta su reconocimiento en Bolivia durante la edición 0 de la Pistoleros Gravel Race, atravesando el espectacular Salar de Uyuni, y Jota nos detalla su experiencia en la Wineland, con una segunda etapa que quedará grabada para siempre en la historia del Club BiciLAB.Y, por supuesto, cerramos con nuestras secciones habituales: Noticias, Vuestras mierdas y Nuestras mierdas, donde repasamos lo mejor de la semana ciclista con el tono inconfundible de BiciLAB.Dale al play, porque tus bacterias también pedalean contigo.

Wir lieben es, über den Tellerrand zu blicken – aus purem Wissensdurst und der Überzeugung, dass Inspiration oft dort entsteht, wo verschiedene Welten aufeinandertreffen. Deshalb haben wir in dieser Folge Florian Reiter eingeladen – Sportphysiotherapeut, Mentaltrainer und Laufcoach, der Bewegung, Körper und Geist auf beeindruckend ganzheitliche Weise verbindet. In diesem offenen und inspirierenden Austausch gehen wir Fragen nach, die weit über Technik und Training hinausgehen und die vielleicht auch Deine Sicht auf Lernen, Sport und Bewegen verändern kann: Was macht jemanden eigentlich zu einem „echten“ Sportler? Warum glauben so viele, sie müssten erst bestimmte Tricks, Strecken oder Höhenmeter schaffen, um dazuzugehören? Was passiert, wenn Begeisterung in Übertraining kippt und warum scheitern so viele am eigenen Anspruch? Wie hängen Körper, Kopf und Nervensystem beim Lernen wirklich zusammen und was hat das alles mit Schlaf, Geduld und Wiederholung zu tun? Warum sind Basics der wahre Gamechanger, egal ob beim Laufen, Biken oder Lernen neuer Bewegungen? Und weshalb verlieren wir durch Social Media oft den Kontakt zu dem, was uns am Anfang eigentlich begeistert hat? In dieser Folge sprechen Roxy, Berni und ihr Gast Florian Reiter (Sportphysiotherapeut, Mentaltrainer & Laufcoach) über Mythen im Sport, motorisches Lernen, mentale Stärke und warum sowohl Skateboarder, Biker als auch Läufer von denselben Prinzipien profitieren können. Hier kannst Du mehr über Florian erfahren:Webseite von Florian und Termine seiner Laufcamps: https://www.reiterflorian.at Flo's Podcast: Running Free – Laufen in deinem Rhythmus | runventure® by Florian Reiter

Trail boss Duncan Ferris is on the podcast! Duncan Ferris has lived two MTB lives: from 4X racer and World Cup track builder to shaping the UK's most ridden bike park trails at BikePark Wales. In this episode, Duncan takes us from the Bristol BSX scene, to building World Cup 4X tracks like Schladming, Vigo and Villingen and finally chasing down the National Champs jersey after 20 years. We dive deep into trail building psychology, why braking bumps form where they shouldn't, why variety in a crew is essential and how riders unlock creativity on a trail. Plus Duncan shares the BikePark Wales origin story, the dream project that became Vanta with Red Bull and Laurie Greenland, wild tales of dynamite on trail builds and digging up grenades.

Why perfectionism slows progress, what's really happening in your brain and body, and how to break the loop — on and off your mountain bike. In this episode, I dive into one of the biggest hidden blockers in adult MTB learning: perfectionism. If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “I should be better by now,” or you get frustrated when a skill doesn't click instantly — this episode is for you. We'll explore why perfectionism isn't just about “high standards” but a protective mechanism of your brain, what happens physiologically when you tense up and over-focus on mistakes, and — most importantly — how to shift out of that loop and back into learning flow. You'll walk away with concrete, science-backed tools to calm your nervous system, rewire your brain for real progress, and finally enjoy the process — instead of chasing “perfect.”

We are excited to look back on what was an epic weekend of MTB. The Quick 6 Fest and mini enduro race delivered as always. People always say it is the biggest MTB party in the woods and they are right. From the race itself, vendor booths, live music, food trucks, shenanigans stage, jump jam, and on and on the event was epic! We also had to hear about Alex's second training ride at Coldwater and what is going on with him. Hope your ears enjoy this one Gnar Gnation!

On this week's episode Kathryn and Kristi are joined by professional cyclist and Life Time Grand Prix athlete Paige Onweller. Shortly after the Leadville 100 MTB race, Paige was hit by a car while out on a training ride while at home in Arkansas. Not only did the crash cause Paige major physical injuries and a severe concussion, it left her struggling with the emotional toll of the trauma from the incident. Paige speaks openly about the challenges she has faced since the crash, and how her path to recovery is going so far. Anyone that knows Paige knows that she is a highly motivated laser focused on being the best athlete she can be. When that was taken away by the crash and resulting injuries, Paige refocused her attention to becoming an advocate for safety for cyclists and other vulnerable road users. She is passionate about spreading awareness around road safety, and giving a voice to those of us that use the roads for cycling, running, walking and other activities. Paige is in the process of creating resources that will provide a template and framework on how to reach out to your state representative, and she encourages all cyclists to speak out and advocate for safety on the roads.Follow Paige on Instagram @paigepowered

This week on the Women's MTB Network Podcast, we talk with Annijke Wade — adaptive mountain biker, advocate, co-founder of DirtBound, and rider/filmmaker behind Mystic Rider.In 2021, Annijke's life changed when she suffered a spinal cord injury during a downhill ride in Angel Fire, NM. Since then, she's been rewriting her story, reshaping what adaptive MTB looks like, and building real space for riders who often get excluded.She launched Camp Dirt, a program for adaptive riders who are trans, non-binary, or cis women, to connect, learn, and ride. Her film Mystic Rider showcases her in flow trails in Santa Cruz — a visual statement on riding with intention and joy.We dig deep into what it takes to build access, the creative process behind Mystic Rider, and what's next for adaptive MTB.Guest links• Instagram: @geodesicdome Instagram• DirtBound: dirtboundcycling.com (see Camp Dirt details) Your Site TitleFollow Women's MTB Network• Instagram: @womensmtbnetwork• YouTube: Women's MTB Network• Web: womensmtbnetwork.com

Struggling with fear on technical MTB trails? I certainly did! In this episode, I share my personal story of trying the “just ride scarier trails” method - whether it works for overcoming fear mountain biking, and how I finally built confidence on steeps, rocks and technical trails that once intimidated me.  You'll learn why fear doesn't actually vanish through random exposure, how your adult brain wires fear and courage differently than you used to as a kid, and the proven step-by-step approach to actually build lasting confidence on the bike. If you've ever thought “maybe I'm just too fearful to mountain bike,” this episode is for you.

Kaz, Dario, Stephane, and Matt chat about the latest MTB news, and why it pays for bike mechanics to be nice to customers.

This week on Red Bull Just Ride, Rob & Eliot are joined by freeride MTB legend Hannah Bergemann. We dive deep into what it takes to prepare for Red Bull Rampage 2025: from staying fit, feeling connected with the bike, and setting big goals for one of the most important events of the year. Hannah also shares stories from her early career, making the switch from skiing to MTB, why she's always preferred freestyle over racing, the unconventional tactics that set her apart, and do ski skills really translate to the bike? And of course, we talk about her role in the award-winning film Anytime and what it means to push boundaries in the sport. #RedBull #JustRide The most entertaining podcast in cycling, join Rob Warner and Eliot Jackson – the most entertaining voices on two wheels to discover new and exciting disciplines and captivating stories as they delve into an array of cycling adventures.

Swedish mountain bike royalty Anton Thelander is on the podcast! On this episode of The Ride Companion Anton talks about going from local skateparks and Sweden's MTB school to Red Bull Phenom, a 4th place at Joyride and a Rampage debut before suffering the effects of burnout. In this brutally honest conversation Anton opens up about Martin Söderström's mentorship, Canyon signing, that first Red Bull helmet reveal and the tough years. Anton opens up about depression, losing contracts, moving back home, and how he started rebuilding with therapy, movement, a new toolbox for his mind, and finally rediscovering riding during covid. Anton also talks about being back involved in slopestyle with a healthier relationship to the bike and a new purpose as a judge. He shares what judging actually looks like (the silhouette rule), why the trick economy is like learning Excel plus much more...  The Ride Companion Christmas Ride at BikePark Wales!

On this week's episode Kathryn and Kristi are joined by ultra runner and pro cyclist Maude Farrell. Maude was the winner of the 2025 Lead Challenge, which is a series of races in Leadville, CO that includes the Leadville Trail 100 MTB, the Leadville Trail 100 Run, and a handful of other races across the summer. Maude talks about the series, including the exciting close finish between her and the woman who finished in second place. Maude describes how she balances training for ultra running and cycling, as well as a full time job, and what keeps her excited about competing. Maude was last on the show in 2022, and since then her life has changed a lot. She was a close friend and roommate of Moriah Wilson who was tragically lost that year. She opens up about the devastation of the loss for the cycling community, and for her personally. Maude also describes how she has learned to live with the grief of losing such a close friend and training partner over the last three years, and what she has learned about herself in the process.Follow Maude on Instagram @maude.tmgLearn More and Register for our Feisty 40+ Strong Retreat: https://www.womensperformance.com/strongretreat Follow us on Instagram:@girlsgonegravel @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code GIRLSGONEGRAVEL at https://www.previnex.com/ Feisty's Lift Heavy Guide: Get your guide to lifting heavy plus a 4-week training plan at https://www.womensperformance.com/lift-heavy

Kim Beckinsale and Alina McMaster, both in their mid-50s, race with Mountain Designs Wild Women, along with their teammates Cass Kimlin and Del Lloyd, who are both over 40. The team made history last year by becoming the first all-female team to win the 450 km Legend Expedition Race along Australia's Great Ocean Road, finishing in 73:09:27 and outracing men half their age. They unpack how women-only team chemistry—less ego, more communication, and strategic towing/help—can be a superpower over multi-day, map-and-compass courses on little sleep. They also share how their training has evolved with age (fewer “flog yourself” sessions, sharper intensity, bigger recovery) and how menopause shows up (heat management, sleep shifts, mood) without slowing performance. Kim and Alina are currently at Expedition Canada 2025, getting ready to tackle a 750+ km trek–bike–paddle course starting September 25.

Last week I had the honor of giving a keynote speech at the IMBA Europe Summit in Boltaña, in the heart of the Pyrenees in Spain (a GORGEOUS riding area). In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways, how new research shows E-MTBs change riding behavior and keep more people riding longer, and why mountain biking is much more than just “send-it” culture. From inspiring projects in Nepal, Bhutan, and schools worldwide, to women like Manon Carpenter, Evelyn from Dutch Girls on Wheels, and many others leading the way — this summit left me hopeful and excited about a more inclusive future for MTB. Fact is: Trails connect us. Skills empower us. And inclusion sustains us. Here's the "Neuroscience of MTB Skills Practice" Video I talk about in this episode.    Here are some of the inspiring people and links I mention in this episode - but there were SO many more uplifting connections made! Dutch Girls on Wheels: https://www.instagram.com/dutchgirls_on_wheels Pinar Pinzuti: https://www.instagram.com/pinarpinzuti Manon Carpenter: https://www.instagram.com/manoncarpenter Dr. Lesley Ingram Sills - Research about E-MTB: https://mtbcos.co.uk/dr-lesley-ingram-sills  Mental Health Benefits of Mountain Biking - Research by Edinburg Napier University: https://www.napier.ac.uk/about-us/our-schools/school-of-applied-sciences/mountain-biking/mountain-biking-and-mental-health Julie Cornelius from Worldride: Changing Women's Lives Through Mountain Biking  Dr. Esther Walker at Outride - Bringing Cycling Programs to Schools Loren Rowney at IMBA - Meet the IMBA Europe Team here.  Start working on your skills for free and get my tips directly to your inbox:

Welcome to the only MTB podcast to provide you with suspect mountain bike expertise, best enjoyed while sunning your rear, paddling your shins, or taping down your “business” for that sweet aerodynamic gain. Oh, and we have pro riders like Jerrell Webster on. On this week's episode, we chewed through three core themes at a speed only barely hampered by our collective ADHD: 1) Debating the joys of escaping from traditional team sports into the beautiful, ego-destroying mayhem of mountain biking, 2) Exposing the seedy underbelly of the MTB world's obsession with tight kits, mysterious Facebook boomers, and our own online store that only seems to accept PayPal, and 3) Taking an overdue dose of reality about diversity on bikes, featuring Jerrell Webster's quest to make Rampage less pale. We sprinkle in some shinner injuries, unsolicited scooter opinions, and just enough political Facebook comment dumpster fires to keep your brain itching all week. We recommend you "smash" play harder than Sponch's mom if you want a “podshow” that delivers the gnar, the existential dread, and all the self-deprecating humor your tender little ears can handle. Just don't expect any useful advice—unless you consider life hacks like “always ready to shred” and “never trust a man who pedals” as gospel.  Guest info: Jerrell Webster Check out our store for sick shirts.

Blake Samson (aka Zimblake) is on the podcast!! After nine years at GMBN, Blake opens up for the first time about what it was really like to be part of one of the world's biggest MTB YouTube channels. He takes us inside the “gold rush” early days, the reality of filming 365 videos a year, the sunshine shoots, idea sessions, thumbnail battles, and the relentless pace that nearly broke him. Blake also shares how Martin Ashton brought him into the fold, the story behind the legendary Bucket Bike, his approach to reaching audiences outside of MTB, and his surprising pick for the one bike he'd ride for life. And as one chapter ends, Blake teases the next: going all-in on his own channel with a mix of MTB, outdoor builds, Jeeps, 4x4 adventures, camping, motorbikes, fishing, and big adventures still to come.

Nick is a rider who proves that passion, persistence, and maybe a touch of stubbornness can take you pretty far—whether that's up a Wasatch climb at sunrise or across the finish line at Leadville. He grew up in Salt Lake City as the oldest of three kids. He earned his Eagle Scout, served an LDS mission in Milan, Italy, earned his Economics degree from the U and MBA from Westminster. He even found time to volunteer at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, supporting the U.S. Olympic Team with athlete services and translation. He's been with Optum for 23 years, working his way up from sales to Director of Business Operations, and I think he'd tell you the reason he's stayed so long is because of the people and relationships. He's been married to his wife, Jennilynn, for 17 years - and she keeps him fueled with plenty of baked goods. He is a proud dad of two (one through fertility treatments and one through adoption), and shares his home with Bella, a 5-year-old St. Bernard who probably weighs more than all of his bikes combined. He's been passionate about sports since he was young. He ran track and cross country, once ran a marathon, finishing in 4hrs and 4 min, and swore ‘never again,' and eventually found his true love in cycling. Since then, he's tackled countless endurance events—multiple century rides, six LOTOJAs, Steamboat Springs Gravel, and most recently, the Leadville 100 MTB. Nick is so grateful for the Mi Duole team. Riding with them has pushed him to grow as a cyclist while also creating meaningful friendships that extend beyond the bike.  Around the house, he's known as the guy who fills the garage with bikes, never stops talking about cycling, and occasionally finishes a project or two in between rides. Passionate, disciplined, and just stubborn enough to keep pushing through the hard stuff is what makes him such a strong rider and a great husband and father.

Flying solo this week companionship! During this episode I decided to talk about anxiety (amongst other things). I wanted to share how my anxiety presents it's self, where I think it comes from, why so many of us feel it and what's actually helped me manage it. I also take some time to answer some listener questions around MTB origins, riding with pros, running in a new bike, ebikes, Billy Bolt's Tyne Ride, fitness/bodybuilding, music, books, podcasts and more.  I don't find doing this easy AT ALL so, I hope you find some enjoyment from me putting myself through it!
