Ridley Noah Fast (Uno-X Mobility)
The Ridley Noah Fast is the latest aero race bike for the Uno-X Mobility pro team. With its striking color scheme, an extended head tube, and the compact Nimbus Aero cockpit, everything about this bike is designed for maximum aerodynamics.

Canyon Grail CFR (Mathieu van der Poel)
The original Canyon Grail CFR, the very bike that Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck’s star rider) used to win the 2024 Gravel World Championship, drew plenty of attention at Velofollies.

Giant TCR Advanced Pro 0
The Giant TCR Advanced Pro 0 was crowned Bike of the Year 2025 (for bikes with a maximum recommended retail price of €7,000). According to jury chairman Tom Boonen, it’s not just an incredibly stiff bike, but also very comfortable. And if a four-time Paris-Roubaix winner says so, you can trust it’s true. Second and third place went to the Trek Madone SL7 Gen 8 and the Van Rysel RCR Pro, respectively. The annual bike awards are organized by Grinta!

Van Rysel Roubaix RCR Pro
The Van Rysel Roubaix RCR Pro team bike stood out in a fluorescent pink and deep black colorway.

Giant Trinity Advanced SL 0
The new Giant Trinity Advanced SL 0 time trial bike, unveiled at Velofollies by Tom Dumoulin, is lighter, more aerodynamic, and more comfortable than previous versions. It also offers more adjustability to help riders find the perfect position.

Canyon Aeroad (Canyon SRAM)
The latest Canyon Aeroad in Canyon SRAM team colors will be raced by top riders like Kasia Niewiadoma and Chloé Dygert in 2025.

3T RaceMax Italia gravel bike
A stunning shade of green never goes out of style! This 3T RaceMax Italia gravel bike is a true beauty, featuring a single front chainring and a 13-speed SRAM Red groupset, specially designed for gravel racing.

Liv AVOW time trial bike (Liv AlUla Jayco)
The new Liv AVOW time trial bike, developed for the Liv AlUla Jayco team, was showcased at Velofollies alongside Liv’s full collection. It’s great to see so much attention for women’s cycling, with bikes designed specifically for female riders—an inspiring move that should encourage other brands to follow suit.

Willier Triestina
Wilier calls it Infinitamente—an endless range of customization options, allowing riders to choose their preferred color combinations and finishes.

Factor Ostro VAM
The Factor Ostro VAM dazzled in a glittering purple finish, equipped with Black Inc five-spoke wheels.

Mario Cipollini
The legendary Mario Cipollini continues to produce stunning bikes, and this vibrant colorway makes you want to jump on and ride along the sunny Italian coast.

Aeroracer by Colnago
So, will anyone be able to beat Pogačar in 2025? It certainly won’t be because of his bike! Colnago’s new aero racer is built for speed. Check out our in-depth interview with the Colnago engineer for more insights into this speed machine.

Latest Comments
- I’m still learning the calendar: is cyclocross mainly preparation for the spring classics, or does he race it as a separate goal as well? I’d love to see him back in the mud.jeremya04-11-2026
- The article makes it sound as if Roubaix is the only classic where he has a realistic shot. He’s been close in Flanders too, and one good tactical day can change everything.jennifer1904-11-2026
- Milan-Sanremo and Roubaix is a pretty special pair of Monuments. Any clues yet on which cyclocross races he’ll target?andrewf04-11-2026
- He’s right to be realistic about Flanders with Pogačar and Evenepoel around, but you can’t count Van Aert out on those roads. If he gets the right opportunity, he has the engine and experience to take it.davidm04-11-2026
- That Roubaix win felt like such a release after all the near-misses. Brilliant to hear that joy outweighed relief for Wout.patriciaw04-11-2026
- Why would a mountain time trial be different from a normal one? Is it just that the riders have to climb the whole course?samanthak03-11-2026
- I don’t quite buy the “fear of failure” argument. Riders can race the Giro and still have confidence in July; it comes down to recovery and planning, doesn’t it?patriciaw03-11-2026
- The Giro-Tour double is a massive ask, even for the very best. Pogačar made it look almost routine in 2024, but that’s hardly a sensible benchmark for everyone else!pedalpowe2903-11-2026
- Bakelants makes a fair point: if the 2027 Tour really suits Remco, he can’t afford to dilute the build-up. That 37km flat TT will be tempting, mind.julien03-11-2026
- Mont Blanc sounds like a spectacular finish, though four climbs on the final day might be a bit much after eight hard stages. Hope the route details are clear soon.raceready703-11-2026
