More images of Shimano’s unreleased Dura-Ace Di2 R9300 groupset have leaked online, which suggest the Japanese brand may have finally solved one of the current groupset’s biggest issues!

Simon and Felix discuss that and more in this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast.

Following the Shimano chat, we’ve got all the details on WTB and Stromm’s new aero gravel tyres, and the cool tech that might mean you no longer need to worry about aerodynamics when opting for chunky rubber.

Then there’s the news of ENVE’s new Melee V2 road bike, which is bucking trends with a controversial cut in tyre clearance. Simon’s not impressed…

Lastly, we round out the podcast with details of Zwift’s updated smart indoor bike, the Ride V2 and news of a world expansion coming to the platform this fall.

In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast Simon and Warren are back to discuss the essential gear for anyone just getting into cycling.

Leaning on their decades of riding experience, they tell you what bikes, kit and accessories are worth buying – and which ones you should avoid (at least when you’re just starting out).

Following this, Simon quizzes Warren on his recently published review of the new Pinarello Dogma X. Although it’s by no means a bad bike, its lofty price tag makes it a tough sell versus the competition.

Lastly, in this week’s news in brief, the duo discuss Campagnolo’s recent sale of a minority stake to an investment group reportedly backed by South African billionaire, Ivan Glasenberg.

Then there’s the peculiar news of new carbon wheelsets from Columbus, and Panaracer’s new AGXERO road tyres.

Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9300 is being raced at La Vuelta, but I’m not at all impressed by what we’ve seen so far.



In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast we’re going to discuss why this latest leak has left me – maybe us – so underwhelmed.



We’re then going to discuss this year’s best drop bar bike, yes, that’s right - our Bike of the Year has been crowned, and Warren here is going to tell you what it is and why it’s better than everything else.



Then, lastly we will of course have our news in brief, where we’ve got news of Specialized’s new ‘cheaper’ Tarmac SL9 range, Garmin’s new flagship smartwatch and Insta360’s latest action camera.



Before we crack on, a massive thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this podcast and helping us keep it going. We’ll have more to tell you about them later.

In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast, Simon and Warren discuss why the latest GPS bike computers can’t convince either of them to upgrade – and why Garmin’s 7-year old Edge 830 remains the undefeated champ (at least in Simon’s opinion).



Following this, Simon quizzes Warren on why he’s changed his mind about aero gravel bikes, following a number of recent bike tests.



We then round out the podcast with News in Brief, which includes details (and a hot take from Simon) about Continental’s new 32mm Aero 111 tyre, news that a fund to help young riders has been set up in memory of Finlay Tarling, and a brief preview of what to expect in our upcoming Bike of The Year test.

Elsewhere, spurred by a discussion around eCVT transmissions, Warren has a spicy opinion about drivetrains, suggesting it’s high-time we retired the humble bike chain.

We also reveal the latest on Raleigh and Lapierre’s fortunes following the Accell Group’s troubles, and share news of Wahoo’s plans to take on Garmin and Strava.

And of course, we finish up with Woz Occurring.
