While plenty of people had made full suspension gravel bikes in the past, the CheckOut went above and beyond, considering every aspect of the bike, down to custom racks and working with RockShox on a new fork. Travis’s review tackled this granularity with a fine comb and in this video, Trek goes through the development of this unique gravel offering…

British bike brand Fairlight just announced that its popular Faran 3.0 is now available in Iridescent Plum. This new hue shifts from deep blue to Quality Street purple, depending on the angle of view and light, thanks to this high-quality iridescent wet paint. There is no surcharge for this option on the Faran. The amount of design details on these frames is superb. The technology and design details are shared with the Fairlight Strael 4.0 and Secan 3.0, such as Bentley x Fairlight Mk3 dropouts, custom-formed flat ovalised rear-triangle, CNC hose guides & 3D printed BB guides. And of course, a custom Reynolds tubeset all in a £999 frameset.

Back in 2015, Santa Cruz resurrected the Stigmata, its drop bar ‘cross bike. John took home a Stigmata from the New Zealand launch and put some heavy miles on it. The new Stiggy was offered in a shadow-piercing orange paint that popped against the lush, green forests of New Zealand. But it was the shadow-consuming black and white paint job that looked so fitting on the bike. Still to this day, the black and white Stigmata livery is one of the most iconic paint jobs the brand has offered. New for 2026, the Stigmata is offered in two colors: green and black, a fitting throwback to that original tonal paint job.

The 2026 Stigmata is available as a frame for $2799, or build kits starting at $4149.

Roll on over to Santa Cruz Bicycles to check it out and read John’s review of the new Stigmata in our archives!
