Salsa Cycles has launched Flyway, its fifth-generation gravel bike. It’s designed to be a versatile carbon gravel bike informed by the brand’s decades spent riding dirt roads and evolved for the changing gravel scene. This new gravel platform is meant to build on Salsa’s philosophy that comfort, stability, and versatility benefit both racers and adventure riders.
In this video, Miguel compares two electronic gravel groupsets: Shimano GRX 1x Di2 vs SRAM RED XPLR. Watch as he breaks down categories, shifting, braking, ergonomics, reliability, and real-world performance for gravel racing and ultra-distance riding. Each category gets one point, and at the end, we’ll see who wins. If you’re choosing a gravel groupset, I hope this comparison will help you decide.

Forbidden Bikes are known for their carbon high-pivot mountain frames. But they’ve now expanded to the rigid realm with two interesting new models. Both are titanium, both use Forbidden’s “One Ride” whole-body approach to geometry, and both will be produced in limited numbers. The Puritan is a gravel-inspired ATB designed specifically for flat handlebars and a 60 mm stem. The Heathen is a hardtail built around a moderate 130 mm fork, but aggressive 64° head angle. Let’s dive into the details…

With the third generation of Norco’s Search C gravel bike, the brand rolled out some great frame details and modern gravel geometry. With plenty of cargo capacity, including a top tube mount, three water bottle cage mounts, and integrated downtube storage, the Search is a capable backroads companion. Spencer found the bike refreshing in its lack of proprietary suspension and inspiring with its MTB-influenced layout. See his review below…

Remember when #roadbikesoffroad was a thing, disc brakes weren’t an option, and road cleats were routinely destroyed? Not so long ago, venturing off-road was a serendipitous adventure, and comfort was an afterthought. Reviewing the new Kona Libre feels like a nod to those fringe off-road experiments, bringing the category full circle and showing just how far gravel has come. Brooke Summers-Hume and Ryan Cleek offer a look at the latest and greatest version of the carbon-framed Kona Libre…
Utah-based Ari Bikes updated their Shafer carbon-frame gravel bike with all the stuff you would expect to see in 2025, plus a few things you wouldn’t expect.
Just when you thought the line between gravel and XC couldn’t get any blurrier, we present you the NOBL HR25 wheels. Built with modern wide gravel tires in mind, the carbon HR25 rims have a 27mm inner width and a hookless bead. NOBL optimized them for 45 to 60mm-width tires. The depth is a moderate 24mm to balance power transfer and comfort.
The first thing many of us ask about when a new gravel bike launches is tire clearance. 45mm used to be the sign of a progressive design, then it was50, then 55. As now, we’ll be able to follow tire-clearance talks with fork-travel talks, because today marks the launch of the RockShox Rudy XL, a gravel fork that offers either 50 or 60mm of travel, compared to the standard Rudy’s 30 or 40mm.
