Bike Shopping of the Week: Our Selection for 02/19/2026

This week’s new releases celebrate a clever blend of revisited icons and radical innovations. From the rebirth of the legendary Fizik Arione to the aerodynamic ambitions of the Reserve RD1 monocoque cockpit, not to mention Castelli’s performance gravel offensive, the new DMT Oxy triathlon shoes, and BH Bikes’ international artistic collaboration, road, gravel, and triathlon are buzzing with design, technology, and performance. An overview of the releases making headlines in the peloton.

The Arione is back! Fizik’s iconic saddle reinvented

The cult Fizik Arione saddle makes its grand return in a modernized, more technological, and still iconic version. Launched in 2003, its 300 mm length, at the limit of UCI regulations, made it a benchmark in the peloton. Today, Fizik retains its flat profile, promoting freedom of movement, while integrating new advanced materials and processes. The redesigned rails allow for a more aggressive and aerodynamic position. The “link” platform, from the Aeris range, now allows for the attachment of triathlon-type rear accessories. Five versions make up the range: R1 Adaptive, R1 Light, R3, R3 Adaptive, and R5. The Adaptive models feature 3D-printed padding, reducing maximum pressure by up to 60% for greater comfort. The other variations rely on carbon/nylon shells and different rails (carbon, Kium, or S alloy) depending on the range level. Between extreme lightness, optimized ergonomics, and modernized design, the Arione returns to appeal to modern road cycling. Price: from €99 to €299. Contact: fizik.com

Reserve launches a monocoque cockpit for road cycling

Reserve unveils the Reserve RD1, an ultra-light monocoque cockpit with a decidedly aerodynamic design. Developed for WorldTour-worthy performance, it combines modern geometry with fully integrated cable routing. Validated in the wind tunnel and on the road, the RD1 offers stability, rigidity, and controlled riding comfort. Its monocoque bar-stem construction optimizes the carbon layup for a coherent and high-performing unit. The tape area is reduced to the bare minimum to lower weight and improve aero. Compatible with the ACROS ICR system, it integrates a bike computer mount and accepts standard 1-1/8″ steerer tubes. Available in widths from 36 to 42 cm and stem lengths from 80 to 120 mm, it offers 12 configurations. Announced weight: 301 to 341 g, with no rider weight limit and a lifetime warranty. Recommended retail price: €549. Contact: reservewheels.com

BH continues its successful BH x Artist series and opens the project to the international scene

BH Bikes continues its creative BH x Artist series and gives it an international dimension in 2026. For this 3rd edition, the brand entrusts a BH SL1 to Dutch artist Joren Joshua. The frame, entirely hand-painted, blends graffiti and traditional printing techniques. After Raisa Álava on an Aerolight and Kike Álvarez on an iGravelX, BH confirms its ambition to link art and cycling. Presented at the Velofollies show, the personalized SL1 attracted all eyes to the brand’s 2026 stand. Based in Rotterdam, Joren Joshua develops a colorful, dynamic, and humorous graphic universe. He approached the bike as a three-dimensional sketchbook, a symbol of escape and the accumulation of moments. Created with pastels, the work highlights a spontaneous and expressive line. With this collaboration, BH confirms its desire to use art as an extension of its design and global identity. Contact: bhbikes.com
