Bianchi and its new version of the Infinito

Bianchi presents the new generation of the Infinito, a versatile bike designed to offer performance, long-distance comfort, and the ability to ride on more varied terrains. The completely redesigned frame and fork gain in rigidity and efficiency, with a 12-watt gain compared to the previous version. The new Countervail formula, 20% lighter, further reduces vibrations thanks to its integration into the frame and seatpost. The geometry evolves to improve stability, breathing, and pedaling efficiency, with seven sizes available. The Infinito also becomes “Gravel Ready”, accepting tires up to 40 mm and road or Gravel groupsets. The design integrates an internal compartment for tools and new carbon wheels. A limited edition of 200 units accompanies the launch, featuring high-end equipment and exclusive finishes.

Northwave invests in high-end Gravel/MTB shoes

Northwave unveils the Extreme X, a new high-end shoe for competitive MTB and Gravel, inheriting technologies developed for road cycling. It introduces the Hyperlight HT unidirectional carbon sole, integrating the High Tail concept to optimize power transfer, stability, and foot alignment. This platform shows marked structural gains, with significantly increased rigidity and reinforced plantar support thanks to the PowerShape system. The lighter and more ventilated upper relies on the internal ARS 3.0 structure and a double SLW3 closure for precise adjustment during races. The now replaceable studs improve durability on technical terrain. Available in black or white, from sizes 36 to 50, the Extreme X establishes itself as the flagship model of the Northwave Extreme Spring/Summer 2026 collection.

Sigma thinks of all cyclists with its Nyte Clip light

Sigma expands its lighting range with the Nyte Clip, an ultra-compact rear light designed for daily commuting as well as sports activities. Weighing only 19 g and offering visibility up to 500 meters, it stands out with its universal clip attachment, allowing it to be installed on a bike, backpack, school bag, or trailer. Its COB technology with 36 LEDs provides uniform illumination over 220°, with six modes and up to ten hours of battery life. Designed for intensive use, it features a robust IP44 certified casing and USB-C recharging. Its reduced dimensions (52 × 21 × 21 mm) make it a discreet yet effective accessory in urban environments as well as in nature. The Nyte Clip thus targets cyclists, families, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking enhanced visibility.

Continental also moves towards wider road tire sections

Continental expands its Grand Prix 5000 range with two new sections: the GP5000 S TR in 35 mm and the GP5000 TT TR in 30 mm. These developments respond to the growing trend for wider tires, sought after for their increased comfort, efficiency, and control. The S TR 35 mm allows riding at lower pressure, reducing vibrations without compromising speed or protection. The TT TR 30 mm offers an enlarged contact patch for more grip and stability in fast conditions. Both models retain Continental’s key technologies, including the BlackChili compound and Vectran protection. According to the brand, these new dimensions allow cyclists to gain confidence without sacrificing performance. The tires are available now through Continental’s distribution network.

Gregario and its 100% custom carbon monocoque frames

The “road or race” debate stirs social media, but the Italian brand Gregario offers another perspective: going beyond industrial categories to put the athlete back at the center of design. According to them, the distinction between endurance bikes and race bikes primarily stems from size standardization, which forces cyclists to adapt to the frame rather than the other way around. With its Vera project, Gregario manufactures fully custom carbon monocoque frames using a patented variable geometry mold. The approach aims to reconcile rigidity and comfort, starting from the cyclist’s biometric data to define an efficient and sustainable position. The Vera AR thus makes it possible to obtain a bike that is both high-performance and comfortable, without compromising between speed and endurance. The cockpit-handlebar-stem assembly is also custom-made, adjustable to the millimeter. Gregario thus champions a vision where every cyclist deserves a frame designed around their own body.

POC presents its road novelties for 2026

POC unveils its 2026 road cycling collection, dominated by the Raceday range, designed for competition and aerodynamics. This line introduces the Novus insert, developed separately for women and men and currently patent pending. The Cadence range, oriented towards training and versatility, is enriched with a women’s Cargo bib short and a long-sleeve jersey for cool weather rides. Both ranges benefit from specific cuts, compressive and breathable fabrics, and practical improvements such as straps allowing women to change more easily. POC also adds the Ultra series, translucent bags intended for long races or multi-day adventures. The Legacy collection, a limited edition, revisits the brand’s historical codes. Accessories — leg warmers, arm warmers, technical socks — complete the offer to cover all conditions. According to POC, this collection illustrates a desire for textile innovation and targeted performance for each type of cyclist.
