We are excited to announce that Silverfish will be the exclusive Transition Bicycles distributor for Germany and Austria. Effective from 30^th April 2024 Silverfish will take over our distribution for these territories and help us bring more bikes and stoke to our friends in these key European markets.

Ever hear the saying, “Buy once, cry once, or buy twice and pay the price?” Well, that’s the angle that Race Face is playing with their new Era chainring.

Race Face has a very deep lineup when it comes to cockpit components, with offerings spanning the gamut from the light and stiff Next carbon offerings to the bombproof aluminum of the Atlas series.

FOX took their learnings from more than a decade of engineering dropper posts to make the new Transfer smoother, more robust, more tuneable and more serviceable than ever before.

Fox has updated their Transfer dropper post lineup for 2025 (yes, it's still 2024; that's just how years work in the mountain bike world), overhauling the internals to increase the durability, reducing the force required to lower the post, and adding in a travel adjustment feature. 

Yeti Cycles Announce The New SB165

“We said it already knows, and now it knows better. Proven worthy time and again at Rampage, reconfigured to fit the bill as a zero-hesitation go-to for whatever your pleasure. Un-rack it for all the park laps, pedal it on character-building epics, push it up spooky steep dark sides 'Nobody' knows about. Whatever the question, un-hard your decisions. You ask, it gives.”

Era and Turbine handlebars are the most advaced handlebars Race Face have ever produced. After five years in development, the new bars have seen more than 4,000 hours of field testing and Race Face confidently say that they have the answer to arm pump and hand fatigue. Era and Turbine bars allow you to ride harder, faster and longer, bringing consistent compliance to every width and rise, for every rider.  

Drawing on 50 years of suspension innovation, in 2024 FOX is launching three new dampers —each engineered from the ground up — that represent the pinnacle of suspension performance; the Grip X2 for ultimate descending performance, The Grip X for uncompromised all-mountain traction, and the Grip SL, the lightest XC damper with unparalleled ride feel.

When it looked like the roster was complete, Norco announced two more models to round out the stable in a powerful way. 

The Birzman Chain Whip is a simple and effective tool that offers more than enough leverage to remove stubborn lockrings.

In this week's GMBN Tech Show, Anna Cipullo is joined by Blake Samson to talk about the new Norco and their new high-pivot trail bike. In the rest of the show, we look at a new suspension fork from Push Industries, Cranks Brothers' new shoes and your usual favourites including your wonderful Bike Caves and much more!

In this week's EMBN Show, Steve Jones is joined by Rich Payne to take a look at the new lightweight Norco Fluid VLT. In the rest of the show, we look at a new affordable hardtail eMTB from Aventon, and your usual favourites including what’s locked away in the Bike Vault, we get social in #GETTINGSOCIAL and much more including some new segments!

For the all-new Era wheel, Race Face's goal was simple; achieve the compliant ride feel of their Enduro World Cup-winning alloy wheelset without sacrificing the durability, weight savings, and snappy feel of carbon that riders love.

This premium Fox gravel fork gets the slick gold Kashima coating on the 32mm stanchions, seen on Fox’s mountain bike forks. 

In a year when many bike brands have slowed their pace, Norco continues to innovate and push the boundaries of bike design. Today, the brand is pleased to release the completely reimagined Carbon Fluid VLT E-MTB, now available at dealers all over the UK. Featuring a Bosch motor, a complete carbon frame, and updated geometry with a top-shelf component spec, the all-new Fluid VLT is a lightweight package that looks, feels, and rides exactly like you want it to.

The NEW Yeti ASR marks the most extensive carbon project Yeti have ever tackled. Yielding the lightest full suspension bike in their history, contemporising their flex stay design to check today’s kinematics standards, killer small-bump sensitivity, insane traction and provide 100% usable travel.

Silverfish UK is amped to announce significant changes to our territory sales management for the South of England.  

When it comes to downhill mountain biking, a helmet is one of the first purchases you should make.

The Birzman Tubeless Repair Kit has the same form factor (and threaded end) as a CO2 canister, so you can add it to a canister mount if you have one on your bike, or just sling it in your toolkit.

Norco Bicycles has unveiled a ground-up redesign for two of their mainstay models. The new Sight and Optic are here.

It’s been more than four years since we’ve seen a Norco for sale in the UK, after distribution through Evans Cycles fell apart, but now in 2024 Norco is back with two new analogue bikes, the Sight and Optic.

Norco's Optic created a lot of buzz for being a short-travel ripper with aggressive geometry when it last underwent a redesign in 2019
