Norco aren't strangers to the world of high pivots – the Aurum HSP downhill bike kicked things off over six years ago, followed by the Shore and then the Range.

Norco Bicycles is excited to announce its exclusive partnership with Silverfish UK as the distributor for the UK and Ireland. The collaboration brings together Norco's rider-first mountain bikes, crafted in the backwoods of British Columbia, and Silverfish's award-winning expertise in the distribution of premium MTB and crossover brands.

Does a high pivot rear suspension design work on a trail bike? The new 2024 Norco Optic should provide the answer. With its 125 mm of rear suspension and progressive spec, it promises not only to be a fast climber but also a rowdy trail ripper. 

After a 10-plus-year hiatus from making high-end mountain bike tires, Michelin returned to the World Cup downhill paddock in 2019 with the MS Mondraker Team.

It’s the time of year (at least, in the northern hemisphere) when bike-cleaning sponges and cloths become something of an endangered species.

Race Face’s ERA crankset is claimed to be the strongest, stiffest and most durable crankset the brand has ever created, with the carbon fibre crank arms being reinforced with stainless steel wear plates. 

The HoldFast Trail Tool Wrap is a storage option made for bikes with a pouch to keep items such as a multi-tool and tyre levers and a small, as well as a zipped pocket to keep little such as a patch kit. The pouch has a self-adhesive gripper around the outside, which attaches to the frame. There's a pouch that can be mounted to the strap for extra storage.

2024 is here, and it’s a big one for Silverfish; we are turning 25! We have lots of exciting plans for the year ahead and can’t wait to celebrate with you all.

100% Sling are super lightweight summer gloves with an incredibly thin single-layer palm, topped with a four-way stretch woven material. Designed for summer ridding there are perforations across the entire palm, as well as laser cut holes across the back to keep your mitts as cool as possible. There is no fiddly Velcro closure, they just pull on and stay in place thanks to their great fit.

The Michelin Power Adventure is Michelin's second gravel bike tire, and it complements the Power Gravel they introduced a couple of years ago. 

The Norco Optic has become something of a legendary little bike, with an atypical combination of short travel, aggressive geometry, and serious intentions that result in something genuinely unusual on the market.

A solid, durable and good looking pair of sunglasses with great fog management.

THE ULTIMATE MOUNTAIN BIKE.

Meet the bike in-between nothing. Leaving no rider wanting. Master of the climb, the bomb, the rail and the air. The utterly unequivocal. The rule crusher. The trend buster.

These 100% S3 glasses looked like they might just give goggle-like coverage, but without the overheating issues goggles give if you want to wear eye protection for an entire ride.

100%’s rise in the road cycling market has been incredibly rapid, thanks in no small part to the association it’s enjoyed with three-time world champion Peter Sagan.

I have mostly used Oakleys past 8 years with the Flight Jacket being the latest. The Oakleys have always performed well but their weaknesses is durability. 

100% has extended its collaboration with us as their distribution partner for the UK and Ireland markets. Having successfully distributed 100%'s Moto and MTB ranges since 2018, we are set to enhance the partnership by taking on the sports and active performance sunglasses ranges from November 9th, 2023.

Following the recent release of Yeti Cycles latest range of muscle and e-MTB's into the UK market, we were proud to host our 2024 Yeti Cycles Dealer summit out of the Silverfish Service Centre in Risca, South Wales.

A superb week of riding bikes on Risca’s world-class trail network, the Summit gave us the chance to really connect with our UK dealer base and gave them the chance to experience the quality of the Yeti Cycles line up first hand.

This bumper box of Cush Core has come in with the express intent of changing the mind of Mr ‘I never puncture, why would I need inserts’ Chippendale.

You probably can’t tell from the picture, but the Tiny Tanker is about half the height (and weight) of a regular track pump, and boasts many of the same features.

At Silverfish, we have been busy with the latest refresh to the Yeti Cycles MY24 range. After the new EP801 equipped Yeti 160E was announced last week, we have not rested on our laurels and have now announced key updates to the Yeti muscle bikes offerings as well, all based on feedback from dealers and riders alike.

Road.cc has reviewed the Birzman Chain Wear Indicator II. Here is what they had to say:

The Birzman Chain Wear Indicator II is designed to measure wear in traditional 3/32in chains across the board, from singlespeed to 12-speed. This caters for most scenarios, save for track and some hub transmissions. It's nicely engineered and pleasant to use, and though digital gauges may have the last word in accuracy and precision, they're a good bit more expensive, too.

Yeti Cycles have announced a wealth of updates for their latest 160E E-MTB* with new components and improved pricing for MY24.

The most significant update to the range sees the introduction of Shimano’s latest EP801 e-MTB system which has powered the Yeti/ Shimano EP Racing Team to many podiums and stage wins during this year’s e-MTB Enduro World Cup (EDR-E).

Nestled in the heart of the South Wales mountain bike scene, the Silverfish Service Centre is dedicated to delivering exceptional suspension servicing and tuning on FOX and Marzocchi products.

Working out of our purpose built facilities, right next to the infamous Risca trail network and just down the road from Bike Park Wales, the workshop boasts one of the most experienced teams in the country! With over 100 years of combined servicing knowledge between them, our fully trained technicians have unrivalled access to official FOX spares and replacement parts to keep your suspension running at its best, whilst also protecting your warranty.
