In this final episode of 2025 we look ahead to the trends that could define road cycling tech in 2026.
We take a look at the return of true aero race bikes from brands such as Specialized and Giant, the growing credibility of 1x drivetrains on the road, and rising pressure on Shimano and Campagnolo to answer SRAMโs rapid progress.
But one of the biggest shake-ups could be in road bike geometry, changing many of your conventional thoughts on what makes an aerodynamic race bike. Listen up to find out more on that!
