The latest and most interesting kit to fly across BikeRadar’s desks

The word hectic doesn’t do your average week at BikeRadar justice.

Each of the site’s razor-sharp minded and eagle-eyed staffers flit between reviewing and scrutinising the latest tech, hunting out the juiciest news stories and imparting the wisdom they’ve picked up on the way to you, our dear readers.

It goes without saying this week has been no less ‘average’, with an avalanche of exciting stories on site.

Rewind to the depths of Monday, a megalithically proportioned (at least in the context of the internet) four days ago, as we broke the news of Coros’ first bike computer, with solar charging and a £250 price tag. Is it an alternative to Garmin’s Edge 1040 Solar? We’re looking to get a review sample to find out.

Monday – and multiple other days this week – saw the rhythmic onward march of Bike of the Year reviews, this time from the trail bikes category with Tom Marvin’s in-depth take on Scott’s aluminium Genius 940.

On to Tuesday and we headlined with Katherine Moore’s take on Liv’s Langma carbon race bike. Beautiful-looking, but also competent at speed, Katherine loved its ride and build so much, culminating in a 4.5 out of 5 score.
