When is it not a bumper week on BikeRadar? Although I\u2019m considerably biased, I\u2019d argue every week is a standout one.<\/p>\n

Arguably the biggest news we covered this week came from Specialized, which launched its all-new Allez Sprint<\/a>, claimed to be the \u201cfastest alloy road bike ever\u201d.<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m sure many will reel at that claim, there will be an equal number who are intrigued. Whatever you think, be sure to check out esteemed colleague Simon von Bromley\u2019s review of the Allez Sprint Comp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will the new bike from the Big S make it into our best aluminium road bikes<\/a> list? Time will tell, but expect a full review soon.<\/p>\n

On the mountain bike side, we saw the release of a new \u2018smart\u2019 full-face helmet from POC, called the Otocon<\/a>, featuring an NFC medical ID chip and a Recco reflector.<\/p>\n

There was also big news from Lapierre, with the brand announcing its return to the cross-country mountain bike market with its all-new XR and XRM bikes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether or not these can compete with the best cross-country mountain bikes<\/a> or best downcountry mountain bikes<\/a> remains to be seen, however.<\/p>\n
