I\u2019m sure everyone\u2019s happy we\u2019re almost halfway through January now. Mince pies will have been digested, New Year\u2019s resolutions broken and at least one of your new Christmas socks will have been eaten by the washing machine.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s look forward to spring. It\u2019s not that far away really, and the nights are noticeably drawing out. Soon, the commute home will be in daylight and the trails might, possibly, be dry.<\/p>\n

Okay, that last one is wishful thinking in the Northern Hemisphere for another couple of months, but we can dream.<\/p>\n

Before we rattle through what\u2019s hot at BikeRadar HQ this week, let\u2019s see what\u2019s been popping up on the site in the past seven days.<\/p>\n

It has been a good week if you prefer a longer read, with a plethora of features<\/a> having going live.<\/p>\n

We delved into our crystal ball to predict what 2023\u2019s MTB trends<\/a> will be, as well as what the road cycling world will see trending in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From an advice point of view, we discussed how to set up your cleats<\/a>, while Simon von Bromley paid tribute to his High-Mileage Hero, the dependable Elite Direto XR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tech aficionados will want to catch up on the best sub-\u00a3100 helmets<\/a> and the best enduro bikes<\/a>. Our Bike of the Week<\/a> was Canyon\u2019s Grail 7 AW gravel bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Robin Furtado brought us the first update on her Sonder Camino Ti Rival 1<\/a> long-term bike as she took to the mountains of Slovenia in search of cottage cheese and stellar gravel climbs.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, we served up in-depth reviews of the Portland Design Works Full Metal Fenders<\/a>, Exposure Strada Mk11 SB AKTiv front light<\/a> and Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SLT 750 27.5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, and this one is close to my heart, we rounded up the world of waterproof onesies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With that rapid tour of the past seven days\u2019 highlights complete, let\u2019s get onto the most exciting tech to land on our desks this week.<\/p>\n
