Welcome, friends, to another bumper edition of First Look Friday, where we guide you through a carefully curated pick of the best content from BikeRadar over the past seven days.<\/p>

First up, on Tuesday, I explained why the new Santa Cruz Bronson 5 proves bike development has stalled<\/a>.<\/p>

Later that same day, Nick Clark brought news of the new Fox Transfer Neo<\/a>, claimed to be the ‘fastest dropper post on the market’.<\/p>

Oscar Huckle was next up, unpacking the details of an interesting new upgrade kit<\/a> that enables you to convert your bike to run a 1x SRAM XPLR drivetrain without replacing your rear derailleur.\u00a0<\/p>

Eagle-eyed Tom Law spotted a new alloy Specialized Stumpjumper<\/a> that appears to mark a return to cable drivetrains, rounding out another busy news week.<\/p>

Away from all this breaking news, Jack Evans treated us to the latest update on his Giant TCX Advanced Pro<\/a> long-term test bike and delivered an essential guide on the importance of protein to cyclists<\/a>.<\/p>

Elsewhere, Laura Laker told us that 93 per cent of female cyclists have been intimidated by motorists<\/a> and related her own unedifying experience at the hands of an aggressive driver.<\/p>

With that varied cycling content platter served up, let’s get on with a tantalising glance at the latest bike-related tech that’s piled up on BikeRadar’s desks since last we spoke. <\/p>
