INCREDIBLE Video Shows Slovakian Woman Ride A Bike Like You've Never Seen!

Artistic Cyclist Nicole Frýbortová krasojízda Does Some Amazing Things On Her Bike




If your jaw dropped when you watched this video, you can be sure you are human. An incredible mix of gymnastics, ballet, and of course cycling, Artistic Cycling has gone viral as a result of Nicole's breath-taking performance.

Incredibly, there have been Official World Championships since 1956, though Nicholas Edward Kauffman held an unofficial World Championship as early as 1888!


Nicole Frýbortová began devoting her life at the young age of seven. She vowed to enhance her artistic cycling skill to a level that is unmatched. Through exercises in Sokol Brno Řečkovice, she now competes in competitions worldwide.

Now 21, she represents the country of Slovakia and is presently preparing for nomination races and World Championships later this year. She has a dream on reaching the figure cycling elite- and we have a feeling she’s well on her way!

Without question, her years of dedication and training shine with her jaw-dropping stunts and
acrobatics on the bike. Competing since 2007, she has several East European championships under her belt. - Tumblejoy.com

Trickle Down Tech: Shimano Tiagra 10-speed 4700 Group

NEW For 2016- With 4 New Four-Arm Chainset, Updated Shifters and Under Tape Cable Routing


The Result? Improved Performance and Ergonomics




One of the most major updates is bringing internal cable routing to the shifters. The cranks also adopt the new 4-bolt pattern that, while high-performing, has be divisive especially as it has limited replacement availability at the entry-level. The new 4700 group comes in this new Meteor Grey finish.

The shifter body has the same compact shape as 105 and Ultegra. That means it has a recognisable feel if you’re coming from a bike with one of those groupsets, and if you’re stepping up from older Tiagra, well it’s a much nicer groupset to use.


The gears shift cleanly and smoothly. It’s a quiet groupset. Shift feel is perhaps a tad heavier than Dura-Ace or Ultegra. Shimano says it has revised the cable pitch on the rear derailleur, claiming it now offers “precise and long-lasting shifting performance”.



The double front derailleur gets the updated extended geometry with a longer lever arm for faster shifting that is now across the 11 speed groups. The triple front derailleur doesn’t get the long lever arm, but the linkage is redesigned and hollowed out for theoretically more stiffness and a bit less weight.


Rear derailleurs get smoothed over a little bit and again add the longer lever of the more expensive groups with the cable bolt moved past the P-knuckle pivot. This should yield better shifting and supports up to a 34 toothed cassette. It also puts the aesthetic a bit closer inline with 105, and less angular than the previous Tiagra 4600.


Shimano offers the new chainset, which borrows the four-arm design first debuted on Dura-Ace, in 53/39, 53/36 and 50/39/30 options as well as 50/34 Compact. There’s a choice of cassettes as well, and two rear derailleur options: one goes up to 28t, another right up to 34t.



The dual-pivot brakes look the same, but claim a 30% boost in power with better modulation. The flat bar shift and brake levers look to carry over from 4600 with just updated finishes to match. Hubs carry over too, in black or silver, hopefully with 11 speed compatibility.

The 2016 Trek Farley - The Tire Sizes Just Get Bigger!

2016 Trek Farley - Now With 5" Tires 


Trek says all the reasons that 27.5 wheels have an advantage over 26-inch for regular mountain bikes applies to fat bikes as well: larger contact patch, better angle of attack and shorter sidewalls for less bounce. Combined with the redesigned Stache model with 29×3 wheels and tires, Trek now has one of the widest “fat” product lineups in the business.

The new bikes are actually designed to fit multiple wheel sizes, as some models are equipped with the fattest of the fat tires and others are spec’d for better performance on trails or groomed snow. The new bike has moved to a 197 mm rear thru-axle while maintaining the same Q-factor as the previous model that could only fit a 26×4 tire.



Stranglehold dropout

Horizontal sliding dropout with reduntant securing mechanisms allows for no slip singlespeed or geared options and provides the ability to dial in the geometry to match each rider's style.

Allows for 15mm of adjustment to accommodate 27.5" x 4" or  26" x 5" tires






Internal Derailleur Routing

Sleek ports at the head tube and near the seat tube let you route your derailleur cables through the frame to keep your bike running smooth and clean.

[Video Review] 2016 Trek Fuel EX 8 - This Bike Keeps Getting Better! - 2015 Bicycling Editor's Choice

Redesigned For 2016, The Fuel EX 8 Is Ready For You!


Fuel EX continues to set the bar for full suspension trail bike versatility, bringing race-day tech to all-day adventure.


From the factory the EX 29 will be set in the low position with a 68.8-degree headtube angle and 334-millimeter bottom bracket height. Riders who want a more XC feel can steepen the head angle a half degree by flipping the Mino Link into the high position to achieve a 69.4-degree head angle.

You might notice that the shock looks smaller than the ones sporting Trek’s proprietary DRCV shocks. What gives? Fox’s new Float EVOL (extra volume) shocks match the linear spring curve achieved by the DRCV air cans. According to Trek, “you get the same great suspension feel of DRCV without the extra cost of a custom shock body. This cost savings allows us to offer our exclusive RE:aktiv damper on more models. As a result, the Fuel EX 8 and higher models in both wheel sizes will feature this unparalleled damping performance.”





The new Fuel EX 29 also offers up a solution to the increasing complexity of cable routing on modern mountain bikes. Taking into consideration all of the drivetrain options, remote lockouts, dropper seatposts, and electronic drivetrains, there are 54 cable routing scenarios that a bike needs to accommodate. Trek developed a flexible system, Control Freak Cable Management, to address this complexity, affording the new Fuel EX 29 clean and simple cable management for whatever routing option a rider prefers.


While the new Fuel EX sticks with 120 mm of travel front and rear (except for the Fuel EX 29 9, which gets a 130 mm Fox 34) the geometry can be adjusted with the Mino link that is commonly found on Trek’s longer travel bikes like the Slash and Remedy. An eccentric plate between the rocker link and the seat tube, it allows riders to adjust the head tube angle half a degree and raise and lower the bottom bracket 8 mm. The steeper setting is close to that of the previous Fuel EX 29er, while the slacker setting gets the head tube angle out to 68.8 degrees. Like all Trek 29ers the Fuel EX is designed around a 51 mm offset fork, which used to be known as G2, but has largely become commonplace for 29ers.


Bicycling Editor's Choice:
This lightweight but trail-capable 29er is a little bit XC, a little bit rock-and-roll. The Fuel would be an ideal one-bike quiver.

Glide Down The Mountain With Trek's 2016 Slash 9.8

All-Day Comfort, All-Mountain Capability, All-Enduro Machine

160mm of travel, slack angles, and a brand new carbon fiber frame that is claimed to a fair bit lighter than last year's aluminum version




The Slash's Suspension Explained

• ABP: Trek has using using their Active Braking Pivot design for quite a while now, and you'll also find it on the back of the Slash 9.8. The layout allows the dropout pivot to rotate concentrically around the axle, thereby limiting the amount of rotation between the caliper and rotor, something that Trek says helps to keep the suspension performing better regardless of if the rider is grabbing a handful of brakes. 

• Full Floater: Bolting the Slash's Monarch Plus RC3 DebonAir shock to a short extension off the front of the chain stays instead of a fixed position on the front triangle isn't a fresh idea, but it is one that Trek has used for a number of years now across most of their full suspension range. Trek claims that it allows the shock to ''better respond to bumps across a wide variety of terrain,'' which means that the design gives them more opportunity to tune how the shock performs throughout its stroke by altering the leverage from both ends.

• RockShox Monarch Plus RC3 DebonAir: The debut of a carbon-framed Slash is certainly noteworthy, but Trek's switch from using FOX's DRCV CTD shocks to RockShox's new Monarch Plus RC3 DebonAir is probably going to have an even larger impact on how the bike performs on the trail. It comes down to increased oil volume, Trek explains, with the added damping oil allowing the shock to perform more consistently on the long, rough descents that the bike was made for.

• Rear wheel travel: 160mm
