Cambodian bicycle manufacturers have suffered from shrinking demand in the global market, and the decline in exports will continue to widen. In the first half of 2023, Cambodia's exports fell by 30.52% year-on-year. However, the market shows no signs of recovery at all. According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Commerce, Cambodia’s exports from January to October 2023 totaled 402 million euros, a 42.8% decrease from 704 million euros in the same period last year. Penn Sovicheat, secretary of state and spokesperson for the Cambodian Ministry of Commerce, told the Khmer Times: "The seasonal festivals in Western countries are coming, and this is Cambodia's main market for bicycles, so I predict that bicycle exports will increase in the coming months this year. ." The Christmas market may boost bicycle sales in North America and the UK, but it won't clear inventories. British and American companies see this as no reason to order new cars. There is currently no sign that the spokesperson's prediction will come true, so Cambodia's bicycle exports are expected to continue to decline in the fourth quarter. Cambodia’s bicycle exports grew rapidly during the epidemic. As early as 2020, Cambodia had rapidly developed into an important production base for bicycles in Europe and North America. Total bicycle exports in 2019 were 349.9 million euros, an increase of 24.6% compared with 280.7 million euros in 2018.

SRAM has finally announced the launch of its e-assist bike motor, called the Eagle Powertrain. It was developed in partnership with Brose and is primarily designed for eMTB use, in conjunction with their AXS wireless technology and Eagle Transmission. What is worth looking forward to is that the new feature of Eagle Powertrain is the addition of automatic transmission function. Given that SRAM acquired German brand Amprio earlier this year, the collaboration with Brose is even more interesting. SRAM and Brose have assembled a powerful 90Nm motor that delivers 680W of peak power. To simplify the process, SRAM chose to use only two assist modes: Range Mode, which does what it recommends and works best on easier terrain to manage battery drain. Then there's Power mode, which is more of a boost mode, perfect for big climbs and tough technical features. Both modes can be customized through the AXS app. There are two battery sizes available: 630Wh, which provides up to 4.5 hours of use, and 720Wh, which provides up to 5 hours of use. For a more secure design, the battery is secured using hex screws, which alleviates concerns about the removable battery detaching from its mount in turbulent terrain. The interface between the drive unit and the battery has been simplified, which means we may have a chance to see some truly minimalist eMTBs, with the design keeping components in a cleaner position on the vehicle. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the Eagle's powertrain is the use of automatic shifting technology. This essentially lets the bike determine gear changes and power delivery based on terrain and cadence. It relies on powertrain software to select the appropriate gear, but can be overridden by the rider, much like canceling cruise control in a car by activating the necessary pedals. Automatic shifting technology also includes coasting shifting, which allows the chainrings to move independently of the crank. This means the rider can shift gears while stationary. It also records the current bike speed to select the most appropriate gear. SRAM’s Pod shifters may seem a bit strange to riders unfamiliar with the system, which controls automatic shifting, manual shifting, and dropper use. In addition to the auto-shifting technology, the Eagle Powertrain syncs with derailleur gears and some RockShox components, including the Flight attendant fork and shock and the Reverb AXS seatpost.

A new BMC car exposed at this year's Critérium du Dauphiné was officially released. It was previously speculated that this is the next generation Timemachine Road 01. (BMC’s new aerodynamic road car exposed, suspected to be the next generation Timemachine Road 01). But I only guessed half of it right. This is indeed BMC’s new generation of aerodynamic road bike, but it is now called Teammachine R 01 and will sit side by side with the long-standing Teammachine SLR 01 (a ten-year change – BMC Teammachine SLR01). They are both BMC's top racing road cars, and no one will replace the other. This name change also means that BMC’s aerodynamic road bike has become more versatile. It can climb mountains and conquer the cobblestone roads of the Spring Classics. Teammachine R embodies BMC’s vision of the future of race road racing – redefining what a race car can do and becoming an out-and-out race machine when every watt and every pedal counts. Of course, BMC has enough confidence, that is, in-depth cooperation with Red Bull Advanced Technologies (RBAT) to launch this new series of Teammachine R, which inherits F1 technology and is born for competition. BMC is good at innovation, and after cooperating with RBAT, it took innovation to a new level. This is fully reflected in Teammachine R, and some designs have not been seen before. But before giving a full introduction to Teammachine R, let’s first understand the relationship (difference) between it and the existing Teammachine SLR. Obviously, Teammachine R and Teammachine SLR are both born for competition. They are both versatile, but they still have their own advantages. Teammachine SLR has stronger climbing ability, while Teammachine R has better aerodynamics. Teammachine R is BMC’s fastest racing car and is more rigid and suitable for pursuing absolute speed, while Teammachine SLR is easier to conquer mountains and has better compliance, making it more suitable for a full day of riding. BMC believes that only two cars can meet all conditions. BX Jun believes that Teammachine R is a testing ground for new technologies and the product of cooperation with Red Bull, while Teammachine SLR is a natural iteration, and the fifth generation will also arrive as planned. Teammachine R 01 using Red Bull F1 technology Strategic partnership: Following the successful development of the recently launched Speedmachine, the partnership between BMC and 1 Red Bull Racing’s engineering arm: Red Bull Advanced Technologies RBAT continues. The Winning Combination: The optimal balance of aerodynamics and power transfer combine to create a bike built purely for racing. Brand new and exciting PoFeng design: not repeating the previous design; tearing everything down and starting over. Aerodynamics: innovative features never seen before in a road racing car POWER TRANSMISSION: The most efficient power transmission on the road developed by BMC Rider Feel: The connection between rider and bike results in better predictability and han...

Giant has just updated its endurance road bike Defy, which is fully internally routed, lighter and has a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio. Reduce weight and increase stiffness Entering the era of disc brakes, the unavoidable topic is weight reduction. Although Defy may not appear in top competitions now, for ordinary users, bikes that are lighter and have a certain stiffness are easier to ride, so the new generation Defy continues to lose weight and increase stiffness. Giant officially announced the stiffness data of the frame this time, using the test standard established by the German Tour magazine with an M-size frame. Compared with the previous generation Defy Advanced Pro, Defy Advanced SL has an 8.9% increase in transmission stiffness. The new generation Defy Adv level frame weight has also dropped to 860 grams, which is lighter than the previous generation. The top Defy Adv SL frame weight is only 785 grams, and the front fork is only 345 grams. If the front fork is cut off, The weight is estimated to be only about 320 grams, which is very light. Compared to the overall weight of the frameset Let’s start with the frame. Each Defy frame is hand-built at Giant’s own composite manufacturing facility to meet specific targets for key factors such as vertical compliance. At the rear of the bike, dropped seatstays absorb road shock and vibration from the rear wheel to the rider. At the front, a newly designed fork made from Giant’s Advanced SL or Advanced composite (depending on the series) absorbs impacts transmitted upward through the front wheel. Defy Advanced SL frameset: 228.4 grams lighter than the 2023 Defy Advanced Pro. New Defy Advanced Pro frameset: 153.4 grams lighter than the 2023 Defy Advanced Pro. New Defy Advanced frameset: 117.4 grams lighter than the 2023 Defy Advanced Pro. The new generation of Defy comprehensively improves stiffness, stiffness-to-weight ratio, and reduces weight. D-Fuse technology is a technology developed by Giant to improve riding comfort. Its name comes from the "D" shaped cross-sectional structure. This technology is mainly used on bicycle seat tubes and handlebars. Compared to traditional round seat posts, the D-Fuse seat post has a flat “D” shaped cross-section. This design allows the seat tube to be more flexible in the vertical direction, thereby absorbing more road vibration and improving riding comfort. Giant also brings us the new D-Fuse seat post and Contact SLR/SL D-Fuse handlebar this time. The new bent handlebar has a better ergonomic design and shorter reach. The lower handlebar also has an 8-degree outward design, which is more in line with the orientation of comfortable and endurance long-distance riding. Unfortunately, this bar only offers a minimum width of 40cm, which is still too wide for many users. The tire volume of the new Defy has been increased to 38mm, and whether it can be used for geared tires needs further verification. The top-level frame is equipped with a CADEX 36 wheelset wit...

Santa Cruz has long been known for its mountain bikes and has produced some iconic Skitch mountain bikes over the past two decades, but their latest urban commuter Santa Cruz is a new concept for them, which uses carbon fiber to make its body more stylish and lightweight. Skitch uses Stigmata-inspired CC class carbon fiber frames (S to XL sizes), CC carbon fiber frames, lightweight motors and batteries, and high-end specifications mean that Skitch is light for an electric bike, with the entire vehicle weighing just 14KG and featuring a single matte olive green color scheme. FAZUA RIDE 60 The slick, light space-age carbon frame contains the 430 Wh battery and silent, frictionless FAZUA RIDE 60 motor. With three power modes available at your fingertips, you choose how much push you want and how much range you get. Customize your ride modes and access more information via the FAZUA app. 430 Wh 60 Nm torque 28 mph 60+ mile range The front fork was suspension corrected for the 40mm gravel front fork Santa Cruz reduced the head tube Angle by half a degree (69 degrees) and lengthened the rear lower fork, thereby increasing the wheelbase of the body. Santa Cruz has also stated that this is not the speed of a normal Class 3 electric bike, but has reduced the speed limit of the bike to 32 km/h. The device is the Fazua Ride 60 system, which combines a 430 Wh lithium-ion battery integrated in the lower tube with a central shaft motor that produces 60 Nm (44 lb ft) of torque and can travel more than 96.5 km per charge. Skitch is currently only available in the US and Canada, and its companion Apex Flat Bar kit starts at $5,999.

Pinarello is known for its boldly designed road bikes, but starting this year, the designs are back in the mountain realm. Since the announcement of the formation of the mountain bike team last year, the signing of Pauline, and the launch of the new mountain bike XC soft tail, Pinarello has never stopped in the mountain bike market. Recently, the brand launched the hard tail Dogma XC. Pinarello’s new hardtail version of the Dogma XC cross-country race bike will make its racing debut at the 2023 World Championships in Glentress. The Dogma XC Hardtail follows the release of the full-suspension Dogma in May. The bike is said to have been designed with input from Ineos Grenadiers riders Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, is designed around a 100mm fork, and features a very unusual bottom bracket shell. What’s going on with that bottom bracket? Just like its full-suspension stablemate, the new Dogma XC hardtail is designed around an unusual bottom bracket junction. A small strut connects the down tube to the seat tube, creating a third triangle at the base of the seat tube. Pinarello says this design improves pedalling stiffness. Asymmetric frame The Dogma XC hardtail also inherits Pinarello’s signature asymmetric rear triangle. The left-hand side (non-drive side) of the rear triangle is reinforced, which, according to Pinarello’s claims, enables the bike to counter-balance the forces put into the drivetrain for a more balanced energy transfer. The Dogma XC hardtail has taken this design even further, employing visible asymmetries in the seat stays and chain stays. Integrated cockpit The Dogma’s cockpit is made of carbon and features a one-piece integrated design and internal cable routing. To prevent the cockpit from damaging the frame in the event of a crash, the Dogma hardtail’s headset features an internal steering lock. Dropper post compatible With modern cross-country race courses getting ever more technical and demanding, it’s perhaps no surprise to see the new Dogma XC hardtail boasting dropper post compatibility. The frame uses a 30.9mm seat tube and has internal cable routing, should you want to fit a dropper.

At the beginning of 2022, Decathlon ROCKRIDER announced the formation of a factory team to compete in the Mountain World Cup, after nearly two years of the world's top field test, the original prototype tank one by one to achieve mass production, ROCKRIDER product line finally usher in an epic update - the new RACE series listed. In the hardtail product line, in addition to the top tank RACE 900, the positioning XC training, competition level RACE 740 mountain bike is obviously more suitable for the majority of mountain bike players,  in the market has a very high cost performance. Here is a detailed explanation of the upcoming "explosive" RACE 740 in the end. RACE 740 Vehicle configuration: Frame: ROCKRIDER UD stacked lightweight racing grade carbon fiber frame Front fork: ROCKSHOX JUDY SILVER 100mm BOOST 15x110 Drivetrain: SRAM SX EAGLE 12S Brake: SRAM Level double piston hydraulic disc brake Wheel set: Sunringle Duroc30 29 "BOOST cylinder shaft compatible with vacuum tires Outer tyre: CST C1846 29X2.25 Yellow edge tyre quasi-vacuum The new painting design of RACE 740 adopts pure and elegant blue as the color base, abandoning the transition color and double-side cut color painting of the previous series. The new design language of Decathlon XC competition family is more concise and vivid. The elegant blue painting of the whole frame not only brings visual refreshing, but also makes the car more elegant. It is in the color matching and logo and other details of the design have a higher level of style, ROCKRIDER in the past painting changes can be called earthshaking big changes, the sense of paint quality will have a more direct feeling after seeing and touching the real car, on the basis of consolidating the stable quality of products, Decathlon is more and more "on the way" in painting. The font of the "ROCKRIDER" logo in the upper case of the lower tube on the drive side is also more slender and exquisite, and the letter spacing is larger, and the new generation of logos comply with this design and are separated in the lower tube of the frame. The other side is also "ROCKRIDER" but the font is smaller, and the overall move up highlights the concise design style. The frame tube is marked with the vehicle model "ROCKRIDER RACE 740", and the square layout of the "RACE" logo has become a prominent symbol of the new ROCKRIDER competition level mountain bike, which is highly recognizable. Another major update to the ROCKRIDER RACE series is the upgrade of the interior track throughout the series, and the RACE 740 is naturally no exception. The romantic French brand finally no longer sticks to the outside track, and is more concise and beautiful in appearance, while reducing the weight of the frame, which must be praised. The full carbon fiber UD stacked frame (M) weighs only 1150 grams, and the RACE 900 top frame made of high-mold carbon fiber is only 20 grams difference, the frame is still very conscience. The weight of the vehicle is 12.5kg ...

According to foreign media reports, Decathlon will launch the B'Twin LD 920 E electric bike with automatic drive in September. The accompanying drive system is the Owuru drive system that Decathlon and startup E2 Drives developed over a three-year period. The B'Twin LD 920 E e-bike equipped with this automatic drive will be officially released under Decathlon's own B'Twin brand. The B'Twin LD 920 E e-bike was shown during Decathlon's annual "Showcase Innovation" event in 2022, and was originally scheduled to be released in spring 2023, but has now been pushed back to the official release in August, with no specific reason given for the delay. The drive system consists of two engine control components and eight sensors integrated on a single motherboard, providing a practical and space-saving layout in the engine bay. The powerful microcontroller monitors the performance of the entire 48W motor system, which is powered by a fully integrated battery with a capacity of 702Wh. The bike is assembled at Decathlon's own assembly plant in B'TWIN, Lille. All components except handlebars, brakes and pedals are developed in-house. The touchscreen display is integrated into the riser and can be selected in different modes, such as Eco, Standard or Boost. There's also a walking mode to make pushing a bike easier, and a built-in GPS tracker helps locate the bike to prevent theft. Weighing 26.1 kg, the urban e-bike, which comes in men's and women's versions, will soon be available in Decathlon's online and offline stores with a suggested retail price of 2,999 euros. An acceptable purchase price and reliable anti-theft protection are important factors. Continental introduced a similar drive a few years ago, but it was not a success. Although Decathlon is not the first company to integrate a CVT transmission into an e-bike drive, its B'Twin LD 920 E automatic drive seems to be a hit. This model offers powerful drives, requires little maintenance, offers anti-theft protection via GPS and mobile networks, offers different variants to a wide range of users, and is relatively affordable. A recent study conducted by Texlock and YouGov in Germany showed that an acceptable purchase price and reliable anti-theft protection are important factors for using e-bikes in urban areas Decathlon wants to offer people the opportunity to live car-free, in which autonomous drives make cycling more comfortable and facilitate the transition to sustainable mobility.

Lighter, stiffer, faster – but also better? At Glasgow’s UCI World cycling championships we had the opportunity to take a close look at Specialized’s latest all-purpose aero weapon, the Tarmac SL8 2024. Specialized officially launches the Tarmac SL8 — faster than the Venge, stiffer and lighter than the SL7, and all-new 'speed sniffer' head tube. Riding Specialized means riding superlatives, at least in terms of marketing. But is the Specialized Tarmac SL8 a revolutionary new take on road cycling? True to the motto “One Bike to Rule Them All”, Specialized continue to push the boundaries in an attempt to create the ultimate all-round racer. This time, however, the American manufacturer really means business, presenting what’s meant to be not only the lightest, but also the fastest bike in the peloton. To make this possible, Specialized combined the Venge’s head tube and the Aethos’ bottom bracket area. According to Specialized, the frame weighs less than 700 g and is also faster than the Venge aero weapon, which is admittedly getting on in years. With the release of the Tarmac SL7 back in 2020, Specialized declared the Venge deceased, and with it the era of aero bikes. Three years on, however, it seems that not all manufacturers got the memo. The trend of assigning different roles to bikes is making a comeback. The Factor O2 VAM and the new Orbea Orca focus on lightweight construction, while Scott’s Foil is aimed at speed junkies. Only Cannondale’s new Supersix remains true to its all-round roots. Sure, Specialized have the Aethos, but calling it a road bike is a bit of a stretch. Now the question is:do all-rounders still fit into the picture? The original point remains valid: while all-rounders are probably still the faster bikes, they’re inferior to the specialists in their respective fields. Perhaps, it makes more sense to follow the example of the Jumbo Visma pros and choose the best bike for the job, rather than opting for an all-purpose weapon. For hobby riders like us, the choice isn’t always easy, and very few of us have the luxury of choosing between several bikes. At first glance, it’s evident that the SL7 and SL8 are heading in the same direction. In purely visual terms, not much has changed, except for the head tube, which is now significantly lower. In times when every brand seems to have created a lighter, stiffer and, of course, faster bike, how do Specialized back up their claim? In a nutshell, they used the experience gathered in lightweight construction while developing the Aethos and mixed it with some “new” old aero know-how and the optimised carbon layup used for their latest road bike. While they were at it, they also improved the aerodynamics in three areas. The most significant and noticeable change is the head tube. As seen on the Venge and aero bikes from 3T and Cannondale, the head tube extends further forward. This ensures a pointier shape and at the same time allows for a cleaner transition from the top tube to the down...
