Road bikes are getting more and more integrated in 2026 but this Vook V9 might be the most integrated road race bike yet with a one-piece fork and handlebar. There’s also new road bikes and all-road bikes and endurance bikes with the launch of the 2026 Pinarello Dogma X, 2026 Cervelo Soloist and Canyon Exceed CFR gravel bike which is sure to start another MTB vs gravel bike debate.
We also take a look at 2026 Tour de France tech, carbon road bike wheels from Zipp as well as other interesting cycling releases and bike upgrades from the last month.

POC Cytal Road Helmet not bad at all
'The Vook is the only bike that's come out/coming out in recent years that has something special. I think we should stop questioning why and let manufacturers try new things and let the market decide if it was worth while. I have never broken a fork or bars in my life so that is not a concern. Also if you know your fit you should have no issues getting the right setup
Gimmicky for the sponges 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been possessed with the v9. Can’t wait for it to release
Why would Visma switch to the Soloist when its slower than the S5…
You're missing the point of the VOOK – YOU need to be fitted to the bike, not vice-versa. And let's face it, they really prefer you just park the thing in your garage so your pals can admire how cool it looks. Nobody cares if you actually ride it…perhaps it's better if you don't…less warranty issues that way. Just thinking about someone wheeling this thing into my shop to see if he/she needs a stem 1 cm shorter makes me glad I'm no longer in bike retail! AGGHHH!
Exceed CFR Gravel? I made myself one of these years ago from an old rim brake Trek 8000. Still hangs in my shop as a go-anywhere (with 50 mm slicks) loaner bike for visitors. Nothing new there.
Impact sensor in the crash hat? If everyone in the race had to have one and if it indicated instantly and reliably that too much force was involved, the rider would/should get instantly pulled from the race. Good luck with that!
I want to see who would wear any sort of airbag costume in July on a mountain climb in LeTour. Who?
Wtf is the point of putting more than 35mm tires on a road bike?common if you need that much get a gravel bike
You should check out Weiss with an intergrated seatpost
I'll never buy a set of hookless wheels, doesn't matter if they were incredibly cheap (which those 404s' aren't).
Thanks for sharing
Abus Gamechanger 2.0 looks best imho
Fancy Wheels with J-Bend spokes dont look cheap they look custom 😊
vook v8 costs about $1k and weight 6.9kg stock
We need to bring back replaceable stems this is getting ridiculous. By law all handlebars should have modifiable stem length and handlebar width
Era tanto tempo che non guardavo un video vostro sulla TV sul divano, ne è valso il tempo! Fatica ciclismo e amicizia, che figata
looks like an accident waitig to happen
Problem is that you can’t travel with bikes like vook
How do you change the bearings on the vook? For that matter how do they even install the front end period?
Incolor ssr mogs the vook
Vook bike looks AWESOME !!
