Campagnolo Record 13 Debuts as a Cheaper, Competitive 1x/2x 13-Speed for Road, Gravel and All-Road

Campagnolo has unveiled Record 13, a five-configuration, 1x/2x 13-speed groupset spanning road, gravel and all-road bikes, designed to rival Shimano Ultegra Di2/GRX Di2 and SRAM Force AXS. It’s priced well below Super Record (about £1,400/€1,600 cheaper) at £2,300 for 2x13 and £1,800 for 1x13, with a Nano-Clutch option on Record X for rough surfaces. Weights vary by setup (roughly 2,656–2,820 g across configurations; 2x13 road ~2,783 g; gravel 1x ~2,777 g), placing it between Shimano and SRAM on weight. The group uses Many Super Record design cues, stainless steel bearings, and is fully compatible with Super Record/Ultra upgrades, plus My Campy app integration. It also aligns with brands like Orbea and Trek showcasing Record-equipped builds. Power meter options add around £560.

Pogačar's dominance and Siena's gravel magic defined Strade Bianche 2026

Stephen Farrand reflects on Strade Bianche 2026: Tadej Pogačar extended his remarkable win streak with a dominant performance, Elise Chabbey won the women’s race in Siena, and rising star Paul Seixas signaled France’s next big hope; the piece also critiques the route’s double Colle Pinzuto–Le Tolfe loop for making the race overly selective and calls for a more balanced, 'al dente' course to preserve Strade Bianche's character, all set against the Piazza del Campo finish and the gravel-filled spectacle that defines the race.

Revamped Specialized Allez: A Bargain with Disc Brakes and Larger Clearance.

Specialized has launched a revamped version of its Allez road bike, featuring disc brakes and larger clearance for tyres. The Allez is designed as a "do-it-all bike choice for a road rider who is potentially just getting into the sport and who wants one bike for commutes, group rides and entering their first race". The bike is available in two spec levels, with prices starting at £1,100 ($1,200) for the base model. The new Allez is made of the same E5 aluminium alloy as the outgoing bike, but Specialized has tweaked its geometry, which is now the same as the Roubaix carbon endurance bike across the size range.
