Summary

Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this episode: https://feedbacksports.com/ In this week's BikeRadar Podcast, Jack Luke and Simon von Bromley discuss the biggest tech trends and talking points from the Traka 2026 – Europe's premier gravel race. The pair kick things off by unpacking SRAM’s dominance at the event, why aero gravel bikes with enormous tyre clearance suddenly seem to be everywhere, the proliferation of hyper-expensive top-end kit, chunky aero gravel wheels and more. For News in Brief, they cover Wilier’s new Rapida aero road bike, EF Pro Cycling’s wild Giro d’Italia kit, and a surprisingly detailed Lego road bike complete with a working drivetrain.
