READER'S RAMBLE: LUISA'S CLIMBING SPECIAL

With one of the most interesting Giro's to ever happen in recent memory, we thought we'd share Luisa Grappone's (Hunt in-house engineer) ride up the Passo della Borcola. While the Borcola will rarely headline in the Giro, it packs a punch that even the climbers will feel.

THE CASSETTE #17: ANG'S XC MIX

This week’s Cassette has is the first ever inclusion from a Hunt team member’s parent: Hamish’s mum. Since this week is all about XC, we thought we’d reach out to Ang to spin us a few tracks that she puts on for an XC MTB ride.

THE CASSETTE: DAN'S SEGGY MIX

#REDEFINEWIDE AERO TESTING: 50CAD BENCHMARK RESULTS

After much testing and analysis, here is the first release of data following our recent trip to the GST (Gesellschaft für Strömungsmeßtechnik mbH) as used by Canyon, in Southern Germany.

READER'S RAMBLE: HARD-MAN-DAN'S HILL CLIMB LOOP

For this week's Reader's Ramble, we could think of no better route designer than the local hardman famous for riding through just about anything... really fast...

READER'S RIDE: LEE'S SCOTT FOIL DISC

What better way to introduce our latest member of the Hunt staff team than not by introducing them personally, but by showing you their bike. Lee has joined us with a background in aerodynamics and working on concept project with the likes of Mercedes F1 racing.

TOUR DE YORKSHIRE CLASS: HARRY TANFIELD

The Tour de Yorkshire is done and dusted, but one rider making their mark in the sand is Canyon Eisberg rider Harry Tanfield. Claiming victory in the opening stage of the tour, Harry sent Hunt HQ energy levels into the stratosphere! Tanfield spent the day in the break, pushing the limits of the chasing peloton. Coming into the final moments of the 182km stage finishing in Doncaster, Tanfield’s rivals launched an early sprint to the line, but in a stunning display of class, it was Tanfield who came storming pass – all while sprinting seated!

GOSSE WINS AGAIN AT CANYON RADCROSS IN KOBLENZ (GALLERY)

Hunt-sponsored CX superstar, Gosse van der Meer, has won again on his tremendous return to form following his awful knee injury sustained during the UCI World Cup CX round at Namur late last year. Formerly racing within the traditional team structure of Tarteletto-Isorex, Gosse now rides for and by himself, in a joint effort of support between Bombtrack Bicycle Co and ourselves.

Whilst we don't have a race report available (although we'll be featuring Gosse in our On The Drops real soon), we do have some amazing photography from Canyon's RADCROSS event in Koblenz on Saturday.

ON THE DROPS WITH MAX STEDMAN (CANYON EISBERG)

This week's On The Drops comes from everyone's favourite smiley climber, Maximilian Stedman. Max has had a strong start to the 2018 season, already bagging a 6th place in a (very) hard Chorley GP. Following victory in the UCI 2.2 Tour of Quanzhou Bay in December 2017, Max is clearly carrying good long-term form, so is one to watch ongoing. Speaking from personal experience, however, he's not a good rider to draft behind.
