BOA PUSHES CYCLING PERFORMANCE FORWARD WITH ALL-NEW FS2 HELMET FIT SYSTEM AND SCIENCE-BACKED FINDINGS

Celebrating 25 years of innovation, BOA® continues to work closely with the world’s top cycling brands to enhance performance through superior fit in footwear and headwear, including the all-new FS2 dial platform for helmets—helping cyclists start better and finish even stronger.

• BOA Technology announces its all-new FS2 BOA Fit System for helmets, delivering a micro-adjustable, multi-directional Dynamic360 fit.
• BOA’s entirely new FS2 platform offers a 6% stronger hold relative to traditional helmet fit systems, a split yoke and forehead guide design for a custom fit across more head shapes, and a dial with 40% finer adjustment resolution with sub-millimeter accuracy.

Building upon its foundation of proven performance, BOA advances helmet fit in cycling with FS2, a next-generation dial platform engineered to deliver Dynamic360, micro-adjustable, multi-directional precision fit. With 40% finer adjustment resolution than traditional helmet fit systems, FS2 enables athletes to fine-tune fit on the fly with submillimeter accuracy.

Developed through extensive testing at BOA’s Human Performance Fit Lab (HPFL), the FS2 BOA® Fit System creates a more uniform connection with fewer pressure points, delivering a refined, personalized fit experience. FS2 Dynamic360 fit is defined by:

• Adaptive, low-friction, lace-based system that wraps the head evenly to balance tension and reduce peak pressure, resulting in a 6% stronger hold relative to traditional helmet fit systems.
• A split yoke and forehead guide design to lock in the occipital bone and stabilize the sides of the head, creating a true custom fit across a wide range of head shapes, while vertical adjustment allows for further fine-tuning.

“Unlike traditional helmet fit systems that concentrate pressure at the front and back of the head, we’ve developed a solution that is proven to distribute tension evenly around the entire head for a more secure, uniform fit,” says Dan Feeney, Vice President, Partner Product Innovation & Development. “We’ve spent the last several years building out a dedicated space within the Human Performance Fit Lab, with specialized equipment that allowed us to refine a helmet fit system that is clearly more adaptable, customizable, and ultimately fits more people, better.”

The new FS2 dial platform also incorporates 36% recycled content, reflecting BOA’s commitment to more responsible design without compromising performance. The FS2 BOA Fit System will debut in May 2026 in the new Specialized S-Works Evade 4 helmets.

“BOA’s journey started in Steamboat, Colorado, in 2001, disrupting snowboard boots by delivering superior fit, performance, and an enhanced experience for riders,” says Shawn Neville, CEO of BOA Technology. Twenty-five years later, BOA has now dialed in almost 300 million athletes and workers in over 80 countries, including 77% of Tour de France cyclists in 2025.”

For BOA, 25 years of innovation have been defined by a commitment to advancing fit and performance for the world’s top athletes. BOA remains committed to pushing the limits of human performance by delivering superior fit solutions that help riders fine-tune their gear and ride with greater confidence.

Sylo by Tifosi: Versatile Lifestyle Sunglasses Built for Real Life

Versatile lifestyle sunglasses do more than look great in one setting — they move seamlessly from the morning commute to an afternoon on the trail without missing a beat. The Sylo from Tifosi Optics was designed with exactly that kind of adaptability in mind, pairing a clean, modern silhouette with shatterproof polycarbonate lenses built to keep up with an active life. It is the rare frame that feels equally at home on a coffee run or a weekend hike.

Style That Works as Hard as You Do

Sylo leads with style, drawing inspiration from iconic lifestyle frames while carrying Tifosi’s performance DNA. Hydrophilic nose pads deliver a secure, comfortable fit even during active moments, making the Sylo a standout among versatile lifestyle sunglasses that prioritize both form and function. At $39.95 for non-polarized and $59.95 for polarized, it delivers a premium look at a price that respects your wallet.

Built from the Ground Up — Responsibly

The Sylo frame is built from Thrive, a bio-based resin derived from castor beans, which meaningfully reduces fossil fuel use in production. For the modern consumer, finding lifestyle sunglasses that align with their environmental values is increasingly important — and Sylo delivers on that without sacrificing an ounce of style. It is a thoughtful choice for shoppers who want their everyday gear to reflect who they are.

Thoughts => I like the fit and look of the Sylo. With its classic styling and functional lens shape, it provides just enough coverage without being overly large. The frame is lightweight and utilizes a durable plant-based Thrive material. The Sylo is comfortable, and like all Tifosi sunglasses, it’s extremely affordable. Perfect for driving, running, biking, hiking, etc.

FIDLOCK Wins Prestigious iF Design Award-Winning Innovation Legacy with New MAGKNOT Fastening System

Magnetic simplicity meets everyday functionality in FIDLOCK’s latest Award-winning innovation

FIDLOCK continues to prove that innovation can make everyday products smarter, easier, and more intuitive. The German brand, already recognized globally for its award-winning magnetic-mechanical technologies, has now added another major accolade to its growing list of honors, with the new MAGKNOT quick-lacing system recently receiving a prestigious 2026 iF Design Award.

For years, FIDLOCK has quietly been changing how riders, athletes, and outdoor enthusiasts interact with products through magnetic-mechanical technology. From the hugely popular TWIST bottle system to the self-sealing HERMETIC hydration bladder and PINCLIP mounting technology, the company has built a reputation for turning small, everyday interactions into surprisingly satisfying experiences.

FIDLOCK’s MAGKNOT system replaces traditional shoelace tying with a fast, magnetic-mechanical closure that simply clicks into place. Bring the two ends together, hear the snap, and you’re done. No knots, no fiddling, no loose laces.

Unlike many alternative quick-lace systems, MAGKNOT can be added to almost any existing shoe without tools or special integration from footwear brands. It retrofits easily, allowing consumers to upgrade their current shoes in seconds.

The iF Design Award jury recognized MAGKNOT for combining intuitive operation, thoughtful ergonomics, inclusive usability, and clean functional design. The system was specifically praised for its accessibility, particularly for older users or those with limited mobility or dexterity. Its one-handed operation and automatic tension adjustment make it easier to achieve a secure fit without constant readjustment.

“Winning another major design award reinforces what FIDLOCK has stood for from the beginning,” said Joachim Fiedler, founder of FIDLOCK. “We believe great design should feel intuitive, solve real-world problems, and improve the experience for everyone using it.”

That philosophy has helped FIDLOCK technologies spread well beyond cycling. Today, their magnetic-mechanical systems are integrated into products across the outdoor, sports, moto, photography, travel, and lifestyle markets. Brand partners benefit from solutions that improve usability and product interaction, while consumers benefit from products that simply work better in real-world situations.

Whether it’s securing a bottle to a bike without a traditional cage, creating self-sealing waterproof storage, simplifying hydration access, or now rethinking how shoes fasten, FIDLOCK continues to focus on innovation that feels natural rather than complicated.

The company’s growing list of design and innovation awards highlights how its technologies are resonating across industries. Recent award-winning innovations include:

• PINCLIP mounting technology
• TWIST Hip Belt system
• HERMETIC self-sealing hydration bladder
• Action Cam PINCLIP mount
• MAGKNOT quick-lacing system

Founded in Hanover, Germany, FIDLOCK now holds more than 700 patents and distributes products in approximately 40 countries worldwide.

RSVR Hydration

The RSVR System is not a conventional hydration bladder; it is a body-integrated performance system. By prioritizing aerodynamics, weight reduction, thermal management, and adaptability, RSVR sets a new standard for how hydration supports endurance performance.

Most hydration bladders on the market were designed decades ago and simply adapted for modern use. They are bladder-in-a-bag designs that prioritize storage over performance, resulting in excess bulk, sloshing, inefficient storage, unnecessary weight, and the need for removal for refilling or cleaning. RSVR takes a fundamentally different approach.

• Patent-Pending Aerodynamic Design – Three-piece bladder contour conforms to the user’s back, minimizing standoff and reducing drag.
• Anti-Slosh Baffles – Multiple internal baffles limit side-to-side fluid movement while maintaining a slim profile.
• Optional Insulator Sleeve (Free for backers) – A lightweight insulator sleeve with a high-flow mesh back panel can be easily added to the reservoir.
• Optimized Storage Efficiency – Ergonomically shaped bladder stores more fluid in less space compared to conventional designs.
• Lightweight Construction – Lighter than all competitors; the RSVR harness with a 1.8L bladder weighs only 320 grams (0.7 lbs).
• Soft touch back panel – A minimal soft-touch back panel keeps film off your back while maintaining a secure fit and nominal stand-off. An optional insulator sleeve with a high-flow mesh back panel can be added.
• TRU Zip Waterproof Closure with Instant Refill Capability – Directly refill or add electrolytes while on the go; no removal required. Also allows easy access for cleaning.
• Hydrophobic Materials – Resist sweat absorption, reducing added water weight, and are easily wiped clean.
• HeatSync Technology – Direct fluid contact with the body can aid in active recovery with added ice or pre-chilled units to cool athletes down.
• Real-Time Fluid Monitoring – Provides intuitive visibility and tactile feedback for water levels.
• Configurable System – Capacity, features, and setup can be tailored to your environment. Combine an RSVR front vest with a 2.8L bladder for a full-day out, or go light with our front harness and 1.8L bladder. You bring exactly what you need for your adventure.
• Under-Arm Hose Routing – Optimized hands-free bite valve access and minimized drag compared to over-the-shoulder designs.

Tailwind Nutrition Partners with The Conservation Alliance for Trail, Land, and Open Space Access

Philanthropic donations transcend Earth Week with a prolonged giveback program

Tailwind Nutrition, the leading provider of simple and complete nutrition products, has partnered with The Conservation Alliance to support the mission of protecting North America’s wild places. Tailwind Nutrition will donate ten percent of sales of its new Mango Yuzu Endurance Fuel to the Conservation Alliance.

Tailwind Nutrition has historically provided philanthropic donations to organizations that support access to the outdoors, including the American Hiking Society, Durango Devo, Durango Trails, and Silver Stallion Bicycle & Coffee Works. As a member of The Conservation Alliance’s Business Advocacy Network, Tailwind Nutrition recently donated 5% of net sales during Earth Week, April 19-25, 2026, to the organization. With the launch of Mango Yuzu Endurance Fuel, Tailwind will extend its giveback program beyond Earth Week to further The Conservation Alliance’s goals.

“When we think about why Tailwind Nutrition exists, the answer always starts in the same place: the outdoors,” explains Jenny Vierling, co-founder of Tailwind Nutrition. “Every product Tailwind produces is intended for people who feel most alive outside, whether on a trail, a gravel road, or a mountain top. We are proud to support the work of The Conservation Alliance to protect wild places across North America and preserve access for all recreational users.”

The Conservation Alliance is busier than ever fighting against proposals to sell off public lands and new threats that face communities across the country. Partnering with brands like Tailwind Nutrition that share a value of preserving nature is critical for the Alliance’s movement.

“Partnerships like this with Tailwind Nutrition show how businesses can play a meaningful role in protecting the places we all depend on,” explains Paul Hendricks, Executive Director of The Conservation Alliance. “The Conservation Alliance brings companies together to support on-the-ground conservation and advocate for policies that protect our lands and waters. Since 1989, that work has helped protect more than 125 million acres and nearly 5,000 river miles. Collaborations like the Mango Yuzu release help turn everyday choices into real and lasting impact.”

Every scoop of Mango Yuzu Endurance Fuel helps power not only an athlete’s performance on the trail, but also the ongoing efforts to conserve and defend the outdoor spaces we rely on. It’s a small choice that contributes to a much bigger mission—keeping our landscapes wild, accessible, and thriving for generations to come.

3 Ingredients For Going The Distance.

• ELECTROLYTES – Tailwind’s Endurance Fuel formula contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to speed the absorption of fuel and replace what you sweat out.
• WATER – Tailwind Endurance Fuel maximizes your water absorption, more than drinking water alone.
• CALORIES – Tailwind Endurance Fuel uses dextrose and sucrose, which your body is designed to absorb, so they enter your bloodstream quickly without challenging your digestive system or causing stomach issues.

Thoughts => This is absolutely my favorite flavor they have ever released. It has a wonderful fruitiness and isn’t overly sweet or salty. The excellent combination of tropical mango and citrusy yuzu offers a blend of tart lemon, bitter grapefruit, and sweet mandarin. Immensely quenchable!

Hestra is expanding its bike collection with two new D3O-enhanced cycling gloves designed for long, warm-weather days on both road and gravel.

The Bike Guard D3O Long 5-Finger Glove is a lightweight, highly ventilated option built for sustained road and trail riding. It features D3O palm panels that help dampen vibration and reduce hand numbness on longer rides, paired with a breathable stretch backhand and a grip-focused polyester palm for confident bar control.

Across both styles, the focus is simple: reduce fatigue, improve bar feel, and keep hands comfortable on longer summer efforts.

The Spiro Long – 5 Finger is a ventilated cycling glove for XC cycling in warm conditions. The upper part is made of airy and durable Lycra, while the palm is made of durable stretch polyester with a suede-like surface that provides a good grip on the handlebars. A shock-absorbing gel in the palm provides comfort and helps prevent numbness during more technical cycling.

Delium Unveils Its Radial Mountain Bike Tires — Redefining Grip, Comfort & Control

New Rugged and Versatile Radial Models Available in Reinforced Construction Deliver Advanced Performance Through Radial Grip Technology

Delium Tires is excited to debut its all-new Radial mountain bike tire models at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, CA, from April 16–19. We invite you to visit us at Booth M115 during the event to see the new Radial lineup firsthand.

Initially released in our Rugged and Versatile models with Reinforced construction, these radial tires set a new benchmark for traction, comfort, and control. Available in 29 x 2.5 and 27.5 x 2.5 sizes, they are specifically engineered to meet the demands of aggressive trail, enduro, and e-MTB riders.

At the core of Delium’s innovation is Radial Grip, a performance-driven approach that unlocks three key advantages:

• Larger Adaptive Contact Patch: The radial construction allows the tire to conform more effectively to the terrain, creating a broader, more consistent contact patch for enhanced traction across varied surfaces.
• Built-In Damping: By enabling the casing to flex more naturally, radial tires absorb trail chatter and vibrations. This results in improved comfort, reduced rider fatigue, and a smoother, more controlled ride.
• Predictable Cornering: Riders benefit from stable edge grip and a consistent transition into corners, allowing them to maintain speed while increasing confidence and control in technical sections.

With the new radial tires, riders can feel the difference immediately. The bike tracks straighter, corners more predictably, and absorbs trail chatter, significantly reducing fatigue on long rides. It’s a level of ride quality that most mountain bikers have never experienced before.

Rugged Radial

Expanding the Rugged MTB tire lineup, Delium’s new Radial model features the same aggressive tread pattern, while delivering exceptional durability, traction, comfort, and control for enduro and DH riders.

• Tire size: 29 x 2.5 & 27.5 x 2.5
• Available Version: Reinforced Construction
• Technology: Triple zone casing, Tubeless Ready, Aramid bead
• E-Bike Compatible: ECE-R75
• MSRP: $85.99

Versatile Radial

True to its name, the Versatile Radial is designed for all-around performance, offering a perfect balance of grip and smooth rolling. The Versatile Radial is the ideal choice for riders who demand all-around performance and durability in all their mountain biking adventures.

• Tire size: 29 x 2.5 & 27.5 x 2.5
• Available Version: Reinforced Construction
• Technology: Triple zone casing, Tubeless Ready, Aramid bead
• E-Bike Compatible: ECE-R75
• MSRP: $85.99

Benefits of Radial tires

Unlike conventional bias-ply tires, which use overlapping diagonal layers, radial tires feature plies arranged perpendicular (90°) to the direction of travel. This advanced construction allows the tread and sidewalls to operate independently, unlocking a combination of speed, comfort, and cornering stability that conventional MTB tires cannot match.

Fox Racing introduces the all-new Flexair Mountain Bike Collection. The all-new Flexair includes men’s and women’s jerseys, pants, shorts, and gloves.

Redesigned from the ground up, the all-new Flexair pushes the pace for both trail riders and between-the-tape racers. The familiar, articulated slim, tapered fit is body-mapped to maximize mobility in the rider’s attack position.

• Flexair LS Jersey – When you’re blasting through that gnarly overgrown trail, the Flexair Long Sleeve Jersey is right there with you, bringing some legendary Fox energy to your trail exploration. Made from Polartec Power Dry fabric, it’s got that sought-after Flexair breathability to keep you cool, TruDri sweat-wicking ability, and construction details like the slit hem that’ll ensure total mobility to dodge on a dime.

As the name suggests, Flexair leverages the technological advantages of its fabric choices, including Power Dry jersey fabric and super-light ripstop fabric in the bottoms, to enhance mobility and breathability.

• Flexair Shorts – The ultimate in speed and performance, Flexair Shorts are incredibly lightweight and comfortable. Constructed using TruMotion all-way stretch fabric, they rapidly wick perspiration and flex to give you a feeling of freedom unlike any mountain bike short you’ve ever worn. Strategically placed laser-cut perforations increase comfort further by providing exceptional breathability, while the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish sheds moisture, dirt, and debris as you ride. With their easy-adjust Race-ratchet closure and phone/pass pocket, those looking for reliable, all-day riding comfort need look no further than Flexair mountain bike shorts.

Both shorts and pants feature an increased rise and a bonded waistband to minimize slip and ensure secure, all-day comfort.

Following in the footsteps of its Purevue Goggles, Fox Racing will be releasing its first-ever sunglasses next spring. The VUE Eyewear utilizes VIVID lens technology, which enhances vision in flat light.

It’s performance eyewear designed for the trail.
