Made from 4-way stretch, Bluesign-approved UPF 50+ fabric, the tailoring of stretch-fit panels around the body, side panels and waist negates the need for a fly opening.

The letter from Lappartient is the latest sign of the evident backlash against the government’s insistence that Russian and Belarusian athletes – and support staff – must sign a separate written declaration that they do not, and will not, support the war in Ukraine or the Russian and Belarusian regimes.

In partnership with car-body manufacturer Protoform, Ultima has harnessed monocoque-injected technology first developed in Formula One racing.

This sees a resin injected into a mould to create a structure from a single piece of material. The lack of joins is intended to reduce weight and increase safety in case of a crash.

The 500Wh size on the Standard Multipath has a range of 80km in Eco mode, 65km in Predict mode and 65km in Turbo mode, according to Ultima.

The Long Range sizes up to a 650Wh battery, which is claimed to achieve 105km in Eco mode and 85km in either Predict or Turbo mode.

Three models are available, starting from $4,099 and topping out at $5,999, giving riders the option to go for a high-end aluminium build or a lower-spec carbon frame for a similar budget.

An integrated accessory mount is provided under the top tube, SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger interface and a threaded bottom bracket.

The main point of difference between this bike and the aluminium Fluid FS is the carbon fibre front triangle. The rear end is the same as the full-aluminium bike, keeping the Horst-link suspension layout and alloy rocker link.

The material may be new, but the geometry, 130mm of rear travel, suspension design and Ride Aligned Design System are maintained.

New Carbon front end, same alloy rear

• Fork: RockShox Pike Select+, 140mm travel, 44mm offset
• Shock: RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ custom tuned
• Drivetrain: SRAM GX Eagle
• Brakes: SRAM G2 R, 4-piston
• Wheelset: WTB ST Light rims on Bear Pawls sealed bearing hubs
• Price: £4,999/$4,999

The key difference in the Fluid FS Carbon is the new carbon fibre front triangle. Norco claims a weight saving of 600g without compromising strength or durability, saying it’s tested to the same degree as the aluminium version.

Just as the Ride Aligned Design System tailors the geometry, the brand claims the carbon layup and construction have been tuned to provide the correct strength and stiffness for all riders and frame sizes.

Trail-ready spec and multiple build options

The rest of the frame is shared with the aluminium version, including the rear triangle, rocker link and suspension kinematics. Norco claims this ensures it shares the same suspension performance, regardless of frame size or material.

The new Fluid FS Carbon is available now in three complete bike options, C1, C2 and C3, as well as a frameset-only option.

To go with the RockShox rear shocks, all complete-bike models get 140mm-travel RockShox Pike forks, four-piston brakes with big 200/180mm rotors, long-travel dropper posts and 800mm-wide bars to maximise control of the tubeless Vittoria Mazza/Martello tyre combo.

Prices kick off at £4,199/$4,099 for the base SRAM SX/NX-equipped C3 model, rising to £6,599/$5,999 for the C1 range-topper decked out in SRAM’s new GX Eagle Transmission.

All the teams are on their brands’ top-tier groupset, with the exception of Team Coop-Hitec Products, who appear to be riding Shimano Ultegra. As we pointed out in our Shimano Ultegra review, it’s not much of a sacrifice because the internals are the same, Ultegra just weighs a little more.

The Tazer employs the brand’s signature JS Tuned suspension system, which uses two short, counter-rotating links.

The new bike is Intense’s first aluminium bike in six years. The American brand says it harks back to its roots, with the hydroformed 6061 T6 alloy frameset bringing the durability and aesthetics of its original bikes to the Tazer Alloy.

Intense Tazer Alloy Expert

• Fork: DVO Diamond E3, 160mm
• Shock: DVO Topaz E3 Air
• Motor: Shimano EP600
• Battery: Shimano Steps 504Wh
• Drivetrain: Shimano Deore
• Brakes: TRP HD-M843 Trail EVO

• Tyres: Maxxis Minion DHR II 2.6in (front), Maxxis Minion DHR II 2.8in (rear)
• Price: £4,499/$6,499/€4,999

Safety features include a GPS tracker, available through the Ultima app, and the Neutral gear setting that locks the cranks when the bike is stationary.

Intense says the new Tazer Alloy shares a similar geometry to the carbon-fibre framed bike, with head angles remaining similar around the 64-degree mark.

There are subtle geometry differences between the models, with the Tazer Alloy Pro featuring a 64.6-degree head angle and the Expert a 64.8-degree head angle for a large-sized frame.

Reach measurements appear up-to-date, with the Pro 465mm and the Expert slightly longer at 467mm. Chainstay lengths remain the same across the models and sizes at 450mm.
