Special ep: In For Review, May 2025

It’s time for the second edition of our ‘In for Review’ Geek Warning podcast. Like the first edition, this one looks to share some of the bikes we’ve been testing and the gear we’ve been enjoying.Plus, we’ve added a segment that talks about newly released products we’re interested in trying. And for those on the Escape Collective member feed (which as the name implies, is only for members), you’ll get a little extra as we discuss a few of the products that haven’t quite met the mark. If you aren't a member yet, you can sign up here.This episode is hosted by tech editor Dave Rome, and you’ll also hear Escape’s tech writers Suvi Loponen and Alex Hunt.Enjoy!Time stamps:3:30 - Van Rysel RCR-F aero bike14:00 - Standert Kettensäge alloy gravel racer23:00 - Dave was sidelined for a bit24:25 - What we’re enjoying using25:00 - POC Cytal road helmet28:45 - Women’s bib-shorts31:30 - Michelin’s road tyres35:30 - Alex’s introduction to cargo bibs38:30 - Feedback Sport’s Pro E-Lift repair stand43:30 - New products we’re intrigued to try43:50 - Suvi’s keen to test the Cannondale Synapse49:00 - New Wahoo computers52:00 - Boardman SLR 105 Di2 road bike56:00 - A new wave of gravel tyres58:45 - Member-only bonus section: the products that have left us underwhelmed1:00:00 - What’s with tyre logos not lining up?1:04:00 - Fizik’s entry into helmets1:08:00 - Dave’s expensive tool purchase
