McLaren’s crazy new e-bike, latest RockShox kit, bargain Lidl e-bike + more | The MBR Show

With a crazy looking integrated handlebar display, rhino-neck head tube, and massive power, the new McLaren e-bike is a wild machine! But the British supercar manufacturer and F1 team is not the only car brand to produce a weird and wonderful MTB over the years. We run through some of the most interesting models, from a Lamborghini e-bike with single-sided chainstay, to a carbon Lotus with links to a cold war missile manufacturer, via models from Porsche and Polestar.

RockShox has just released it's new Charger 3.1 damper for Zeb, Lyrik, and Pike forks, so we take a look under the hood to see what's changed, and how to get your fork up to 2025 spec. We also look at RockShox's new shocks, a clever new air can, and the updated Trailhead suspension tuning app.

Tweakers everywhere will love the new Geometron G1. With a gazillion different geometry, travel, and wheel-size settings to choose from, this radical new enduro bike takes adjustability to the next level. We run through how it lets you achieve all the permutations, and why this keeps the brand firmly at the cutting edge.

Finally we take a look at the surprising entry of Lidl into the e-bike market. And yes, we completely screwed up by saying it was Aldi all the way through, when it is, in fact Lidl. Anyway, this bargain e-bike costs under £2,500, yet comes with a Brose motor, internal battery, RockShox suspension, and a SRAM drivetrain. Check it out, along with all the other bits, in the latest MBR Show.

I really want to hate car companies making MTBs... but then I see the Polestar. Holy hell that is one of the best looking MTBs I have ever seen.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Allebike are nice but the Polestar edition is just on another planet, look at the details it's even more beautiful zoomed 4x 😂

Thought Martyn Ashton had defected from Gmbn for a second there

His hairdresser is moonlighting (no expert like)😅

That maclaren has definitely been beaten with the ugly stick, plus you can't alter the stem length.
It's actually designed by another company and probably built by that company. And if it's as reliable as its cars you won't be riding it too often. It's also mixed up in some patent dispute with a German woman who claims the bar stem screen combo is her design and has a patent pending on it, personally I think she's on thin ice there.

[@lenordchristopher6447]

Pish, you will have exactly the same buzz on a£300 bike; don’t be fooled by videos like this

[@Does_It_matter-No_it_doesnt]

Why are you promoting their joke garbage bikes?

[@MBRmagazine]

Damned If you cover expensive products, damned If you cover cheap products 🤷‍♂️

@@MBRmagazineThe Aldi ebike (available only online from Lidl) looks superb value with branded components. No damning from me. I’d certainly be interested in getting one! 😊
