BOA® Technology, celebrating 25 years of BOA® Fit System innovation, delivers micro-adjustable, precision fit, pushing cycling performance forward with new science-based findings, further proving system benefits in footwear studied at the elite athlete level.

Insights from testing at BOA’s Human Performance Fit Lab (HPFL) reinforce the value of superior fit across disciplines. Compared to traditional shoelaces, road cyclists and mountain bikers see the BOA Fit System’s benefits of improved speed, power transfer, energy efficiency per pedal stroke, and increased stability and control on variable terrain.

The BOA Fit System with a BOA-powered wrap enables riders to achieve up to 3.5% faster speeds by allowing more efficient acceleration and delivering a net 3-watt benefit at the start of the ride and a 4.5-watt benefit at the end of the ride—greater than any aerodynamic differences between shoe models. During key attacks or sprints, riders experience a net benefit of up to 22 watts due to a locked-in heel and improved connection to the midsole. The secure, uniform fit also enhances stability and control, helping riders maintain higher speeds through varied terrain and long rides. These gains translate to 1 minute and 30 seconds faster times over approximately one hour of riding on a sustained 21.5-kilometer climbing effort at an average grade of 7.5%.

“BOA’s research buildsresearch builds on years of foundational work at the Human Performance Fit Lab, where we’ve consistently demonstrated the impact of fit on performance,” says Dan Feeney, PhD, VP of Partner Product Innovation & Development. “What’s new here is the application at the highest levels of cycling—where even the smallest gains matter. By locking the heel and connecting the midfoot to the sole without pressure points, BOA enhances how much power is transferred to the pedals. Because each pedal stroke is more efficient, this leads to measurable improvements that compound over the course of a ride, ultimately translating into meaningful time savings over the course of a race.”

Additionally, compared to traditional shoelaces, the BOA Fit System delivers:

• Road Cycling: up to 3% improved power transfer, up to 1.5% improved energy efficiency, delivering up to 3.5% improved speed, Downhill
• Mountain Biking: up to 3% improved power transfer, up to 4% improved stability & control, and up to 3.5% improved speed

“I micro-adjust my BOA dials, both in training and in races. When I hit a climb or start an effort, I tighten them so there’s no movement inside the shoe, just a direct power transfer to the pedal,” says Kasia Niewiadoma Phinney, BOA athlete and winner of the Tour de France Femmes 2024 on Team Canyon//SRAM.

(Golden, CO) – Revel Bikes is proud to announce the addition of Cam McCaul to its roster of sponsored athletes. One of the most respected and beloved figures in freeride mountain biking, McCaul brings a lifetime of passion and community to a brand built on those same values. McCaul has spent more than two decades at the forefront of freeride and all-mountain riding, earning his reputation not just through competition results but through an approach to mountain biking that prioritizes creativity, progression, and joy on the bike.

From Rampage to backcountry lines across the globe, his riding has long reflected a deep, authentic relationship with the sport. He is the kind of athlete whose love for mountain biking is self-evident every time he gets on a bike. That authenticity is precisely what drew Revel to McCaul, and McCaul to Revel. The brand was founded on the belief that world-class mountain bikes should be built by people who ride them obsessively, not by committee. Every bike Revel designs is an expression of that conviction, and the athletes the brand supports reflect it. The partnership with McCaul is a natural extension of a culture that has always valued substance over spectacle. McCaul described the connection he felt with the Revel team from the start:

“Aside from the bikes being insane, as soon as I cruised up to the booth at Sea Otter to hopefully meet the crew, I just had a good feeling in my gut that I was around people who love mountain biking as much as I do. There’s an energy around the brand that can’t be faked. They’re in it for the right reasons and they love this mountain biking thing the way I do. They’re constantly developing new amazing bikes, and I believe it’s a brand whose future is very bright. I’m so honored to have the opportunity to be a part of that!” – Cam McCaul

To start off, Cam’s Revels of choice will be a Ritual and the newly redesigned Ranger.

“I’ve been following Cam’s career since I was a bike obsessed kid, growing up in Alaska, and reading about him in magazines. When he reached out about riding Revel bikes, I was honestly pretty blown away.

Once that initial excitement settled down, we spent a lot of time talking about whether it actually made sense. Neither of us wanted to do something just for a headline or a short-term partnership. We were both focused on building something for the long haul, for the right reasons, and making sure we were genuinely aligned around sharing the stoke, building community, and bringing more people into mountain biking.

The more we talked, the more obvious it became that our values were incredibly aligned. It’s a huge honor to have Cam riding Revel bikes, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead. Now I just can’t wait to watch him send a Ranger farther than anyone thought possible.” – Adam Miller Owner/Founder

Revel’s athlete program has always prioritized riders who embody the spirit the brand was built around: people who are all-in on mountain biking not because it’s a job, but because it’s their life. McCaul fits that profile completely. As Revel continues to expand its presence internationally and push its product line forward, having a rider of his character and caliber representing the brand is a meaningful step.

• Sizes: XS–3X MSRP: $148
• Colors: Flora, Flora Sol, Flora Azul.

Biker Bib

Built on the style and popularity of our Biker Cham, the Biker Bib offers another option of waistband-free comfort.

Plush, buttery soft elastic straps and a mesh front keep everything in place while maintaining optimal airflow and breathability. The droptail back makes mid-ride bio breaks a breeze and offers a pinch-free fit. Large side pockets fit phones or ride essentials. A premium, low-profile, and anti-microbial Italian chamois pad delivers quick-drying, flexible cushioning right where you want it.

• Sizes: XS–3X MSRP: $148

• Colors: Noir

Explorer Jacket

A versatile, packable layer designed to move with you from the road to wherever the ride takes you next. 

The Explorer Jacket is engineered with durable, weather-resistant fabric that blocks wind and water. A helmet-compatible hood fits snug without pulling, and the chest zip pocket doubles as a stuff sack, so the jacket packs into itself for easy stowing in your bag or clipping to your kit — ready when you need it, out of the way when you don’t.

• Sizes: XS–3X
• MSRP: $128
• Colors: Azul, Flora Clay, Noir.

FOR THE WHOLE BIKE

Most bikepacking kits are stitched together from multiple brands that share nothing in common. EVOC’s new bikepacking collection is a modular system of waterproof, PFAS-free bags that all share the same straps and mounts, so they link together to your frame’s mounts or to a rack.

The set contains everything from an insulated food pouch to rear panniers. The collection was developed in partnership with Jana Kesenheimer, winner of the women’s Transcontinental Race, the self-supported ride across Europe.

The collection is split into two segments: Ultra are the minimalist race-level models that Jana relies on for competition, while Explorer is the everyday range with more features and options for touring, bikepacking, and commuting.

Both lines share the same straps and mounts, so you can mix and match between sets to best suit your needs. Straps come in three lengths to fit almost any frame and feature soft TPU rubber under the buckles to prevent scratches.

The new collection focuses on minimalist color options, so you don’t have to worry about clashing. All bags are available in black, and some are available in sand. If purple is your thing, check out the Seat Bag and Seat Bag Ultra models for the Violet colorway.

HANDLEBAR PACKS

Handlebar bags can be hard to mount and pack. EVOC’s new 5L uses a tool-free BOA dial and strap system that eliminates the need for a heavy aftermarket mount. The side-loading roll-top bag is perfect for packing bulky items that compress, like a sleeping bag, and can be easily removed if you need to head inside for the night. An exterior elastic cord holds a rain jacket or anything that requires quick, easy access.

Our favorite bag might be the Handlebar Pack WP 1.5. This is the bag that stays on the bike year-round. Big enough for a small jacket and the things you reach for on every ride, and fully waterproof, so your gear stays dry when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Run it alone or stack it with the larger bags if you need more room up front.

• MSRP: $150 (5l), $75 (1.5l)
• Weight: 330g (5l), 120g (1.5l)
• Dimensions: 35×17×15 cm (5l), 24.5×10×10 cm (1.5l)

TOP TUBE PACKS

The top tube pack comes in 1l and 2l. Both are easy to open one-handed, feature a pass-through charging port for handlebar-mounted electronics, and offer enough room for your phone. The interiors feature side mesh pockets for small essentials that you may need to access quickly. Both top tube bags can be lashed together with the frame packs via the shared strap system, or you can use common frame top tube mounts for strap-free installation.

Smaller frame sizes don’t leave much room inside the front triangle, so EVOC developed the 2L with Jana. The aerodynamic design minimizes drag, allowing her to carry additional gear while still accessing two water bottles.

• MSRP: $55 (1l), $80 (2l Ultra)
• Weight: 125g (1l), 140g (2l Ultra)
• Dimensions: 5×23×10 cm (1l), 5×45×10 cm (2l Ultra)

FRAME PACKS

Available in 1.5l and 3l, the frame packs give you the most room while still clearing two water bottles in the front triangle. They feature smooth one-handed zip access to a large main compartment, as well as slim exterior pockets for smaller items like cash or drink mixes. Inside, an adjustable divider and mesh pockets keep your gear neatly separated and easily accessible.

• MSRP: $95 (1.5l), $115 (3l)
• Weight: 125g (1.5l), 200g (3l)
• Dimensions: 5×30×11 cm (1.5l), 5×47×12 cm (3l)

MULTI PACKS

The multipack is our most versatile pack. Mount it almost anywhere: under the top tube of your full-suspension mountain bike, the seat tube of your hardtail, or underneath the down tube of a fully loaded gravel bike. It’s available in either 0.7l or 1.2l.

• MSRP: $55 (1l), $80 (2l Ultra)
• Weight: 125g (1l), 140g (2l Ultra)
• Dimensions: 5×23×10 cm (1l), 5×45×10 cm (2l Ultra)

SEAT PACKS

When fully loaded, seat bags frequently suffer from the dreaded bag wag. EVOC uses a small wedge that shoehorns around the seat post. This unique design is paired with straps that run underneath the saddle. This combination firmly affixes the bag at two points, which prevents side-to-side motion. The more you load it, the more the weight pushes down towards the wedge, locking the bag down even tighter.

EVOC offers two versions. Both seat packs are compatible with dropper posts. They feature an adjustable waterproof roll-top, reflective strips, a rear light strap, and elastic loops for gear that doesn’t fit inside.

The Ultra version is designed for racing. It uses buckles to shave weight and is available in both 4L and 7L capacities. If the Ultra is a rally car, the BOA line is for those who enjoy the small luxuries. It delivers similar performance at a small weight penalty, but the quick dials make it easier to load and unload.

EVOC has also added reinforced side panels to the seat packs, helping hold the bag’s shape and reducing the potential for bag wag. BOA straps also better stabilize loads as weights get heavier, allowing EVOC to offer them in larger sizes: 9L, 12L, and 15L.

• MSRP: $150 (Ultra 4l), $175 (Ultra 7l), $175 (BOA 9l), $200 (BOA 12l), $215 (BOA 15l)
• Weight: 290g (Ultra 4l), 360g (Ultra 7l), 530g (BOA 9l), 570g (BOA 12l), 600g (BOA 15l)
• Dimensions: 17×30×15 cm (Ultra 4l), 17×42×15 cm (Ultra 7l), 19×45×15 cm (BOA 9l), 20×50×17 cm (BOA 12l), 21×56×17 cm (BOA 15l)

SEAT BAGS

To match the durability of the bikepacking collection, EVOC developed the new Seat Bag Tour from the same waterproof fabric, with a water-repellent zipper and a Hypalon panel to protect the seat post from abrasion. It comes in M and L. For shorter days out, the Seat Bag Ultra keeps it simple. Clean, rail-mounted, and available in the ever-fashionable Violet.

• MSRP: $30 (Ultra), $35 (Tour M), $40 (Tour L)
• Weight:38g (Ultra), 97g (Tour M), 97g (Tour L)
• Dimensions: 7×13×5 cm (Ultra), 9.5×15×8.5 cm (Tour M), 11.5×17×10 cm (Tour L)

ACCESSORY POUCHES

EVOC’s new food pouch, known internally as the “burrito bag,” is stem-mounted and insulated. It’s the perfect size for keeping the aforementioned burrito warm on the way to camp or keeping that tall can cold. It also features an outside mesh pocket for stashing wrappers. Remember, leave no trace. EVOC also designed a down tube pack, which is a waterproof anything bag. It’s the perfect place to keep spare tubes, tools, and the like. This location often gets covered in crud, making it a poor spot for a zipper. Instead, a roll-top makes it easy to access your things while maximizing water (mud/dust/grit/ bug) proofness.

• MSRP: $50 (Food Pouch), $70 (Downtube Pack)
• Weight:90g (Food Pouch), 70g (Downtube Pack)
• Dimensions: 9.5×17×9.5 cm (Food Pouch), 7×30×8 cm (Downtube Pack)

FRONT AND REAR PANNIERS

When EVOC set out to build panniers, the team looked for the best mounting system available and even considered designing one in-house. They landed on KlickFix, fellow Germans, known as leading bicycle bracket developers, whose mechanical latches click on and off with ease. The collection includes a 4.5L fork pannier and a 25L rear pannier. The rear hides a padded laptop sleeve and mesh pockets, so you can race on Sunday and sell on Monday. It also gets reflective trim and removable shoulder straps.

• MSRP: $100 (Fork Pannier 4.5l), $110 (Rear Pannier 25l)
• Weight: 260g (Fork Pannier 4.5l), 690g (Rear Pannier 25l)
• Dimensions: 15×12.5×30 cm (Fork Pannier 4.5l), 30×46×16 cm (Rear Pannier 25l)

Whether you’re the fastest woman across the continent or planning your first overnighter, the EVOC collection is built to work together however you mount it.

The EVOC bikepacking collection is available beginning June 11th through quality retailers. HLC is the exclusive North American distributor for EVOC.

Re-engineered from the ground up, the new Ranger is lighter, stiffer, faster, and quieter than its predecessor, with 120mm of short-travel-optimized CBF suspension tuned for riders who like to climb anything and descend everything.

Revel Bikes today announced the launch of the latest iteration of the Ranger, a complete revolution of the brand’s beloved short-travel trail platform. This is not a refresh. It is not a tune-up. Every tube, every link, every bolt, and every line of geometry has been rethought to create the most capable and most playful Revel ever built.

Travel grows from 115mm to 120mm, but the real story lives in the details. The Ranger has been refocused as a true downcountry tool: a bike that pedals like a dedicated cross-country bike, descends like something with much more travel, and an updated look that you would expect from Revel.

“We left no stone unturned on this one. The Ranger V2 was already a fan favorite, so we took everything we loved about it, everything we learned from years of riding it, and built a bike that genuinely changes what a short-travel trail bike can do. Trails start to feel slowed down. Braking points get closer to the corner. Traction feels endless. I would go as far as to say it is the fastest and most efficient bike I’ve ever ridden. And when you want to get the wheels off the ground, the Ranger is more than willing to facilitate.” – Mike Giese, Director of Product
​
​”The new Ranger has been really a meaningful bike to bring to life. It is the product of everything we’ve learned over the past decade compressed into one bike. Ground up, no compromises, and no assumptions carried over. This is what a bike from Revel looks like when we start from scratch, making the bikes we want to ride, with no bureaucracy.” -Adam Miller, Owner/Founder

​Updated Geometry

The Ranger V3 features a steeper seat tube angle for a more efficient pedaling position, a longer reach to re-center the rider on punchy climbs, a slacker head angle for serious confidence on the descents, and a lower bottom bracket for that planted, in-the-bike feel that translates to better cornering, better braking, and more traction on every surface. Chainstay lengths grow with the larger frame sizes, so every rider, no matter the size, gets balanced handling that feels purpose-built.

Short Travel Optimized CBF

The first Ranger was designed in 2019 with an awesome 115mm of CBF travel. This new updated platform takes it to a whole new level. It’s CBF for short travel, reimagined. With a playfulness that you normally wouldn’t expect from a bike with 120mm of travel.

The new kinematic has been specifically refined for what a downcountry bike should feel like. The suspension is more progressive than the previous two versions, with a ride feel that the team at Revel describe as “air pillow on top, supportive platform in the middle, bottomless at the end.”

In short, small bumps disappear. Pumping becomes more productive. Huck-to-flats feel a whole lot less daunting. Under braking, the bike stays low and planted. On the climbs, higher anti-squat numbers pair with active suppleness at the top of the stroke to deliver the dream combination of pedal efficiency and maximum traction.

A New Look

The new design language of the frame is clean, modern, and sleek. The biggest visual change is also the smartest engineering improvement on the bike. All of the links have been updated, with the lower link living inside the frame. All of the suspension hardware has also been redesigned and thoroughly trail tested. The result is a more efficient structure with improved stiffness.

The boxier link shapes are stronger and lighter, and cable routing that is fully protected from trail debris and impacts. Larger tube cross sections add stiffness and strength while delivering a modern, sleek silhouette. Despite the increase in travel, the Ranger is noticeably​ lighter, stiffer, and faster than the V2, both up and down the trail.

The Quietest Revel Ever

Frame protection received a full overhaul. Soft, noise-eating chainstay rubber, durable impact-resistant downtube rubber, and a stout debris fender on the seat tube combine to shield the frame from rock strikes, mud, and rogue trail shrapnel. Co-molded internal guide tubes keep cables rattle-free. The highest quality bearings sit at every pivot. The whole package is engineered to be quiet, strong, and let riders forget about maintenance.
