This week on The Weekly Recharge, Honda reveals new details about its upcoming RN0 eMTB, including an upgraded Shimano EP8 mid-drive with up to 100Nm of torque and 750W of peak power, a carbon frame, Fox Factory suspension, and Shimano Di2 electronic shifting.
We also cover a RockShox stop-ride notice affecting certain ZEB suspension forks, while historic Italian bike brand Bianchi has entered a restructuring process as it works through significant financial challenges.
