The Musette is Cyclingnews’ weekly curation of the world’s best cycling gear. Here, we’ll take a look at pro-level equipment, bikes and components, alongside some of the most desirable clothing and newest accessories in the world of cycling. 

It's been a bit of an action-packed week at Cyclingnews keeping up with the number of new bikes being announced recently. Orbea kicked things off with the release of their new Orca 2021 range and followed up three days later with a new Avant budget endurance bike. But it was Specialized that stole the show, releasing it's new Tarmac SL7, simultaneously redefining the lightweight road bike category whilst killing its Venge aero bike range. Merida launched the fourth iteration of its Reacto aero road bike which impressed Aaron who shared his first impressions.

As the Tech Editor here at Cyclingnews, Josh leads on content relating to all-things tech, including bikes, kit and components in order to cover product launches and curate our world-class buying guides, reviews and deals. Alongside this, his love for WorldTour racing and eagle eyes mean he's often breaking tech stories from the pro peloton too. 


On the bike, 32-year-old Josh has been riding and racing since his early teens. He started out racing cross country when 26-inch wheels and triple chainsets were still mainstream, but he found favour in road racing in his early 20s and has never looked back. He's always training for the next big event and is keen to get his hands on the newest tech to help. He enjoys a good long ride on road or gravel, but he's most alive when he's elbow-to-elbow in a local criterium.
