The 2026 Drivetrain Shootout & Trek Check-Out First Impressions

This week, Velo tech editor Josh Ross dives deep into the "Big Four" road groupsets. After months of testing SRAM Red AXS, Shimano Dura-Ace, Campagnolo Super Record 13, and the TRP Vistar // Classified partnership, Josh argues that the "best" groupset doesn't exist—only the one that fits your personality. We also discuss: Trek Check-Out: Lisa gives her early impressions of Trek’s genre-bending new gravel platform. Pro Safety: The fallout of the 100kph Alula Tour crash and the debate over peloton speed limits. Listener Q&A: We answer your questions on everything from aero bras to the struggle of skin suits.
