First Ride Review: Giro Manifest Spherical Helmet -
The Giro Manifest helmet, according to the review, might be the best mountain bike helmet made by Giro in terms of versatility, breathability, features, and safety. The helmet incorporates the brand’s Spherical MIPS system that reduces rotational forces on the brain in the event of a crash, and the helmet’s design promotes airflow over the head, improving comfort and cooling. The Manifest helmet is fitted with features such as grippers for glasses, an adjustable visor and a FidLoc connector.

New Lightweight E-Bike Motor | TQ Drive System | Contender Bicycles -
The video review is about the TQ motor system found in lightweight off-road bikes which offers quick kicks due to its mid-drive system. While it may not have as much torque as other e-bikes, its lower torque levels do make it quieter and feel more natural, similar to a regular bike. It's lighter than most Hub Drive systems and mid-drive systems, making it ideal for those who value less weight. It also includes features such as a display on the top tube and an app to customize the display.
