Gazelle Completes the Ultimate Lineup with New Class 1 Models

Three New Models Expand the Award-Winning Ultimate Platform Across More Price Points and Riding Styles

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than a century, Gazelle has designed bikes around a simple idea: when a bike feels right, people ride more. Today, Gazelle is bringing that philosophy to more riders with the launch of three new Class 1 models, the Ultimate T10, Ultimate C5 and Ultimate C380, completing the Ultimate lineup across a wider range of price points and riding styles.

While the core Ultimate riding experience remains unchanged, Gazelle streamlined select components across the Class 1 lineup, providing riders the flexibility to customize their setup with a wide range of premium aftermarket component upgrades.

"The Ultimate series is defined by a sense of adventure and freedom, and these new additions bring that sporty performance to an even wider range of riders," said Mark Danhof, General Manager of Gazelle North America. "The Ultimate Speed models are built for riders chasing speed and commuting performance. These new Class 1 models are for the rest of the ride, more leisure and recreation-focused, still sporty and dynamic, but tuned for riders who want a natural, pedal-assist feel. These are some of Gazelle's bestselling models, now at an even better price. Together, the lineup means there's an Ultimate for however someone wants to ride."

One Platform, Built for the Way People Ride

The new Class 1 models share the same redesigned Ultimate platform, geometry and ride characteristics as the premium Class 3 Ultimate Speed models introduced earlier this year. Gazelle refines that balance of comfort and performance with a natural ride feel that's intuitive and easy. Recognized with a 2026 iF Design Award, the redesigned platform balances Gazelle's signature comfort with sporty performance, intuitive handling and a clean, integrated design. Across all models, the platform offers the same core Ultimate experience with consistent benefits designed for stability:

- An active but comfortable riding position for better visibility

- Wider tires, suspension seatpost and air-sprung telescopic front fork to smooth out the ride

- A clean, integrated design with internal battery (540Wh standard; aftermarket upgradable to 800Wh or Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender)

- Full Bosch Smart System integration, including the Kiox or Purion display standard on every model

- An optional smartphone mount via the new Gazelle stem's Intellimount, turning a rider's phone into an on-bike display

- For extra safety on the road, all models feature integrated deceleration brake lights. When the rider slows down, the rear light automatically brightens to alert traffic behind them.

The Ultimate eBike Lineup

These three models span a range of specifications and price points, letting riders choose the setup that fits how they want to ride. This versatile lineup is headlined by a brand-new addition to the North American portfolio:

- Ultimate T10: The most accessible entry into the Ultimate platform, best for riders seeking the most accessible, traditional eBike experience for everyday performance. It features a Shimano Cues 10-speed drivetrain and the newest Bosch Active Line Plus motor with an increased 10Nm of torque (60Nm), providing a more traditional riding feel with responsive support for varied terrain and daily use. (MSRP: $3,499)

- Ultimate C5: A brand-new model for the North American market, the C5 introduces a key balance of performance, simplicity and price, designed for riders wanting upgraded performance, extreme reliability, and hassle-free ownership. As the best balance of price and performance in the lineup, it features a Gates carbon belt drive with a Shimano Nexus 5-speed hub for a low-maintenance, reliable daily use experience. (MSRP: $3,999)

- Ultimate C380: The premium touring experience for those seeking total freedom on the road, best for riders looking for ultimate comfort and seamless technology. This model is smooth, quiet and fully integrated, featuring Enviolo stepless shifting and a belt drive. It includes the Kiox display with on-board navigation for seamless travel. (MSRP: $4,499)

All three models are available at Gazelle dealers across the U.S. and Canada. For more information, visit www.gazellebikes.com/en-us or www.gazellebikes.com/en-ca.

PhoenixAI Joins Cloudera as a Foundational Database Partner

PhoenixAI Cloud database engine to be available on Cloudera Anywhere Cloud ™ Marketplace, bringing sub-second real-time analytics and agentic AI workloads to Cloudera's user base.

MENLO PARK, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PhoenixAI, the Agentic AI Database, today announced a strategic partnership with Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere. PhoenixAI is joining as a foundational data partner for Cloudera's newly launched hybrid data and AI platform, and Cloudera Anywhere Cloud Marketplace. Through this partnership, enterprise customers can deploy PhoenixAI's high-performance cloud database engine directly within Cloudera's secure private and public cloud environments.

As organizations accelerate their adoption of autonomous AI agents and real-time decision-making systems, access to fresh, sub-second enterprise data is critical. PhoenixAI's inclusion in Cloudera's private and sovereign infrastructure offering delivers an AI-native database foundation designed specifically for high-concurrency, low-latency workloads while adhering to strict enterprise governance and data sovereignty mandates.

Speed, Reduced Complexity, and Enhanced Security

By making PhoenixAI natively available within Cloudera's ecosystem, the joint solution delivers three core advantages to enterprise engineering and data teams:

Sub-Second Speed at Scale: PhoenixAI delivers sub-second SQL query performance across live streaming data and historical lakehouse formats, sustaining high concurrency without performance degradation.

Radically Reduced Complexity: Customers can instantly spin up a managed database cluster in a couple of clicks via the Cloudera Anywhere Cloud Marketplace. PhoenixAI queries real-time and lakehouse data in place—eliminating mandatory data denormalization, complex pre-aggregations, or unnecessary ETL pipelines.

Enhanced Security and Enterprise Trust: Deployed securely within the customer's private cloud environment, PhoenixAI enforces fine-grained role-based access control (RBAC), per-query auditing, and full data sovereignty, ensuring sensitive AI workloads remain protected under enterprise security protocols.

Executive Commentary

"PhoenixAI was selected as an early foundational database partner for Cloudera's innovative private cloud initiative," said Andy Ye, co-founder and chief product officer of PhoenixAI. "AI agents and modern real-time applications demand sub-second data access without compromising security or operational simplicity. Partnering with Cloudera allows our mutual customers to deploy PhoenixAI's high-concurrency database engine instantly within their trusted private cloud infrastructure, enabling them to move AI from experiment to production faster than ever."

"Our customers want AI on their own terms, in their own environments (self-hosted or Bring Your Own Cloud) with data under their control," said Michelle Hoover, SVP of Global Alliances & Channels at Cloudera. "Through Cloudera's collaboration with PhoenixAI, we can offer them a real-time database built the way agents need it to work, with the governance our customers expect."

Experience PhoenixAI Live at Evolve 26

PhoenixAI will showcase the new integration and host live technical demonstrations at Cloudera's annual global customer event, EVOLVE26, on October 27, 2026, at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. Attendees can visit the PhoenixAI booth to see sub-second agentic AI query execution in action and explore how to instantly spin up cluster environments via the Cloudera Anywhere Marketplace.

About PhoenixAI

PhoenixAI is the Agentic AI Database, purpose-built to give autonomous AI agents sub-second access to live enterprise data at massive scale. The platform unifies real-time and at-rest data in a single AI-native engine, combining the speed and concurrency that agentic workloads demand with the governance and deployment flexibility enterprises require to put AI into production. PhoenixAI runs fully managed inside the customer's cloud platform of choice, or self-managed on the customer's own private cloud, or on their own hardware, including on-premises. Formerly CelerData, and the creators of the StarRocks open source project, PhoenixAI is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Learn more at phoenixdata.ai.

Founded by former Tinder and Match Group exec Taru Kapoor, Rivet brings people and community back into dating

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rivet, a new dating network, today launches nationwide across the United States. Founded by former Tinder and Match Group executive Taru Kapoor, Rivet introduces Social Matching, a model that lets people help each other find meaningful connections and love.

Rivet's Social Matching harnesses the collective intuition of people with different perspectives to surface introductions that people might swipe past on conventional dating apps. The company has raised $10.5 million in seed funding, backed by Peak XV Partners, Shine Capital and Blume Ventures, to build and scale their innovative people-powered approach to dating.

Users can join Rivet not just to find connections for themselves but also to help others find love. As a Matcher, one weighs in on potential pairs and recommends introductions one thinks could work. The pairs who get high Social Matching scores are introduced to each other, and each individual independently decides whether they want to match with someone and begin a conversation. Rivet is for everyone, even if you're not currently dating, you can join as a Matcher and can help someone else find love and meaningful connections.

In a national survey of 2,013 U.S. adults commissioned by Rivet*, more than two-thirds (68%) of Gen Z and Millennials surveyed said they would be interested in helping someone they don't personally know find a potential romantic match, if they could do so anonymously and the person made the final decision, including 78% of Gen Z and 60% of Millennials. When asked what would make them interested in helping someone else find a romantic match, the top motivations were helping someone find love (36%) and helping someone avoid a bad match (27%).

"Dating has always been social," said Taru Kapoor, Founder and CEO of Rivet. "I spent many years thinking what we were building was removing friction from meeting people. Instead, we removed the people. Online dating apps created millions of connections in the last decade, mostly because they expanded the pool, connecting people to those they wouldn't have met otherwise. A huge side effect of that was that they turned something as fundamentally social and human as dating into a lonely, overwhelming activity which felt transactional and isolating.

I built Rivet to change that. Rivet is built on a simple truth: humans understand chemistry and compatibility in a way that no algorithm can. You don't have to find your person entirely on your own, let people help you find your person."

Rivet's model is built around a give-to-get philosophy as Matchers help each other find meaningful connections, creating a community where people can play an active role in each other's love stories. "Social matching takes the best of human intuition and judgment and uses it to bring people together. It's not a feature, it's the entire point of the platform. Matchers win when two people actually match, which is what single daters want instead of endless swiping. It's win-win," said Kapoor.

Elie Seidman, former CEO of Tinder and OkCupid, and an early investor in Rivet, who advised and mentored Kapoor throughout Rivet's development, said, "The swipe was one of the defining product innovations in online dating because it changed the fundamental way people discovered each other. For the first time since the swipe, the category has something genuinely new: human judgment and a real social community built on the foundation of state-of-the-art technology, working at scale. That is what turns a dating app into a dating network, and it is a powerful, category defining shift."

Rivet is free to download on iOS and Android.

About Rivet

Founded in 2025 by Taru Kapoor, who spent nearly a decade building and scaling Tinder and other Match Group brands across the U.S., Europe and Asia, Rivet is a Social Matching and dating network built around the belief that human intuition can recognize chemistry in ways algorithms cannot. Rivet's Social Matching model brings community into the dating experience, with Matchers vibe-checking potential pairs before introducing matches. The individual always makes the final decision on whether to view and match with an Introduction. Anyone can join Rivet purely as a Matcher to help people find their person. Rivet launched nationally in the U.S. in September 2026 and is a product of MeantToBe, Inc., based in New York.

GLOBAL FIGHT LEAGUE SIGNS SEVEN-FIGURE LOI FOR FIRST INDEPENDENTLY OWNED FRANCHISE

Non-Refundable Initial Payment Helps Support Planned Q4 Proof-of-Concept Event in Argentina and GFL's Staged League Launch

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Fight League (OTC: GFLE) ("GFL" or the "Company"), the international team-based mixed martial arts league, today announced the signing of a seven-figure binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with investor and entrepreneur Ryan Brockbank for the rights to own and operate the first independently owned GFL franchise.

Under the signed LOI, Brockbank has agreed to acquire the franchise rights for a seven-figure purchase price. GFL has received and deposited a non-refundable initial payment toward the transaction, with the remaining balance payable in 2027.

The funding will help support an international proof-of-concept event in Argentina during the fourth quarter of 2026 and the league's preparations for its first full season of competition in 2027. Additional details regarding the Argentina event will be announced in the coming week.

GFL's four founding teams—in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and London—are currently owned and operated by GFL. Brockbank's independently owned franchise is targeted to begin competition in 2028, with its home market, team name and identity to be announced.

As GFL's first third-party franchise commitment, the agreement expands the ownership and capital base supporting the league's launch and long-term growth. GFL is also engaged in discussions with other prospective ownership groups regarding additional team franchises in other markets. While there can be no assurance that these discussions will result in completed transactions, the Company views third-party franchise ownership as an important component of its growth strategy.

"This is a significant milestone for Global Fight League," said Vince Hesser, Executive Chairman of GFL. "A notable, seven figure commitment has been made to acquire the rights to own and operate a GFL team franchise, and GFL has received a non-refundable initial payment toward that purchase. We believe this demonstrates meaningful commercial interest in the franchise model we are building for the benefit of MMA athletes, fans and GFLE shareholders."

"From the beginning, our vision for GFL has extended beyond producing individual fight events," said Darren Owen, Commissioner of GFL. "We are building a global, team-based sports property where franchise owners can represent major markets, develop their own rosters and fan bases, and participate in the league's broader economics. Ryan's commitment helps establish that ownership foundation, supports the league's launch and advances preparations for our first full season of competition."

Under the contemplated transaction, Brockbank would receive territorial rights in a market to be subsequently announced, together with the right to own and operate a GFL team and participate in revenues available to member franchises, subject to the execution and terms of definitive agreements.

Ryan Brockbank is an entrepreneur and business executive with more than 28 years of experience building and operating companies across construction and property development. His background includes founding and leading multimillion-dollar businesses and investing in substantial development projects.

"I see tremendous potential in what GFL is building," said Brockbank. "The opportunity to establish a team from the ground up and participate in the growth of a new team-based model for professional MMA is extremely compelling to me. This is a long-term investment, and we plan to build a first-class team that its community can rally behind. Not many opportunities arise to become a sports team owner, and I am excited to make this exceptional investment."

Additional information regarding Brockbank's franchise, including its home market, team name, branding, management and eventual roster, will be announced as GFL prepares for team expansion of the league in the 2028 season.

About Global Fight League

Global Fight League (OTC: GFLE) is an international sports entertainment company developing a professional team-based mixed martial arts league built around city- and market-based franchises. GFL's model is designed to combine professional MMA competition with team identity, localized fan engagement, live events, media distribution, sponsorship, licensing and franchise ownership.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Platinum Trade Alerts News Commentary - The opportunity is expanding across both luxury e-commerce and premium sports apparel, as consumers increasingly shop for high-end brands, performance clothing and fashion-driven athletic wear online. The global luxury apparel market is projected to reach $89.7 billion in 2026 and $106.1 billion by 2030, while the broader global luxury-goods market is estimated at $416 billion in 2026, with a projection of nearly $579 billion by 2030. At the same time, premium sportswear is becoming a major growth engine, with Grand View Research estimating a $126 billion global premium sportswear market in 2026 that could reach $174.3 billion by 2030. Companies on the move in the luxury and lifestyle apparel brands industries include Digital Brands Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DBGI), NIKE, Inc. (NYSE: NKE), lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ: LULU), On Holding AG (NYSE: ONON), Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UAA).

For e-commerce platforms positioned around luxury, premium fashion and sports apparel, the opportunity is much bigger than simply putting clothing online. Consumers are increasingly comfortable discovering, comparing and purchasing premium products digitally, while brands are using direct-to-consumer platforms to control presentation, pricing, customer data and repeat purchases. Global sportswear sales are projected by Euromonitor to exceed $500 billion by 2030, while other current forecasts put the broader sports-apparel market as high as $400.8 billion by 2031. That creates a huge addressable market for platforms capable of combining premium brands, compelling digital experiences, personalization and direct online sales.

Key growth catalysts:

- $416 billion: Estimated global luxury-goods market in 2026, projected toward $579 billion by 2030.

- $89.7 billion: Global luxury-apparel market projected for 2026, rising to $106.1 billion by 2030.

- $126 billion: Estimated global premium-sportswear market in 2026, potentially reaching $174.3 billion by 2030.

- $500+ billion: Euromonitor projects global sportswear sales will exceed this level by 2030.

- Digital advantage: E-commerce gives luxury and sportswear brands a direct channel for customer acquisition, personalization, product launches and repeat purchases—creating opportunities for platforms that can connect premium brands with increasingly digital consumers.

Digital Brands Group (NASDAQ: DBGI) Delivers 221% Revenue Growth While Cutting Marketing Spend by 78% - Collegiate Athletic Brand Achieves 3.65x ROAS as Weekly Net Revenue Rises 442% - Digital Brands Group, Inc. ("DBG" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company specializing in apparel and e-commerce, today announced significant growth and improved marketing efficiency across its collegiate licensing brand, AVO (https://shopavo.la/).

From August 1 through September 11, 2026, AVO generated a 221% year-over-year increase in revenue while reducing digital marketing expenditures by 78% compared with the same period last year. During the period, AVO also achieved a 3.65x return on ad spend (ROAS). The results reflect accelerating revenue growth alongside significantly improved capital efficiency.

Key Performance Highlights

- 221% year-over-year revenue growth from August 1 through September 11, 2026

- 78% reduction in digital marketing spend compared with the same period in 2025

- 3.65x ROAS, demonstrating improved efficiency of marketing investment

- 442% increase in weekly net revenue from Week 1 to Week 6 among universities launched in 2026

- For universities launched during 2026, weekly net revenue increased 442% from Week 1, representing the week of August 1, through Week 6, representing the week of September 5.

Building on this momentum, AVO plans to launch a completely redesigned e-commerce platform during the first week of October. The new platform is being developed by newly appointed board member David, who previously served as the growth architect at Vuori during a period in which the company experienced a 2400% revenue expansion. The redesigned platform is intended to improve key e-commerce performance metrics, including conversion rates, average order value, and customer engagement.

"We are encouraged by the combination of strong revenue growth and substantially lower marketing expenditures," said Hil Davis, CEO of Digital Brands Group. "The performance we are seeing across AVO demonstrates increasing efficiency in how we are acquiring and monetizing customers. With the launch of the redesigned e-commerce platform in October, we believe there is an opportunity to further improve conversion and marketing efficiency. Our target is to achieve a 5x ROAS, which would provide a foundation to scale digital advertising investment alongside revenue."

AVO's recent performance demonstrates the potential for revenue growth without a corresponding increase in marketing expenditure. The combination of higher revenue, lower customer-acquisition spending, and improving ROAS provides DBG with an opportunity to increase marketing investment as the business demonstrates additional operating leverage. The Company believes the October e-commerce platform launch represents another potential catalyst for improving conversion, average order value, and customer engagement.

Backed by Eclipse and 8VC, the company is building a new approach to natural disaster response, integrating AI, software, hardware, and operations into mission-critical systems, beginning with wildfire suppression.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Prime Minute, the first company to build a global resilience prime, emerged from stealth today with $15 million in pre-seed funding led by Eclipse, with participation from 8VC. The company's first offering addresses one of the most urgent challenges facing emergency responders today: rapid initial attack against wildfires, in all conditions, before they escalate out of control.

Natural disasters are becoming more frequent, costly, and operationally complex, placing increasing strain on the systems responsible for protecting our communities and critical infrastructure. Wildfires alone contribute an estimated $424 billion in annual damages across the United States, and the earliest moments of an incident often determine whether a fire is quickly contained or grows into a major disaster. Yet, critical gaps remain in integrating detection, coordination, and wildfire suppression capabilities.

Drawing on technologies and operational approaches historically reserved for national security missions, Prime Minute's system combines real-time intelligence, AI-assisted mission analysis, and precision aerial suppression capabilities to help responders assess conditions, coordinate resources, and take action earlier, no matter the condition. The technology is designed to enable response when traditional suppression methods are unavailable: During high winds, nighttime incidents, degraded visual environments, and when ground crews cannot access the scene.

"Natural disasters are among the most urgent national security challenges we face today," said Gabe Sganga, Chief Growth Officer and Prime Minute co-founder. "Yet, we still mobilize most resources after the damage is done. The first hour of an incident often determines its ultimate impact. Prime Minute was built to close that gap, giving responders the tools to detect threats sooner, assess them faster, and act when every second counts."

Founded by leaders with experience across public service, aerospace, and national security, the team includes former operators and technology leaders from organizations including Palantir, Forterra, and Datorios. Their experience building and deploying systems in complex operational environments requiring rapid decision-making, coordination, and execution shaped Prime Minute's approach to disaster response. The company focuses on identifying critical operational gaps, building technologies around real-world mission capability gaps, and helping responders act more effectively when minutes determine outcomes.

"Natural disasters are among the greatest threats to our communities, economy, and critical infrastructure," said Lior Susan, founder and CEO of Eclipse. "Meeting that challenge requires more than another point solution. Prime Minute is building an end-to-end system that brings together technology and operations to help responders act faster and more effectively. Starting with wildfire response, the team is laying the foundation for the future of infrastructure resilience."

The funding will support continued technology development, building out local manufacturing, team expansion, testing and validation activities, and the advancement of Prime Minute's broader resilience efforts. The company is working with the State of Colorado to deploy prototypes for field evaluation of its wildfire suppression capability later this year.
