Renthal Apex 35 stem review
The Renthal Apex stem is available right down to 31mm in length. At 110g it’s the lightest 35mm option we've tested and that helps justify the cost.
Race Face Turbine R 35 stem review
Race Face Turbine R 35 stem has featured here more than once, but I’m taking another look because it’s now available in nine(!) different anodised colours.
Nukeproof Horizon stem review
Nukeproof doesn’t specify which grade of aluminium the Horizon stem is made from, but it’s probably something like 6061-series, because you don’t get the high-grade alloys for this money. Not…
OneUp Stem review
OneUp doesn’t do names; this product is just called the ‘Stem’ and we’ve had the 42mm length on test. It’s a plain looking stem, but it does feature a machined…
Deity Copperhead stem review

Over the last few years mtb grips have become multi-textured, with numerous grip zones, traction ridges, dimples and knurling. They’re multi-textured to maximise grip with different parts of your hand,…
100% Glendale glasses review
When it comes to eyewear, having a large lens not only offers a lot more protection from trail splatter, it puts the frames further out from your field of view,…
Pro Bikegear Tharsis 3Five stem review
Pro Bikegear’s previous Koryak 31.8mm stem was 3D forged and then CNC machined. As the name suggests, the new Tharsis 3Five comes in the bigger 35mm diameter but is only…
Pro Bikegear MSN 1.3 Enduro saddle review
When it comes to bikes and equipment, Enduro racing has its own set of parameters and requirements, but do you really need an enduro-specific saddle? Pro Bikegear seems to think…
Topeak Shuttle Digital pressure gauge review

DMR Stage 2 MTB Rail saddle
DMR’s new Stage 2 MTB Rail is one of those new/old products. The shape and construction are identical to the brand’s existing Oi Oi saddle, but the company has wrapped…
Finish Line Easy Pro brush set review
If I had to recommend five workshop essentials, a good brush kit would be one of them. This is not because I really like cleaning my bike after a muddy…
HT Supreme pedal review
The HT Supreme starts life as a basic aluminium extrusion, which is then heavily CNC-machined. This trims meat from the leading edges and corners to boost clearance when leant over,…
Reserve 30 HD Wheelset review
