Ergon GE1 grip review
The GE1 grip differs from most by being specially shaped to fit the hand. So rather than a fixed, round diameter, the GE1 uses a slightly thinner zone under the…
Troy Lee Designs Sprint glove review
The Troy Lee Designs Sprint glove is a lighter, more trail-focused glove than the Troy Lee Air we've tested before.
RockShox Reverb Stealth 170mm review
The Rockshox Reverb revolutionised riding when it was first released, and since then the level of drop on offer has slowly increased up to the current maximum of 170mm, which…
WTB Riddler TCS tyre review
A beefed-up XC tyre but just don’t expect as much grip and control in wet.
Specialized Slaughter tyre review
Essentially a bargain for the performance offered.
Maxxis Minion SS tyre review
Secure cornering hold that comes at an earlier lean angle, which will suit riders looking for consistent grip
Onza Ibex tyre review
Not quite as versatile as other semi-slick tyres.
Michelin Wild Rock’R 2 Advanced tyre review
A great option if you’re regularly ripping tyres to shreds, and are looking for a planted, sturdy Alpine-ready tyre.
Mavic Charge review
Really hugs and tracks the terrain, making it confident and locked-on, in both wet and dry conditions.
Hutchinson Toro Enduro review
As a front tyre for shredders, the wider 2.35in Enduro version is pretty much bombproof.
Whyte 801 (2017) first ride
All the attitude of the amazing 901 in a more affordable package
Lapierre Overvolt AM800 Carbon electric bike (2017) first ride
Once at the bottom, it’s not a battle to cruise back to the top at 20kph and do it all over again!
Kona Hei Hei Race DL (2017) first ride
The Kona Hei Hei Race DL is the carbon-fibre version of the Hei Hei with Flex pivot suspension to save weight and cost. Slacker trail-friendly geometry for a short-travel 29er.
Osprey Viper 9 hydration pack review
The Osprey Viper 9 allows organised carrying and can be loaded up for all-day riding, but it works best when travelling fast and light.
Scott Shr-alp RS shoes review
The Scott Shr-alp RS is pretty expensive, but it’s lightweight, tough and a really capable shoe for long days on the hills.
Bontrager Lithos MIPS helmet review
A top-quality product, and the inclusion of a sticker kit to customise the go faster stripes is a nice touch.
Gore Power Trail Short+ review
The first short from Gore that’s long enough for proper trail riding, combined with a super-lightweight fabric and slim cut that’s excellent for warm weather days.
Hope Spiderless Crankset review
Offers fantastic performance and reliability and really does look stunning.
Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPA Pro 500 27.5 (2016) electric bike review
Cube expands its e-bike line with the new Stereo Hybrid 140 HPA Pro 500 27.5. It’s great value for money, but is the ride electrifying?
