100% Speedcraft Sport sunglasses review
I’ll start by saying the 100% Speedcraft Sport are not sunglasses for the shy and retiring type. The style looks like it was dreamt up by someone with a penchant…
Renthal FatBar 35 handlebar review
We ended up liking the precise control and shape of the Renthal FatBar 35 handlebar so much that it’s stayed put on our own bikes.

Leatt DBX 4.0 UltraWeld jersey review
Leatt produces two distinctive jerseys, both with a decidedly gravity-based slant. The DBX 4.0 UltraWeld we have here is the stripped back, lightweight version aimed at warmer weather riding. For…
Specialized Therminal Mountain Jersey review
There are some items of ride clothing that feel ‘right’, and this is true of the Specialized Therminal Mountain jersey. In fact, the first time I wore it it almost…

XC racers will love the stable and stiff ride-feel of the DT Swiss X1700 Spline Two wheelset that aids the transfer of power so required from a race bike.
Bontrager Drop Line dropper post review
The Bontrager Drop Line dropper post is typical of the vast majority of Bontrager’s products — good value, well made, easy to use and fully serviceable.

Coming across like the love-child of a football boot and a 1960’s cycling shoe, there’s no mistaking the distinctive Giro Empire VR90 MTB.
Sweet Protection Dissenter MIPS helmet review
The Sweet Protection Dissenter plays second fiddle to the company’s top-end Bushwhacker, but it does have a similar in-mould construction.
Specialized Tactic II helmet review
The Specialized Tactic II doesn’t quite have the aggressive looks of the others on test, nor is it as durable; the lower edge of the EPS core is exposed.
Seven iDP M2 helmet review
The Seven iDP M2 helmet has 10 forward vents to suck in air, and nine exhaust ports to push it out again. A handy insect screen is built in too.

The Poc Tectal helmet is expensive but it is fantastic quality with a sleek construction, internal Aramid grid, bottom-wrapping and metal visor screws.
Louis Garneau Raid MIPS helmet review
The Louis Garneau Raid doesn’t quite extend down the back compared to most, but the Raid does feature a protective ring round the base of the helmet.
