When we heard that Nicolai were building a World Cup bike based on their brash Geomotron, we expected a behemoth. What Jack Reading brought round...
The Alpine 6 is the latest evolution of Orange's hard hitting enduro bike - it just keeps getting better.
Packed with features and with an excellent fit, the Bontrager Lithos MIPS has hit the spot as a trail helmet.
The 29 inch wheeled trail bike from Orange has come of time - this Stage 5 is a finely tuned machine.
Mid travel with 27.5" wheels and sublime geometry and sizing adds up to making the T-130 a real gem.
Excellent value and now very much proven carbon rimmed wheels from Zelvy. Custom options with choices of hubs and colours.
Fast rolling hubs, an up-to-date rim and a quality build add up to a top class DH wheelset.
It may be getting expensive but the Fox 36 is still the single crown fork to beat. An awesome performer.
Lightweight, durable and with an excellent cut, these Specialized shorts are our current favourite for trail riding.
Want to pack one helmet in your bikepark or road trip kitbag? The Giro Switchblade is definitely worth checking out.
