Truflo Mountain CNC Flex Mini Pump


SO GOOD…
We’re big fans of the Truflo’s flexible pump head, which can be swapped between Presta and Schrader fittings with a simple quarter turn, and it works well on both valve types too. At 245mm long it’s easy to stow, the alloy body feels like it’s built to last and we like the rubber cap to keep dirt out of the head. Though the air volume is small, there’s little resistance in the pumping action so it’s not exactly tiring.

NO GOOD…
The small air volume did mean we only reached 7.4psi in the 100-stroke test. This means you’ll be sat trailside for a bit longer if you get a puncture.

PRICE: 47$

While Ryanair or Easyjet will never be bywords for glamour, at least your bike can fly in style with the new EVOC Bike Bag Pro.

Alpinestars Stratus gloves

The Stratus gloves from Alpinestars offer a decent amount of protection from the cold and wet without compromising control at the bars.

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

iXS Asper BC shorts

THEY AREN’T CHEAP, but these well made and feature packed shorts are the epitome of classic mountainbike-specific functionality, and on the bike they don’t disappoint.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
