Giro Chamber shoes


THE CHAMBER ISN’T cheap but it’s so versatile it’s a great investment for all sorts of riding. As you’d expect from a DH shoe designed with Aaron Gwin, it syncs brilliantly with platform clipless pedals, with plenty of grip and broad support for traction feedback. It’s comfy to walk in without any cleat clatter and reasonably weatherproof too.

It’s when you put pressure through the pedals that it really stands out from other BMX style shoes though, with a stiffness that’s easily as good as most trail shoes.

There are no obvious pressure points from the laces or the wrapover strap and it’s light enough to wear all day. Our long-term sets are holding up fine despite continuous wear too, making these shoes a great investment for all-round riding.

Ever fancied a fat bike but were worried about its lack of agility, flickability and general playfulness? Surly’s “26+”   wheeled bike could well be the answer, combining wide 26in hoops with huge 2.75in tyres. We hit the trails to find out just what the Instigator 2.0 is all about.

SPECIALIZED P.STREET 2

S pecialized’s P.Series bikes have been much loved hardcore/ jump hybrid contenders for years and this 2014 nugget is no exception. If you’re after a really well priced and well sorted complete bike package for jump, street and even better-groomed trail centre action then the P.Street is outstanding. Its rock solid responsiveness and short-stroke fork make it seriously unforgiving on rougher trails though.
