DMR V12 pedals


SO GOOD
The wider 95mm platform, 10 pins per side and concave shaping mean the new V12s don’t disappoint when it comes to grip. We’re big fans of the price too, which makes the build quality and 422g weight even more impressive. Though the 95mm platform isn’t the widest on paper, because the pedal body doesn’t sit tight to the crank arm, there’s space to accommodate wider feet.

NO GOOD
After a couple of knocks, two pins have loosened off. Because they’re the grub screw type and the heads have filled up with mud, they’re tricky to tighten up properly.

PRICE 70$

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.
