Lizard Skins Monitor 2.0 gloves


SO GOOD
The fit of the Monitors is really quite impressive. They’re snug but not overly so, giving a secure feel without being uncomfortable. They’re also reinforced in all the right places, with additional padding across the base of the fingers – which does offer some protection when riding really rough trails – and at the heel of the palm. The small conductive touchscreen patch on the index finger is handy too.

NO GOOD
Not all of our testers were keen on the old-school look of the Monitors, and not everyone will like the additional layer of material at the base of the fingers, which can take some time to get used to.

PRICE 45$

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

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.

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.

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.
