One Industries Gamma DH shorts


THE GAMMA DOWNHILL shorts certainly aren't cheap, but the impressive list of features goes some way towards justifying the price tag. A moto style ratchet buckle keeps things snug, while the silicone strip around the waistline holds them perfectly in place when riding.

The tough material has fended off its fair share of crash damage during testing, but the lack of vents makes for a hot ride. The fitted cut is comfy and the shorts are pretty light considering their intended use. There's one zipped pocket at the back that's just about big enough for a smartphone, but having anything more than a lift pass in there doesn't feel good when you're riding.

PRICE  113$

LAPIERRE ZESTY 329

With all the fuss over 650b wheels being the next big thing, it took me a while to get going with this big-wheeled French trail bike – but a few tweaks on, I’m loving it. As you might expect of a sturdy full-suspension 29er for just over two grand, there’s a fair amount of metal mass here. The big, smooth-rolling Spank wheels set up tubeless with WTB’s chunky Vigilante front and slick-but-quick Nine Line rear tyres mean I only ever really notice the weight when I have to heave it over something or drag it out of the car.
