100% Simi gloves

100% Simi gloves

THE NEW SIMI gloves from 100% use perforated leather on the back of the hand for protection and a thin Clarino palm for maximum grip and feel, and look very similar to Giro's excellent Remedy Xs.

The cut is good, and we really like the oversized Velcro closure on the outside of the hand, which allows for a close fit. Padding in all the right places helps protect the back of the hand should you take a spill.

Unlike other brands that use clumpy fabric on the fingertips, 100% use a tech thread on the thumb and index finger for touchscreen compatibility, though we did snag the thumb fabric on ours on a gear cable, leaving us wondering how much longer it'll last.

The overall feel is great and there's enough protection on the back of the hand to ward off brambles without it feeling clumpy or obtrusive, while the thin palm with its perforations feels great on the bar.

PRICE 52$

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

Scott Stego MIPS helmet

Scott’s top-end aggressive trail helmet is only available with MIPS, as the Swiss brand were early adopters of the system. The EPS extends low at the rear without clashing with the retention system and the strap attachment points are external to the liner, maximising the amount of material around the temples. This is the closest-fitting helmet on test, with very little clearance inside the liner. Despite this, and although the Stego has fewer vents than some other lids here, we never felt too hot-headed. Scott spent time developing the ventilation system using a wind tunnel and it seems to have paid off. The thin pads don’t offer quite as much comfort as some competitors’, and while the short peak is removable, it doesn’t offer any height adjustment. Weight 340g Sizing S, M, L Price $180
