Endura Benita riding glasses

Endura Benita riding glasses

SO GOOD
The Endura glasses' flexible, easy to mould arms help provide a secure, comfortable fit that's tight enough to ensure they don't move about but not so snug that they'll leave you with a headache.

The rubber nose piece is flexible, and three vent slots either side of the nose stop it getting clammy. Lens clarity through the Benitas' photochromic lens is good and we like how quickly it reacts to changing light situations.

NO GOOD
Though the lens adapts quickly, it's darker than the other photochromic lenses on test in the same low light situations. It also has no venting.

PRICE 115$

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.

CANYON SPECTRAL AL 9.0 EX
