Giro Phase helmet


THE PHASE punches well above its weight offering good value for money and looks good enough to create helmet envy out on the trails.

Giro's Acu Dial 2 retention system uses an indexed clicker wheel to let you get the fit just right, and while the straps are fiddly to set up, they offer a good amount of adjustment that should cover just about every head shape out there. The cradle at the rear can be adjusted vertically between three different points changing the pitch of the helmet and further helping you to get the fit you need.

Out on the trail, the Phase sits nicely on the head and the 27 vents deliver a steady flow of air, helping to avoid any unwanted heat build-up. The quality feel, removable peak and superb level of adjustment make the Phase a serious contender at a great price.

PRICE 100$

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.

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.
