Giro Pivot winter gloves

Giro Pivot winter gloves

SO GOOD
When the mercury freezes in the thermometer, these are the gloves you want to have on. They're the warmest on test and the soft leather palm stays stuck to your grips.

Despite being on the bulkier side, control inputs are precise and they never get in your way. The Pertex outer shell ensures they're extremely waterproof yet remain breathable while the subtle looks mean they're usable off the bike too.

NO GOOD
They do feel on the bigger side until you grip the bar. We could've done without the small gel palm section too, and they're pretty pricey.

PRICE 89$

EVOC Bike Bag Pro

While Ryanair or Easyjet will never be bywords for glamour, at least your bike can fly in style with the new EVOC Bike Bag Pro.

Alpinestars Stratus gloves

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

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.

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.

iXS Asper BC shorts

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.
