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.

The multi-panel shell is made from a durable ripstop fabric that shrugs off the typical UK trail splash that hangs around even in high summer. It’s mesh lined throughout, with a smooth taped waist seam and plenty of pockets. The material is quite warm though, and although the mesh lining helps, we’d probably keep the Asper shorts for cooler days. The fit is on the small side too, and although they’re not restrictive on the bike – just a bit snugger on the thighs than we’d ideally like – we’d recommend going up a size if you fall between sizes or prefer a looser feel.

PRICE 125$

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.
