Lazer Solid State S1 Chrome Photochromic riding glasses

SO GOOD
Clarity through the photochromic lens is good and changes in light are dealt with in a subtle yet effective manner.

The field of vision is uninterrupted, even right at the peripheries. Two large lens vents do a decent job of preventing fogging. The nose piece is very comfy and the rear half of each arm can be moulded to improve the fit.

NO GOOD
There's just one frame size and we found the Solid State S1s a touch on the tight side, even with the flexible arm tips bent as flat as possible. These glasses won't move while you ride but those with larger heads may find them uncomfortable.

PRICE 120$

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.

DRC X-Monitor SP1 lap timer

While smartphone apps such as Strava can be a useful way to keep tabs on your mountain bike rides, sometimes you just can’t beat the simplicity and instant feedback that a good old-fashioned stopwatch style lap timer provides.
