O'Neal Winter gloves

O'Neal Winter gloves

THESE WINTER GLOVES from O'Neal use a thin, insulated palm that doesn't feel too bulky when gripping the bar and doesn't get in the way of shifting gears or braking.

There's next to no bunching either, thanks to the decent fit and minimal bulk. The windproof and water resistant backing does a great job of keeping your hands warm even on really cold, wet days. If it's really pouring with rain the O'Neals will keep the wet out for a while, but before long things will start getting pretty damp. That said, they'll still keep you warm. Not everyone will like the lairy graphics though.

PRICE 53$

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

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.

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.
