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$

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.

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.
