RSP Cell DH handlebar


RSP'S (Raleigh Special Products) bar range has always been a top-value selection. The new Cell has a wide 785mm span for bullying your bike through most situations, though there's noticeably more spring and flex than the stiffest bars here.

The 17mm rise (23mm also available) keeps your hands reasonably low. The fractionally-less-than-normal backsweep stops the extra width swinging the tips too far back and there's nothing weird going on with the rise of the outside ends either, so it just feels natural however you rotate it to suit you. It's an OK weight and comes in green, black, blue, red or gold shiny anodised finishes. There are no cut marks though, and the logos on the bulges are carved pretty deeply into the metal.

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

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.
