7IDP Covert knee pads

7IDP Covert knee pads

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN around long, but 7 Intelligent Design Protection are already supplying the likes of Steve Peat, Joe Barnes and Trek World Racing.

Aimed at enduro racers, the Covert knee pads offer three layers of protection. A 1mm-thick hard-plastic cup that's curved to stop it lifting off the knee during pedalling sits over a high-density EVA foam mid-layer and a lower-density bottom layer that's perforated for ventilation, with a compression-fit sleeve holding it all in place. The Coverts pass the CE EN 1621-1 standard and all three layers can be removed for washing or to tailor the level of protection (though removing the hard caps for comfort on mellower rides means the pads no longer meet the CE standard).

PRICE 105$

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.
