NS Magneto stem

NS Magneto stem

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" isn't a phrase that sits well with NS Bikes, it would seem, because with the Magneto they've attempted to reinvent the stem.

This two-piece design features a neat looking integrated top cap that means you have to cut your fork's steerer tube to exactly the right length to ft it. It also uses a wedge system to clamp the steerer tube, doing away with external bolts that can be nasty on your knees. Made from cold-forged 6061-T6 alloy and designed for freeride and enduro use, it's available in a single 47mm length with a 0-degree rise. Our sample weighs 205g.

PRICE 105$

Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

Dave Hemming’s Fat Chance Yo Eddys

WHO IS DAVE HEMMING Dave first appeared in the mag in 1989 and, after becoming the first Brit to win a World Championships medal, was picked to ride for Team MBUK in 1991. He went on to race DH for several years, in-between numerous hare-brained feature missions. These days, he dabbles in everything from enduros to Ironmans, while working for Swiss/Italian brand X-Bionic. WHY THIS IS A SUPERBIKE? -A ’90s classic has been reborn -The original Yo Eddy is pure anodised retro radness -Its new counterpart is the perfect blend of old and new school, combining classic styling with an up-to-date ride It’s crazy to see how far things have come since the early ’90s. At that time, racing downhill on a hardtail with a 90mm stem and the seat up your arse was just what people did. While the technology seems primitive now, bike companies more than made up for it when it came to anodising! With its ‘aquafade’ paintjob, metallic blue parts and punk graphics, old-school UK racer Dave Hem...
