SDG Circuit MTN: Ti-Alloy trail saddle


SO GOOD
The relatively light (217g) Circuit is SDG’s all-rounder offering. Originally a road design, off-road refinements make the MTN version an option for everything from all-day enduros to DH use.

The channel down the centre relieves pressure where you don’t want pressure and helps temper the firm feel of the padding. The 135mm width makes it ideal for the smaller-hipped.

NO GOOD
The textured finish looks pretty but the little recessed logos can harbour shorts-wrecking grit. By far the hardest seat on test, the Circuit MTN won’t suit all behinds, but those who dig a firmer feel will happily reap the weight rewards

PRICE 105$

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.

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.

iXS Asper BC shorts

THEY AREN’T CHEAP, but these well made and feature packed shorts are the epitome of classic mountainbike-specific functionality, and on the bike they don’t disappoint.
