Truflo Minoot CO2 mini pump


The Minoot is an excellent, ultrasimple backup to have stowed away in a pocket or at the bottom of your bag.

Compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves, unscrewing the cartridge starts the delivery of CO2, and vice versa (although there are no instructions included to tell you that).

The foam insulator protects your hands from the freezing metal without adding bulk, but beware of where you store it, as dirt and water can clog up the exposed Presta valve nozzle.

For the money, it’s an affordable extra that will get you rolling quickly if you’re against the clock, or when dusk is falling in the winter months.

Save weight when racing, or carry it as a speedy emergency inflator.

Weight 93g
Dimensions 120x25mm

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'.

DRC X-Monitor SP1 lap timer

While smartphone apps such as Strava can be a useful way to keep tabs on your mountain bike rides, sometimes you just can’t beat the simplicity and instant feedback that a good old-fashioned stopwatch style lap timer provides.

Scott Stego MIPS helmet

Scott’s top-end aggressive trail helmet is only available with MIPS, as the Swiss brand were early adopters of the system. The EPS extends low at the rear without clashing with the retention system and the strap attachment points are external to the liner, maximising the amount of material around the temples. This is the closest-fitting helmet on test, with very little clearance inside the liner. Despite this, and although the Stego has fewer vents than some other lids here, we never felt too hot-headed. Scott spent time developing the ventilation system using a wind tunnel and it seems to have paid off. The thin pads don’t offer quite as much comfort as some competitors’, and while the short peak is removable, it doesn’t offer any height adjustment. Weight 340g Sizing S, M, L Price $180

Fulcrum Red Power XL wheels

THESE WHEELS CERTAINLY don't look like some of the cheapest on test, and the adjustable-preload bearings are some of the smoothest and longest lived at any price.
