E Thirteen EX cog sprocket


E*13's EX cog addsa40 or 42T crawler gear to the top end of your ratios if you remove the 17 or 15T sprocket from your existing 10-speed cassette.

Different 'timed' versions are available for SRAM or Shimano blocks and an extra long rear derailleur set screw is included with the ring, which is a nice touch. The lurch up onto the 42T cog still needs a bit of care so select it early if you can and be prepared to be patient for it to drop back down compared to a conventional cassette. It's worn fine through winter though, is comparably priced and there are blue, red and black options.

PRICE 82$

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
