Atomlab SL handlebar


A trusted name in dirt jumping and street riding for many years, Atomlab are now back in the UK and this bar is just one good reason to check them out again.

The aluminium SL comes in six colours and is 760mm wide, though we cut ours down to 740mm. The low 25mm rise and subtle sweep (five degrees up and nine degrees back) make it easy to position to ensure a natural, comfortable feel right away. We noticed very little flex from the 35mm clamp diameter bar, which felt stiff but not jarring on heavy landings.

Price 90$

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.

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.
