Bontrager Rhythm shorts


Just putting the Rhythm shorts on makes you think of summer – they’re lightweight, with a baggy cut and a good long leg length. The fit is generous so if you’re between sizes you’ll probably want to go down one (there are six to choose from).

The waist can be adjusted using internal hook-and-loop tabs but if you have to pull it in too far it forms a loop in the fabric on the outside. Slinging a belt through the provided loops helps avoid this. There are pockets aplenty, including a zipped thigh pocket and a cargo pocket.We liked the uber-relaxed feel of this style, but you’ll need to take care if you’re prone to saddle snags.We were impressed by Bontrager’s mesh liner and happy to wear it under other baggies – the pad feels firm but doesn’t ride that way.

Liner: Yes

Price 120$

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.
