CamelBak Rogue hydration pack


SO GOOD... The Rogue represents a brilliant middle ground between trail and race packs. Built around one of CamelBak’s brilliant (2l) bladders, it’s minimal in size but still offers two external pockets and a larger stowage space, which can be tightened down. The result is a pack that can handle all but the longest excursions.

NO GOOD...We liked the lightweight, breathable straps but they can’t compete with the security of a full harness – though they do make the Rogue more comfortable on longer rides.

Price 90$

While Ryanair or Easyjet will never be bywords for glamour, at least your bike can fly in style with the new EVOC Bike Bag Pro.

Alpinestars Stratus gloves

The Stratus gloves from Alpinestars offer a decent amount of protection from the cold and wet without compromising control at the bars.

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.

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.

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.
