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.

The X-Monitor SP1 is designed to be integrated into the bar pad of a motocross bike but can easily be (tightly) ziptied to your handlebar or fixed in place using DRC’s stem top cap mount for an extra 22$. The lead that connects the remote button to the timer is long enough to let you stick the monitor near the middle of the bar and position the button right up next to your grip for easy actuation. The controls are dead easy and intuitive to use, the wide screen displays big, easily legible digits and the ability to record up to 50 laps or intervals means it’s a doddle to check up on your progress.

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.

Merida Big Seven 100
