Julbo Bang MTB goggles


SO GOOD… Although the frame looks basic compared to the others here, it does the job required of it just fine and, most importantly, houses the key to the Bangs’ success – the Zebra Light photochromic lens.

Alongside its excellent clarity, this fancy double lens adapts rapidly to changing light conditions and does so without you noticing. The triple-layer face foam is comfy and venting proved good enough to prevent fogging during testing.

NO GOOD… The styling is pretty basic for the price and the lens is already showing signs of wear.

Price 195$

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.
