Sigma ROX 6.0/CAD bike computer


SO GOOD
The ROX 6.0/CAD lacks GPS but offers a huge range of other features – great for those who want to train hard but don’t feel the need to brag on social media afterwards. The included heart-rate, cadence and speed sensors connect wirelessly with little faff.

Digital set-up is relatively painless too thanks to clear instructions. Five buttons make it simple to scroll between readings, which include heart-rate intensity zone and altitude profiles. The lap function stores readings for heart rate, speed and cadence (among other data) for up to 99 laps.

NO GOOD
The Sigma computer is expensive for a non-GPS unit.

Price 210$

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.

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. 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'.

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.
