TSG Trailfox helmet


TSG’S TRAILFOX ENDURO lid delivers plenty of coverage with a healthy dose of slowspeed ventilation.

Simple V-style straps anchored in the edges of the outer shell mean it goes on fast and the snug deep-pan fit makes it naturally stable. There’s only one height position for the dial-adjusted cradle though, so some of our testers had to shuffle the undersized pad around to get it feeling comfortable. The vented peak can be popped on and off into three positions ranging from eyeline to skyline.

A focus on thick protection rather than deep air channels means cooling through-flow is limited but it radiates heat well on slow climbs and the thick pads soak up sweat before it gets in your eyes. Eight colours (including several matt options) mean matching your kit/bike is easy and the new enhanced-protection MIPS version is excellent value at 150$.

Price 120$

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.

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.
