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$

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.
