7iDP M2 helmet


7iDP’s range-topping open-face lid offers similar features to premium helmets, at half the price. From a safety perspective, it seems that 7iDP have put in the work, with their ‘Conehead’ dual-density EPS liner providing impact protection and decent coverage all around the lid. The M2 feels well vented and the peak can be set out of view despite its limited mobility. Fit-wise, it’s reasonably snug thanks to the extensive and comfy padding, but it feels a little wide at the sides. The price is perhaps reflected in the cheap-feeling ratchet wheel, which we found caused a pressure point at the back of the head. There isn’t any vertical adjustment in the retention system either. But, it’s a great value helmet if you can find the right fit and stomach the lairy colour combinations.

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.

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'.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.
