Deity Waypoint grips


Deity use a single lock-on collar and tapered inner sleeve to keep the Waypoints secure on your bar. The bolts are chunkier 3mm numbers, which means you don’t have to be quite so delicate when torqueing them up. That single-collar design means you can sit your hands right at the end of the grips and make full use of the 122mm of rubber. We found the diamond pattern to be grippy both with and without gloves, even when sweaty. They’re not the skinniest, at 31mm in diameter, but their width and reasonably soft rubber mean they’re reassuringly forgiving on your hands. Integrated bar end plugs finish them off nicely.

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.

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.
