DMR Deathgrip Race Edition


With a dual waffle and knurled pattern and the choice of two diameters and rubber compounds, Brendan Fairclough’s original signature grips have proven popular. Now DMR have released a Race Edition version with a softer ‘secret super-tacky formula’ rubber for more comfort and control when it matters most. They use the same single lock-on ring, tapered core design as the standard Deathgrips, come in ‘thick’ and ‘thin’ versions, and are available with or without a flange (flangeless standard grips are now available too, for $25). We can only assume we’ll be whipping it sideways like Brendan with these on our bikes.

Price $30

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 Spectral AL 6.0

Round two, and the 6.0 leaps out of the blocks. From the moment we're off the smaller wheeled Spectral wants to go flat out. Standing on the pedals on the small steep climbs is slightly more reactive, surging the Spectral forward that little more eagerly. We need more body language to get the wheels over the roots, but again the 2.4in Mountain King's tread impresses.
