Exposure MaxxD Mk10 light


The MaxxD has always been a costno- object favourite and Exposure sneaked us the latest version ahead of its official release. Its four-LED output has crept up to a 3,300-lumen max in the accelerometer-controlled ‘Reflex’ mode, which automatically senses faster/rougher riding, while the stopped setting is dimmer to save battery life. Modes are selected via the back button, while run times/ charge are displayed on the rear screen. Three spots and one diffused LED give a healthy level of light for fast riding, but capacity is still enough for big rides if used wisely. The self-contained design removes cable and battery worries, and you can buy supplementary batteries and a wireless remote switch. An appcontrolled 'SYNC' version is due in the autumn, but as it stands it’s our favourite smart grab-and-go light.

  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.

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.
