Fox Air Defence goggles


We reckon these are the nicest looking goggles here, and a wide field of view means they’re nice to look out of too. They stay in place well and work great with open-face lids. Generous padding makes them particularly comfy, and there’s no pinching of the nose. The pre-curved lens has minimal distortion.

They’re not the best ventilated, so they can get a tad sweaty and the clear lens fogs up easier than most on muggy rides and at slow speeds, despite its anti-fog coating. Only one lens is included and replacements are fairly expensive ($24 clear, $34 tinted).

Price $97

Alpinestars Stratus gloves

The Stratus gloves from Alpinestars offer a decent amount of protection from the cold and wet without compromising control at the bars.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

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.

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.

iXS Asper BC shorts

THEY AREN’T CHEAP, but these well made and feature packed shorts are the epitome of classic mountainbike-specific functionality, and on the bike they don’t disappoint.
