Gloworm X2 light


Gloworm have been evolving the extremely adaptable X2 over the years and this latest version is the toughest yet. The cables – a previous weak point – are now properly stout, with bombproof connections to the head, wired remote and boxy battery. It comes on a helmet clip mount, with bar and GoPro mounts included. The X2 is light and angle-adjustable enough to work with a helmet-peak mount too. Its three-mode trail menu can be custom tuned. You can even change the default tightly-focused, clean-edged output by unscrewing the faceplate and switching to the diffuser or spot lens included. Small LEDs set deep into the battery face make the five-stage run time indicator slightly awkward to read but battery life is reasonable for its small size and reliability has been rock solid now the cables are sorted.

Weight 340g

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.
