GoPro HERO6


Although there are a fair few contenders in the wearable camera market these days, GoPro are still the undisputed leaders, and with the release of their sixthgeneration camera, things look set to continue that way.

The HERO6 Black may not look any different to the previous model, but inside it’s been given a serious boost, in the shape of a new ‘GP1’ processor that’s twice as fast as before. This means you can record 4K Ultra HD video at 60 frames per second, and shoot 1,080p Full HD footage at 240fps, for incredible slow-mo results.

GoPro say the faster processor also improves image stabilisation and performance in low light and at night. The new camera is also claimed to interact faster with their phone app, making it easier to upload footage and improving the usability of the ‘QuikStories’ editing function.

Some of the features of the HERO5 have been retained, such as the touchscreen interface, voice-activated controls and waterproofing down to 10m. The new camera costs $150 more but is compatible with all the same accessories.

Price $750

Dave Hemming’s Fat Chance Yo Eddys

WHO IS DAVE HEMMING Dave first appeared in the mag in 1989 and, after becoming the first Brit to win a World Championships medal, was picked to ride for Team MBUK in 1991. He went on to race DH for several years, in-between numerous hare-brained feature missions. These days, he dabbles in everything from enduros to Ironmans, while working for Swiss/Italian brand X-Bionic. WHY THIS IS A SUPERBIKE? -A ’90s classic has been reborn -The original Yo Eddy is pure anodised retro radness -Its new counterpart is the perfect blend of old and new school, combining classic styling with an up-to-date ride It’s crazy to see how far things have come since the early ’90s. At that time, racing downhill on a hardtail with a 90mm stem and the seat up your arse was just what people did. While the technology seems primitive now, bike companies more than made up for it when it came to anodising! With its ‘aquafade’ paintjob, metallic blue parts and punk graphics, old-school UK racer Dave Hem...
