Gusset S2 saddles

Gusset S2 AM

These two saddles from Gusset form part of the UK brand’s new‘S2’ range of premium products. Due for release in early 2018, they’ve been designed to be functional, good looking and wallet friendly. Both use nylon bases, chromoly rails and slim padding with a central relief channel for pedalling comfort. Strips of PU material on the cover add wet weather grip. The AM model weighs 283g and costs $67, while the SM, at 254g and $45, is a smaller version for younger riders. Gusset are also releasing a dirt jump model designed in conjunction with UK slopestyle star and MBUK columnist Matt Jones.

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.

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.
