Scott Prospect goggles


If you don’t like the retro look, these come in less seizure-inducing colours too. The field of view is the best on test, with nothing to distract you on the trail. We liked the fit and comfort – there’s plush foam and a generous nose groove. A deep strap and wide outriggers hold the goggles neatly in place on full-face helmets, though the frame is too bulky to fit snugly under some open-face lids. Tinted and clear lenses are included. Both have proven impressively scratch resistant and generally stay fog-free.

Replacement lenses aren’t easy to come by online and are pricey ($34 standard, $41 light sensitive).

Price $112

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.

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  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. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.
