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.
