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

The Stratus gloves from Alpinestars offer a decent amount of protection from the cold and wet without compromising control at the bars.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

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.

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.

iXS Asper BC shorts

THEY AREN’T CHEAP, but these well made and feature packed shorts are the epitome of classic mountainbike-specific functionality, and on the bike they don’t disappoint.
