Sigma Buster 2000 light


The Buster 2000 is heavy, but that gets you serious power and longevity with tons of useful features. Its claimed 2,000-lumen output actually seems higher, with long centre-point reach and a clear, consistent secondary spread out to smooth, eye-friendly edges. The triangular three-LED head comes on a thumbwheel-secured band that works with 35mm bars (if you pull the padding out). Helmet and GoPro-style mounts are also included. There’s a wireless remote too, with a secondary button that just toggles through the steady modes, dodging the strobe and pulse settings. The square plastic battery is bulky and contributes to the heaviest weight on test. Run times are impressive though, and it’s got a fourstep charge indicator. While it’s a new light to us, reliability is sound so far.

Weight 485g

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.

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.
