Troy Lee Designs Speed elbow pads


These Troy Lee ‘elbow sleeves’ use a thin (4mm) section of flexible D3O padding to protect your elbow and most of your forearm from scuffs and scrapes. This is attached to a full-length sleeve, which stretches from your armpit to close to your wrist and has a breathable mesh panel at the back to stop things getting too clammy. In terms of comfort, there are few, if any, other pads that can touch the Speeds’ fit and feel. With no straps to worry about, security comes from the tight fit of the sleeve and the silicone gripper print on the inside of the upper opening. For the most part, this works. Only on particularly long, rough runs did we notice the top of the pads sliding down, though the sleeve kept the padding where it was needed. A good fit is critical with these pads, so try before buying – we ended up going a size smaller than usual.

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.

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

SKS Airbuster CO2 inflator

The alloy Airbuster has a large knob so you can regulate the flow of gas, a mechanical stop to prevent the cartridge being pierced in transit and a dust cap to keep the valve free of debris. While it works with Presta and Schrader valves, switching between them requires a fiddly change of the valve head. The thin rubber sleeve doesn’t provide much protection from cold spent canisters. You can’t insert much of the valve into the inflator head, so you have to be careful to avoid leaks. Price $33 w/16g cartridge

Syncros XR1.5 saddle

Saddles are a vastly personal item, as shown by the wide array of shapes and sizes on offer. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. Syncros have tackled this by offering two widths - a narrow 132mm version we've tested and a wider 143mm version.
