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.

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.

DRC X-Monitor SP1 lap timer

While smartphone apps such as Strava can be a useful way to keep tabs on your mountain bike rides, sometimes you just can’t beat the simplicity and instant feedback that a good old-fashioned stopwatch style lap timer provides.

Scott Scale 950

The Scale 950 uses the now traditional-for-cross-country 29er wheels to excellent effect, with a fast but fun character that's happy racing or railing.

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.

Formula CR3 brakes

The CR3 features a cartridge-type master, which improves power and modulation, plus it is super simple to service: The self-enclosed unit threads directly into the lever body. I took apart our test set and had it back together and bled in 10 minutes with no special tools. Like Formula’s RO brakes, the caliper pistons are actually oval, making more surface area–and thus, more power–than round pistons, but simpler than a four-piston system. The CR3 is best suited for aggressive trail riding.
