Madison Roam jersey


Sometimes what you want is a technical wicking jersey that doesn’t look like one once you’ve pedalled to your destination. Or maybe you just prefer the nononsense simplicity of T-shirt style designs. Enter the Madison Roam, which, with its small chest pocket and casual stripe design, looks like an everyday top. Just don’t put anything in that pocket – it’ll only take a folded fiver, and we can’t guarantee it’ll stay there until the beer needs paying for. The fabric is light and stretchy, and a more open knit is used under the arms for faster cooling. When you’re riding you barely know you’re wearing it, which is always a good sign. In short, it’s all that a technical riding T-shirt should be and you’ll probably find yourself wearing it for more than just biking.

Price $57

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.

Dave Hemming’s Fat Chance Yo Eddys

WHO IS DAVE HEMMING Dave first appeared in the mag in 1989 and, after becoming the first Brit to win a World Championships medal, was picked to ride for Team MBUK in 1991. He went on to race DH for several years, in-between numerous hare-brained feature missions. These days, he dabbles in everything from enduros to Ironmans, while working for Swiss/Italian brand X-Bionic. WHY THIS IS A SUPERBIKE? -A ’90s classic has been reborn -The original Yo Eddy is pure anodised retro radness -Its new counterpart is the perfect blend of old and new school, combining classic styling with an up-to-date ride It’s crazy to see how far things have come since the early ’90s. At that time, racing downhill on a hardtail with a 90mm stem and the seat up your arse was just what people did. While the technology seems primitive now, bike companies more than made up for it when it came to anodising! With its ‘aquafade’ paintjob, metallic blue parts and punk graphics, old-school UK racer Dave Hem...

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.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0
