Mavic Deemax Pro Ltd Sam Hill jersey


Part of a limited-edition collection designed with Aussie enduro and DH superstar Sam Hill, the Deemax Pro Ltd looks immediately different, with its squared-off neckline and distinctive fabric. It feels good too – the material is almost cotton-like and, although light to wear, has a more robust feel than most at this weight. While the cut of the body is fine – relaxed but not oversized – the sleeves are very narrow over the forearms. This makes them feel like they want to pull up, so we found it more comfortable to ride with them pushed up than worn down. There’s a short-sleeve version of this top that would avoid the problem. The combination of fabric quality and racing provenance does also mean that, when it comes to cost, this is a jersey that sits firmly in the ‘splurge’ category.

Price $112

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.

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.
