The Maxxis Minion DHR II has cemented its place in mountain bike tyre royalty - in fact, the tyre is so good that it’s found on 90% of stock trail and enduro bikes from the factory. While it balances plenty of traction with speed on almost any terrain type, the MaxxGrip rubber on the model tested can wear quickly and it's a little lock-up happy.

Not to be confused with The Rock's famous The People's Eyebrow, Manitou's brand-new Mattoc fork is designed to appeal to those who don't stray into enduro and downhill territory with the brand dubbing it as 'the people's fork'. Built to be a true jack of all trades, Manitou reckons this is a solid fork for everything from XC right up to light enduro, coming with a range of features seen on the Mezzer enduro fork.

Hot off the heels of the all-new Mattoc fork, Manitou has introduced the Junit, a fork that's designed to bring the brand's long-standing suspension know-how into a package that best suits smaller wheels. Here's everything you need to know.

Ragley is a British brand that's known for producing great hardtails, and it has acknowledged that bikes have progressed - and updated its range. Ragley has now refreshed its whole range to keep up with current trends, meaning that each bike in the range has received a well-deserved geometry update.

The Granite Quiver Tool Roll is a product that truly does what it says on the tin. However, adding this to any bike modestly ups its carrying capacity, enabling the rider to easily store all of the essentials in a compact, lightweight and weather-resistant package. While the top strap can be a little fiddly and lacks the space for regular tubes, it's still one of the best bike saddle bags on the market.

The last episode of our Team ORCC '23 race series was all about bike setup, where Suvi got her bike fit by Tony Corke, and I visited Sprung Suspension Workshop to get my bike's suspension set up. In the next installment, we're joined by Chris Opie and Fergus Ryan who share some tips and tricks to get us riding faster.

Found on a number of UCI EWS and DH circuits, Reynolds wheels have received praise through a range of victories over the seasons. Today, the wheel brand has launched four new wheelsets for downhill and enduro riding, having dialled in 40% more compliance.

Blasting onto the market back in 2017, FFWD's Outlaw wheelset racked up a number of World Champion marathon titles. Now, the wheelset has come back, bringing lightweight performance to cross-country and marathon mountain bikes. Here's everything you need to know.

The Mons Royale Virage Pants are designed to be just as comfortable on the bike as they are off and the brand has knocked them out of the park with high performance, and the recycled fabric puts the firmly amongst the most comfortable trousers out there. The temperature regulation, range of pockets, and stretchy back panel make these excellent companions for autumn and springtime riding. The Virage Pants have seriously impressed, but for the money they should and would be made even better if there was some kind of water resistance built in.

The Mons Royale Tarn Merino Shift Wind jersey packs in comfort but adds a very useful weather protection feature, making it a top that’ll appeal to those who ride big mountains or simply want to beat wind chill. While mega effective, it comes up large in terms of sizing and you’ll need deep pockets.
