Norco's Optic and Sight mountain bikes get idler pulleys for 2024

Having signed Greg Minnaar and made Red Bull Hardline history with Gracey Hemstreet being the first woman to complete the track last weekend, all eyes are on Norco – and the timing couldn't be better. That's because, today, the brand has unveiled its updated Sight and Optic mountain bikes which have been completely shaken up for 2024.

Altura Ridge Dirt Bag review

The Alura Ridge Dirt Kit Bag has been built to handle the packing and transport of filthy kit. For the most part, the brand has done an excellent job, making it a permanent fixture of any ride I’ve done since the start of my test. However, its popper fastening system isn’t the most reliable and extra pockets would make this the only bag you'll need to carry post-ride gear.

POC Ardour All-Weather Pants review

The POC Ardour All-Weather Pants are designed for flexibility to fend off nasty weather and cope with changeable conditions. Its features include strategically placed waterproof panels that balance weather protection with all-out breathability but can struggle with moisture anywhere that’s not protected. The fit is very baggy which, given the price and POC’s reputation for high-quality kit, is a considerable letdown.

Ride Concepts TNT flat pedal shoe review

The Ride Concepts TNT flat pedal shoe has a lot going for it. It’s designed to cope with the rough and tumble of gravity riding, as well as trail building – of all things. However, its performance extends well into winter as it shrugs off a commendable level of water ingress, especially considering that the brand stakes no claim to its waterproofing.

WTB bolsters its range with the TCS Rocket Tyre Plug Kit

WTB, the brand best known for its range of tyres, wheels and saddles, has expanded its offering and now features tubeless repair, TPU inner tubes and max-flow valves. However, it's the new TCS Rocket Tyre Plug Kit provides a clever and permanent solution to tubeless tyre repair that's got us all thinking, "Why hasn't anyone else done that?"
