Rocking longer spindles, the Crankbrothers Mallet Enduro LS appeals to those who want more foot clearance and a better-supported stance over the bike. Owing to their large platforms, the soft clip-in with masses of float and easy engagement, I’ve struggled to ride with anything else, earning themselves a rightful spot as one of the best clipless MTB pedals. However, they’re not without fault.

The Buteo is ABUS’s first attempt at the best mountain bike goggles concept and with them, the brand has aimed to provide crystal-clear vision with a focus on comfort and ventilation. While they provide some features usually found on goggles well north of their asking price, overall comfort and clearance around the nose need addressing.

Earlier this year, Canyon unveiled its all-new Spectral and welcomed a host of updates, including its Keep It Stable technology as standard. The Neuron:ONfly then announced the brand's step into the world of lightweight e-mountain bikes.

The Merida Big.Trail 600 is a progressive hardtail with exceptionally modern and very wisely-picked geometry. As such, it will be appreciated by all levels of riders while kitted with a spec sheet that’s nearly impossible to moan about. 

Swiss brand Jespr might be one of the newer computer companies but, with its software-first approach, the new Jespr Cycling Computer is primed to upset the best cycling computer market and become a valid alternative to brands such as Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead and Coros. Here's everything we know about this cycling computer.

Trickstuff is a brand that needs no introduction. Known for delivering some of the most powerful brakes on the market, built to unmatched quality but not without the sky-high prices to match. Previously available in Germany where UK customers had to go the extra mile to get their hands on a pair of top-end brakes, Trickstuff is now available in the UK through high-end cycling distributor, Saddleback.

Although a couple of weeks ago, Santa Cruz brought relatively minor updates to its Bronson mountain bike, the brand has carried out bigger updates to its 29er trail bike, the Hightower. Now featuring 150 and 160mm of suspension, the Hightower gets a slacker headtube and the same suspension treatment as the Bronson.

Earlier this year Specialized unveiled the 15th edition of the Stumpjumper, adorning it with fancy Genie technology and geometry adjustment but there was one glaring omission – an alloy bike. Today, the Californian bike brand has fixed that, introducing three alloy-framed bikes to the mix to complete the Stumpjumper collection.

Fox Live Valve has been around since 2018 but nearly six years after its launch, it's been overshadowed by RockShox and its Flight Attendant technology. However, with some hints thrown around after the release of Fox's Transfer Neo, its wireless dropper post, Fox has brought a significant overhaul to its now totally wireless automatic suspension adjustment. Here's everything you need to know.

With the release of the new Bronson late last month and the Hightower only yesterday, it's been a big few weeks for Santa Cruz. And with the brand launching new bikes, Leisure Lakes Bikes has lopped up to 53% off its Santa Cruz bikes – perhaps to make space for the new models or in anticipation of more to come. Either way, now is the best time to grab a brand-new Santa Cruz mountain bike.
