Smith Mainline helmet review

The Mainline is Smiths' first entry into the full face helmet market. While it is expensive, it can definitely earn its keep – it’s supremely comfortable and it fits the bill for an enduro-focused full face almost perfectly.

Specialized Eliminator GRID TRAIL 2Bliss Ready tyre review

The Specialized Eliminator GRID TRAIL 2Bliss Ready is designed for enduro riding, can handle downhill situations well, and behaves nicely on hardpack. It rolls excellently too, but it takes a while to learn to get the best out of it.

Endura Singletrack Glasses review

The Singletrack Glasses from Endura are well designed, comfortable and lightweight. They’re completely fog-resistant and the lenses are simple to swap – the only negative is the lack of clear lenses.

EVOC Hip Pack 3L review

The EVOC Hip Pack 3L is a small bag designed for short rides. It has enough space for the absolute essentials and, while it's comfortable and has a couple of neat tricks up its sleeve, it really is only suited to quick blasts.
