Fox Ranger Fire Glove review

The Fox Ranger Fire gloves come built with a bunch of features that make them a viable choice for riding when the temperature drops and the weather turns.

First Look: Forme Monsal 1 - The brand's top end gravel rig

A couple of weeks ago we took a look at 1816 Cycles' eye-wateringly pricey L'enfer Du Nord so we've decided to tone things down a little with Forme's Monsal 1. It's an alloy framed gravel bike that's designed to offer the speed of a road bike with the durability of an off-road bike.

The smorgasbord of cool things for this week takes a rather gravelly turn but there's still a dashing of mountain bike kit to keep everyone happy. We've got some apparel from Fasthouse, brand spanking fresh shoes from Fizik and a sub £2k gravel rig from Forme among many others, get stuck in.
