Launched as part of Stolen Goat’s fresh MTB22 collection are their Voltage Grey Gloves. They are comfortable, offer a range of useful features and are built to a reasonably high quality. However, it doesn’t take long before they look a little worse for wear, and the palm padding is an acquired taste.

Team ORCC has wrapped up its fifth month of racing. During May, we catch up with Brad as he takes on Dirty Reiver, Matt Page as he hunts some KOMs, Liam Cahill makes what might be the mistake of the century and Liam M gets incredibly wet. Here's what the guys got up to in May.

Endura reckons that heads are pretty important, and we certainly agree. With that, the brand has announced its updated range of skid lids, all coming with fresh tech with the goal of creating some of the best helmets on the market.

We're looking forward to some extra bike time over the big Jubilee weekend but we can't kick it off without highlighting the coolest kit that has come into the office ripe for the testing. This week, we've got a budget-friendly hardtail, Oakley's newest helmet and 7Mesh's lightweight enduro shorts. Along with those, there's a multitool from Lezyne and a shed-load of grips from Lizard Skins.

Much like the recently updated Scout, Nukeproof's gravel bike, the Digger has developed its own group of followers. Last updated in 2018, 2022's iteration of the Digger adopts a fresh range of kit and has received changes to its geometry to bring it right up to date.

The bikes have been rolling into the office these past few weeks and that's showing no sign of slowing down. This week, we're going to show off Forme's Black Rocks HT1, a rather wallet-friendly bike that looks to be ideal for riders looking to dip their toe into singletrack riding and more experienced riders who are looking for a well-rounded but nicely priced hardtail.

In terms of the highly competitive best mountain bike wheels segment, the updated DT Swiss M1900 wheelset brings the stiffness, strength and reliability of the brand’s pricier wheels to a much friendlier price point. If you can forgive a slightly weightier and pricier build than similar wheels from competing brands, there’s very little not to like here.

The Argotal takes the role of the loose conditions tyre in Continental’s new Gravity range. When used for its intended application it excels while rolling reasonably quickly. It’s durable too, though versatility isn’t its strong suit.

Öhlins has announced the new TTX22M.2 coil shock. With the new damper, the brand has taken the original TTX22M and built upon it, adding a range of new features with the aim of making it an even more capable damper for gravity-fed riding.

This week we're lapping up the new releases from Endura, e*thirteen, and Peaty's. Come into the office ripe for testing is the new MT500 helmet, an interesting new dropper post, a CO2 inflator, and YT Industries' trail ripper. Here are 5 cool things.
