Off-Road Arrivals

We are gearing up for Christmas and the products we have in for test this week certainly show that we have the 'gift guides' on the brain! The easiest 'test' we have ever completed must be the Trail Maps - can we hang it? Yes. Does it look good? Yes! Five stars, lovely job.....

Race Face Khyber Jersey

Made from recycled material the Race Face Khyber jersey is a flattering women's number, hitting the proverbial nail on the head where function and form are concerned. 

Silverfish equipped with ex-Mojo team for Fox servicing

After the recent news that Fox Racing Shox would be ending its long-term relationship with Mojo Suspension and that Silverfish will be picking up the brand in the UK, today has seen the announcement that fork and shock servicing duties will be carried out by a team of ex-Mojo employees in the same South Wales premises as before.

Specialized Women's 2FO ClipLite Lace Mountain Bike Shoes

The Specialized ClipLite Lace Mountain Bike shoes are the trail/enduro oriented model in the brand's shoe showcase. A lightweight and stiff offering, they are a reasonable all-rounder if you don't have flipper feet and don't mind fiddling with laces. 

Radon release new enduro, XC and trail bikes

Radon might not be the best known mountain bike brand out there but in the past few years they have certainly been one to pay attention to. The direct sales brand from Bike-Discount in Germany have been producing bikes with pretty up to date geometry, they are, on the whole, slacker and longer than the mainstream and with steep seat angles too, all at a very decent price.

This week has been a week of recovery from a Welsh weekend, full of bikes, mud and a very dirty cleanup! The postman was the bearer of new trail kit from head to toe, from Morvelo and Alpinestars with some warm gravel gear thrown in from Vaude as the season's change.

Giro Montara MIPS Helmet

The Giro Montara MIPS Helmet offers deep coverage in a well ventilated and good-looking package. With plenty of features and a comfortable fit, it’s a lid that hits the nail on the head in most trail situations.

Ibis Introduce New Gravel Bike - The Hakka MX

The new Ibis Hakka MX gravel bike, launched this week is a descendant of their past cyclocross bike the Hakkalugi but with this incarnation sporting wider tyre clearance, an ability to run different wheel and tyre sizes and all the added bells and whistles for some serious bike packing. 

Off-Road Arrivals

In a world filled with Black Friday internet sales, the postie was looking decidedly tired this week! Nevertheless, he delivered and we have new kit for test. We're looking at shoes and lights from Fizik, Peaty's Loam Foam and that rather special looking dropper post from Specialized.
