Cube AM Women's Storm Jacket
If there is one piece of kit to get right in your mountain biking wardrobe, a waterproof jacket is it. The Cube AM Women’s Storm Jacket has a good stab at being a great waterproof jacket but there is some downfall in cut and zip issues.
Crankbrothers Mallet 3 Clipless Pedals
The Crankbrothers Mallet 3 clip-in pedals sit between cheaper Mallet 2’s and lighter Mallet E’s in the company’s extensive lineup. The 3’s offer a ‘love it or hate it’ clip-in mechanism with that Crankbro distinctive ‘float’ feeling and a large surrounding platform for extra support.
Osprey Raven 10 Hydration Pack
The Osprey Raven 10 is a mountain bike hydration pack incorporating a 3 litre reservoir and as many ergonomic features as you can imagine. It’s a secure, well designed piece of kit that is one of the top contenders for my favourite bag, and I collect bags like a squirrel hoards nuts for winter.

First Look: Rocky Mountain Altitude
We've just taken delivery of a 2018 Rocky Mountain Altitude for test and review and after a lot of noise on this bike's release earlier in the year, it's safe to say we are pretty keen to get riding. As ever we've opted to test a bike at the more reasonable end of the price range with this Altitude Alloy 30, here Rachael talks us through the details in this 'First Look' video.
Video: The Dudes of Hazzard Fellowship of the Party Ring
We don't need to tell you this most recent edit from the Dudes of Hazzard is good.
