Proper Cleaner from Guy Martin is a general purpose cleaner for any type of machine with wheels, including our shed full of mountain bikes. Touted as having a tiny carbon footprint it cleans bikes as well as the next but in a more eco-friendly manner.

The Cycliq Fly 12 tries to be all things to all men, a light and a camera in one simple package, but where mountain biking is concerned it falls short of the mark in both respects. It’s a road oriented product, more fit for gravel bikes and road excursions where you might need the safety of a light and the back up of a recorded video.

We've got a deluge of mountain bikes here at off.road.cc from the Go Outdoors brand Calibre Bikes, including this ladies version of the Bossnut V2.

Organised by volunteers from Cycling UK’s CTC Devon group, in conjunction with Big Peaks outdoor store, the Devon Dirt is an annual off-road event which is expected to attract around 400 riders and will now be included in the Challenge Ride 2018 series.

We’ve got a 650B, alloy framed Norco Range in for test this week. It gets160mm of rear travel and 170mm forks, updated geometry and a cranking paintjob!

The Liv Cycling Hail is a long travel bike for the ladies with plenty of all mountain intentions. It’s a bike that has been designed from the ground up by Liv using data derived from thousands of women from all over the globe. It offers a reasonable spec and a nimble ride but with some geometry woes that could have been easily avoided. 

Cane Creek has just announced the arrival of a new fork to the Helm line up, a 29er and plus sized fork which will be available with both an air and coil version immediately. 

The Madison Isoler Merino Women’s long sleeve baselayer is a hardwearing and versatile piece for cooler rides. The addition of the zip-neck is a nice feature if you start to overheat, the jersey could just do with being a little longer at the bottom hem to prevent it riding up.

The Madison Sportive Hi-Viz Women’s Waterproof Jacket is designed to keep you dry and safe too, with the inclusion of ‘Pixel Pot’ print coating the shoulders, arms and back. It has a slimline, flattering fit but the lack of big vents make it a little bit sweaty inside when pushing hard.
