How to make your cycling New Year resolutions stick
Bell Super Air R MIPS helmet
Not just a different Super 3R, the new Super Air R MIPS has been designed from the ground up. The brands says this has superior ventilation, its lighter, and has Flex-Spherical MIPS tech alongside a 2-click removable chin bar that is completely different from other lids in the lineup. It appears intended for aggressive trail riding, this hybrid helmet has a distinct 'full face' or downhill look about it, yet still coming in at a very respectable claimed 640g for a medium size.
Giro Ambient jacket
Staying warm in winter is one of our main concerns at this time of year, despite the shortest day passing us by there is still plenty of time to test cold weather gear. This softshell from Giro is the latest piece in for test, its a stretchy windproof that is also said to be waterproof with a 10,000mm waterproof rating.

Effetto Mariposa Tappabuco
A neat tyre plug system stored in the end of your handlebars, the Tappabuco works as an end plug for both road/gravel and mountain bikes as well as being able to be inserted into the space at the bottom brack/crank arm. At just £12 it seems a good deal to us considering you can restock the plugs pretty cheaply once you've used them.
Effetto Mariposa Espresso Strap Lungo
Not coffee and sadly not somewhere to store coffee but the Espresso Strap Lungo will store a small wallet and emergency inner tube and probably a host of other stuff too, fitted to your frame.
Tifosi Optics Crit Crystal Fototech glasses
These are light and fast (claimed!) glasses with Fototech lenses which are photochromatic, changing the light transmission in response to the environment. The glasses can alter between 27% and 76% which is pretty cool, especially at the sub £80 price tag.
