First up, our Liam is testing a new WTB wheelset, the CZR i 30's. This is WTB's new carbon rim that comes in two sizes.

We have a full build here topped off with Vedict and Judge tyres.

Leatt has just launched the brand new DBX 4.0 Enduro helmet to the line-up. It's certified to downhill helmet standards and comes sorted with all the mod cons with the aim to make it a convenient and fully kitted enduro focussed lid. We are keen to test this one and compare it to other similar lids on test.

Princeton Wake 6560 wheelset
£2999
Princeton says these innovative 6560 wheels offer better speed through the breakthrough of dynamic cross-section variability, which yields lower drag and reduced effects of vortex shedding. After four years of research and development, the brand claims this is wind tunnel confirmed. With 24 sinusoidal oscillations, the unusually shaped rim varies between 60mm and 65mm deep.
Our tester Stuart Kerton is testing the disc brake version, but there is also a rim brake alternative. Stu’s full report will be landing on the site soon...
Granite Design Aux Cage
£26.95
The Aux Bottle Cage is the answer to your “why can’t I fit a bottle cage on my bike?!” prayers. Strap it anywhere you like, at any height or, use the bosses to mount as you would a regular bottle cage. It's not complicated, but will it stay in place? Check back soon for a full review....
