DJI Power 1000 Mini Review
The DJI Power 1000 Mini is not an eMTB product in the traditional sense, but it makes a lot of sense for electric mountain bikers. If you ride from campsites, sleep in a van, spend weekends away, film rides with cameras and drones, or simply want a way to top up an eMTB battery away…

Specialized 3.1 Motor Review
The Specialized 3.1 motor is one of the biggest reasons the latest Turbo Levo feels like such a serious full-power eMTB. It is not just a small update to the previous Specialized system. It brings more torque, more peak power, a new Auto mode, improved customisation and a ride feel that can move from smooth…

Michelin e-Wild eMTB Tyres Review
Michelin has taken a more deliberate approach to electric mountain bike tyres than simply putting an e-bike label on an existing MTB tread. The Michelin e-Wild eMTB tyres are built around the extra weight, torque and braking loads of full-power eMTBs, with front and rear-specific designs that are intended to do different jobs. The front…

Smith Pilot Mips review: premium-brand trail helmet performance for under £100
The Smith Pilot Mips is a mountain bike helmet that immediately makes sense on paper. It comes from a premium helmet and eyewear brand, weighs a claimed 370g in a medium, includes Mips rotational impact protection and costs less than £100. For newer mountain bikers, trail riders and eMTB users who want a proper off-road…

Kids Ride Shotgun Pro II Combo review: the front-row seat for mini mountain bikers
The Kids Ride Shotgun Pro II Combo is designed for mountain bike parents who want to bring their child into the ride, rather than simply carry them along behind. Instead of a rear-mounted seat or trailer, it places your child up front, between your arms, with their own mini handlebars and footrests. For family MTB…

Troy Lee Designs Stage Stunt review: extra confidence without going full-face
The Troy Lee Designs Stage Stunt is one of the more interesting MTB helmets to land recently because it does not sit neatly in the usual open-face or full-face categories. Instead, it brings back the 3/4 helmet format, giving riders more protection around the ears and jaw without the enclosed feel of a full-face lid.…

Endura MT500 Mips review: the trail helmet you forget you are wearing
The Endura MT500 Mips is not the sort of mountain bike helmet that shouts for attention once you are riding, and that is one of its biggest strengths. It has plenty going on technically, including Mips, Koroyd, deep trail coverage, an adjustable visor, eyewear storage and a clip-on mount for a light or camera, but…

Troy Lee Designs A3 Mips review: premium trail protection with deep coverage and serious airflow
The Troy Lee Designs A3 Mips is a premium open-face mountain bike helmet built for riders who want deep trail coverage without moving to a full-face lid. It sits in the serious trail, enduro and eMTB space, with Mips rotational protection, EPS and EPP impact construction, a Fidlock magnetic buckle, a 3-way adjustable visor and…

Canyon Deflectr review: odd-looking safety tech, surprisingly normal on the trail
The Canyon Deflectr is not a normal-looking mountain bike helmet once you spot the HighBar system. Instead of a conventional strap arrangement, it uses a more structured under-chin retention design that looks unusual at first and immediately makes the helmet feel different before you even ride in it. Add in Canyon’s RLS safety technology and…

Canyon Spectral:ON CF 7 review: brilliant frame, budget build compromises
The Canyon Spectral:ON CF 7 is exactly the sort of electric mountain bike that makes riders stop scrolling. A full-suspension carbon eMTB, an 800Wh battery, Shimano motor support, 160mm of front travel, 155mm at the rear and a sale price of £3,279 is hard to ignore. On paper, it looks like one of the best-value…
