Troy Lee Designs Stage Stunt review: extra confidence without going full-face

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…

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.

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…

Bluegrass Rogue Core Mips review: a seriously comfortable trail helmet in a crowded market
The Bluegrass Rogue Core Mips is the sort of open-face trail helmet that should make immediate sense to eMTB and mountain bike riders. It has extended coverage, Mips rotational protection, a Fidlock buckle, a proper retention system, decent goggle compatibility and enough ventilation to work hard on climbs without feeling like a sweaty plastic bucket.…

Giant Explore E+ 1 review: a high-tech trekking e-bike that genuinely feels special
The Giant Explore E+ 1 sits in one of the most useful parts of the modern e-bike market. It is not a true electric mountain bike, and it should not be judged as one. Instead, this is a trekking or SUV-style electric bike built for commuting, mixed-surface riding, family exploring and the kind of off-road…

This review of the MET Shelter…

Specialized Ambush 3 review: a premium trail helmet that finally feels fully sorted
This review of the Specialized Ambush 3 lands at an interesting moment for mountain bike helmets. Riders are asking for more than just a light shell with plenty of vents now.

The review of Specialized Turbo Levo 4 Comp Alloy starts with a simple point: this is a proper full-power e-MTB that feels built around big rides, steep climbs and the kind of trail riding where you want power and battery capacity on your side.
