Best enduro MTB helmets 2026: 10 trail and eMTB picks
The best enduro MTB helmets 2026 need to suit the whole ride: the climb, the descent and the protection your route demands.

Best Bosch eMTBs 2026: CX, PX and smart system electric mountain bikes for UK riders
The best Bosch eMTBs 2026 cover far more ground than they did even a year ago. Bosch still has the familiar full-power Performance Line CX at the centre of the range, but current bikes now stretch from approachable 50Nm hardtails to 800Wh trail bikes, lighter 600Wh all-mountain builds and long-travel enduro machines that can unlock…
Best MTB pedals 2026: grippy flats and reliable clipless options
The best MTB pedals 2026 fall into two very different camps. Flat pedals let you move your feet, dab quickly and step off without thinking about a release mechanism.

Best MTB helmets 2026: 10 award winners for UK trail and eMTB riding
Choosing the best MTB helmets 2026 has to offer is not as simple as picking the helmet with the longest feature list or the highest price.

Best MTB sunglasses 2026: trail-ready glasses for UK mountain biking
The best MTB sunglasses 2026 need to work when the sun disappears as quickly as it arrived. UK mountain biking rarely gives you one clean light condition for an entire ride: open moorland can be bright enough to make you squint, then the next descent drops into trees where a dark road lens makes wet…
Best Avinox eMTBs 2026: DJI M2 and M2S electric mountain bikes for UK riders
The best Avinox eMTBs 2026 are no longer just different versions of the original Amflow. Avinox M2 and M2S motors now sit inside lightweight carbon trail bikes, British-built aluminium machines, direct-sales gravity bikes and high-pivot designs.
