Best eMTB cleaning products 2026 for a cleaner, quieter electric mountain bike
Cleaning an electric mountain bike is not just about making it presentable again. A modern eMTB collects dirt in awkward places: around the motor cover, under the downtube, inside the rear triangle, around suspension pivots and across a drivetrain working under considerably more load than it would on a normal mountain bike. In this guide…
Peaty’s Holeshot BioFibre Tubeless Tyre Sealant Review
Peaty’s Holeshot BioFibre Tubeless Tyre Sealant is designed to repair punctures without relying on the microplastic fibres used in some sealant formulas. Instead, it combines water-based latex with biodegradable fibres and sealing particles intended to gather around a puncture and create a fast, durable seal. That environmental angle is welcome, but tubeless sealant ultimately has…
Troy Lee Designs Ruckus Shorts Review
The Troy Lee Designs Ruckus shorts are designed for trail, enduro and eMTB riders who want a durable riding short without an excessively loose or heavy fit. They sit between lightweight summer shorts and more protective downhill clothing, with enough room for knee pads while retaining a tidy shape on the bike. That balance was…
Endura MT500 D3O Ghost Knee Pads Review
The Endura MT500 D3O Ghost knee pads are designed for riders who want certified protection without the weight, heat and restriction of a traditional enduro knee guard. They combine an extremely flexible D3O Ghost insert with a lightweight sleeve, breathable rear mesh and a long cut that extends from above the knee towards the upper…
Coast Optics Echo Sunglasses Review
The Coast Optics Echo sunglasses are designed to bring the wide-lens performance of the brand’s Nita glasses to riders with smaller faces. They use a compact Bio-TR90 frame, interchangeable cylindrical lenses and grippy contact points intended to keep the glasses secure during mountain biking, gravel riding and other outdoor use. This review of the Coast…
Best eMTB protection 2026: back protectors, chest protectors and pads for UK trail riding
Electric mountain bikes are heavier, faster uphill than many riders expect, and often ridden for longer than an analogue MTB ride of the same distance. That changes what the best eMTB protection looks like in the real world. You still need impact performance for crashes, pedal strikes and awkward low-speed tumbles, but you also need…
Bluegrass Aura Core Knee Pads Review
The Bluegrass Aura Core knee pads offer an unusual combination: high Level 2 impact protection in a slim sleeve that looks and feels closer to lightweight trail protection. That should make them particularly relevant to MTB and eMTB riders who want meaningful coverage but do not want bulky pads getting in the way on long,…
Topeak JoeBlow Tubi 2Stage Review
The Topeak JoeBlow Tubi 2Stage is built to solve two common workshop problems with one pump. Mountain bike and gravel tyres need a large volume of air delivered quickly, particularly when seating a tubeless bead, while road tyres need a pump capable of reaching much higher pressures. The JoeBlow Tubi 2Stage switches between those jobs…
Smith Syncline Sunglasses Review
The Smith Syncline sunglasses are built for riders who want near-goggle levels of coverage without wearing goggles. They are big, protective and very obviously designed for mountain biking, with a wide shield lens, ChromaPop optics, adjustable contact points and a bonus clear lens for properly low-light rides. This review of the Smith Syncline sunglasses comes…
Crankbrothers Stamp Trail Lace Review
The Crankbrothers Stamp Trail Lace is a flat-pedal mountain bike shoe designed for trail riding, eMTB use and off-bike practicality. It sits in that useful space between a casual-looking MTB shoe and a proper performance flat shoe, with a stiffened sole, reinforced toe protection, lace closure and Crankbrothers’ Match outsole. That makes this review of…
Best electric mountain bikes under £2,500 2026: budget eMTBs that still make sense for UK riding
Finding the best electric mountain bikes under £2,500 is not about chasing the cheapest e-bike with knobbly tyres. This is the point in the market where the good bikes start to separate themselves from the ones that only look capable in a product photo. Spend well and you can get a proper mid-drive motor, a…
Best eMTB security products 2026: D-locks, trackers, chain locks and bike-park locks
If you ride an eMTB, security is not something to think about after the bike has already been bought. A modern electric mountain bike can cost thousands of pounds, and it is often left in places where thieves know riders gather: trail-centre car parks, café stops, garages, vans, apartment bike stores, campsites and work racks.…
