DT Swiss XM 1501 SPLINE ONE

A brand whose reputation precedes them, DT Swiss have been at the cutting edge of the wheel market for years. In fact, our latest readers’ survey is testament to the Swiss brand’s domination. First launched in spring, the 1501 SPLINE ONE wheels are now appearing on more and more of next season’s bikes. Available in the XR, XM and EX series with widths between 22.5 mm to 40 mm, the DT Swiss wheels start from € 939, therefore don’t come cheap. In terms of weight, they’re able to rival many carbon wheels that are out there, while also delivering an ultra-high performance and longevity. The XM and EX models with 30 mm interior rim widths are the staples amongst DT employees and pro riders, and these are reputed to be the best bedmate for current tires on the market.

The star of their latest line-up is undoubtedly the XM 1501 with an interior rim width of 30 mm. For many trail riders, these represent the ultimate marriage of weight and stability.

EVOC Enduro shirt

EVOC’s protective backpacks have been a staple on the trails for years, but what about those ride when you demand even more protection to pair with your beloved EVOC backpack? Their new Enduro shirt is the answer: designed as a lightweight addition to the FR backpacks, the shirt comes without its own back protector but it has two SAS-TEC protectors in the shoulder zone for additional protection. Other than the thin cushioning across the chest, the shirt is very breathable and constructed from a fast-drying material. It retails for € 90 and comes in four sizes.

The EVOC Enduro shirt works like a protective jacket without the back protector, and it’s designed to be worn in unison with a specific backpack.

ONE GORE-TEX Active riding jacket

It’s no secret that GORE BIKE WEAR are behind some of the market’s highest performance rainwear; we’re talking kit that actually protects you from the elements and lasts a long time. However, they’ve gone a step further and outshone all their past products with the launch of the all-new ONE GORE-TEX Active riding jacket. Forget tried-and-tested exteriors, GORE have relied on a water-tight but breathable membrane with a water-repellent surface that’s reputed to be extremely long-lasting. Lighter and more breathable than any other previous GORE-TEX product, it’s also super packable and quick drying.

The ONE GORE-TEX Active claims to be the most innovative of all GORE-TEX jackets to date.
