CAMELBAK K.U.D.U 12

Jury Verdict The K.U.D.U 12 is the new back-protector rucksack from Camelbak and aims to achieve the best compromise of protection and wearing comfort. To do this, the high quality pack is fitted with a lightweight protective insert which conforms to the demanding Level 2 Norm (CE1621-2) standard for back protectors. In order to get the weight as close as possible to the rider the K.U.D.U has a flat construction, and the 12 litre volume ensures enough load capacity. The concept really works: the new Camelbak sits perfectly, is comfortable to wear, and thanks to the deep hip belt it always stays in position. Proven features such as the functional rain cover and the 3-liter bladder complement the package and make the K.U.D.U a well-executed pack for both races and all-round riding.

BELL Super 2R

Jury Verdict The Bell Super 2R is the well-executed result of an excellent idea: using the nicely engineered clip mechanism, the chin bar can be removed and reattached in seconds – you don’t even have to take the helmet off. In this way the Super 2R becomes a great choice not just for occasional enduro races, but also for those riders who like to climb fire roads and descend on steep, technical trails. In short, a helmet for all occasions. Naturally all proven features of the previous model which debuted two years ago have been carried over: POV camera mount, GoggleGuide, great looks, and big air vents. Bell has understood that the best helmet only helps when you are actually wearing it at the critical moment – the super versatile Super 2R makes that choice easier.

ATLAS Air Neck Brace

Jury Verdict A good neck brace is characterised by the fact you hardly notice it unless you find yourself in a worst-case scenario, where it could make all the difference. This was the maxim for the Atlas engineers, and you can really feel it! The featherweight neck protector really lives up to its name and is now even easier to fit to the wearer’s body. The modern, minimalist design is combined with high-wearing comfort, maximum security, and it even looks good too. The result is a neck brace that you’re happy to wear and almost forget, clearly reducing the impracticalities of other designs and ensuring more riders will be protected.

AMPLIFI MK II Shirt

Jury Verdict The Amplifi MK II back protector fits like a second skin. In order to achieve this, the Allgäu protection specialists utilise flexible protection padding made of military-grade Armourgel. Our lab tests show the back protector has outstanding damping characteristics. The shirt itself is made from a four-way stretch material and therefore doesn’t need a zip. As a bonus, natural coconut fibres are woven into the material to prevent unpleasant odours. The Amplifi MK II-Shirt is part of a new generation of protectors which combine the best security matched with great comfort. Any excuse for not wearing protection is now invalid!

ALPINA Carapax

Jury Verdict The CARAPX is the latest offering in the enduro and trail line-up from the German helmet & glasses specialist, Alpina. The striking helmet impressed the jury with its low weight, overall well thought-out product design, and comfortable fit. The Carapax has a deeper shape than most conventional helmets and so covers a bigger area of your head. The big air vents keep your head cool, both whilst riding and stationary, and net inserts prevent any unwanted bugs from getting into the helmet. In order to protect the EPS foam core the corners are protected with a layer of plastic. All this is offered for a wallet friendly € 119.95.
