The Evoc Protector Jacket offers the ideal balance of maximum protection, low weight, comfort, and a close fit. It combines special perforated viscoelastic foam SAS-TEC pads on the shoulders with a 145 gram CE-certified “Liteshield air back protector” and cleverly positioned protective elements for the collar bone, chest, hip, pelvic bone, as well as for the tailbone. An ideal, close fit is guaranteed by the ergonomically formed and highly adjustable hip belt.

Evoc has become synonymous with the highest quality backpacks, pioneering features like the size-dependent, integrated back protector. The FR Enduro Blackline 16L impresses with its innovative back ventilation system, called LITESHIELD CARRY SYSTEM AIR. The pack offers a very close fit, and is very comfortable to wear thanks to the fully ventilated carrying system, preventing any kind of heat build-up. The pack also features a new breathable and ergonomic hip belt.

Ergonomic grips, specifically designed for enduro. Their slanting, lateral ends enlarge the contact surface for your hands without unnecessarily widening the handlebar. This offers a crucial advantage, especially in narrow spaces with the danger of tree contact. The alignment of textures against the hand’s natural rotation ensures grip, while the damping qualities of materials used on the inside minimizes hand fatigue.

A lot of technology hides behind the unflashy but fancy stealth look of the Haven Carbon 29”. The carbon rim has a 21 millimeter internal width and is designed for tough assignments, helping keep wider tires mounted safely on the rim. Despite having only 24 Sapim 2.0 spokes front and back, the 1,610-gram wheelset offers more than enough stiffness. Weight and stiffness are crucial with big wheels, ensuring ideal agility, precision, and propulsion. The 2-year warranty provides reassurance that Easton is confident about their product and that the rims are built to last!

THE enduro wheel set of 2014: minimal weight, very strong construction, good price-performance ratio, and clever features make the SPLINE EX 1501 a reliable companion for enduro riders. The delicately interlocked freewheel “Ratchet System®” is equally as impressive as the wide, tubeless-capable rims and the strong straight-pull spokes.
