For many, mountain biking can be seasonal. Some riders hang up their bikes when the mercury drops but, in a whole bunch of countries, mountain biking is a year-round sport. When winter hits, a whole host of new challenges arise. First off, there's the weather to contend with but also the condition of the trails, both of which require specific kit and componentry to keep you comfortable and rubber side down.

Tubeless sealant is a vital component of any tubeless tyre setup. Not only does it help to create an airtight seal to stop your tyre from deflating over time, but the best tyre sealant will also seal all but the worst puncture holes you might pick up on the trail, ensuring you keep rolling for longer.
