Topeak’s JoeBlow Sport Ex is the most affordable track pump in its range and is designed to inflate a wide range of tyre sizes – quickly. With a robust build, long hose and large analogue gauge for easy reading, it also features a SmartHead pump head, which automatically adjusts to fit either Schrader or Presta valves. It keeps things simple with no bells or whistles, just a solid construction and great action delivering high-volume inflation with each stroke.

Topeak's TetraFender M1/M2 mudguard set addresses mud and spray protection at the front and rear of the bike. Providing coverage options, the mudguard set offers ample protection at the front, while the rear could be improved. Despite not being for the weight-conscious and being a little tricky to fit, the TetraFender set is a solid option in the best MTB mudguard market.

Visiodry is a water-repellent spray that provides outstanding superhydrophobic properties. When sprayed on the outside surface of riding glasses, goggles, and even your action camera lens, it prevents water and mud from adhering to the surface for unobstructed vision – even when stationary. I’ve been using it for six months, and it’s outstanding.

Known for its well-priced bikes, Boardman has also produced a wallet friendly flat-pedal-specific MTB shoe with casual styling that looks good. Reinforced areas at the toe and heel offer added protection, and the level of comfort is pretty good, considering the price. The grip on offer is pretty impressive, but off the bike, I could feel every root and rock through the sole, and some foot fatigue crept in on longer rides.

Oakley has always been a trendsetter and innovator. The Sutro model has been around for a while and was one of the earliest oversized glasses available. Bold and versatile with a large lens range boasting Oakley's Prizm technology, they certainly look the business. Super comfortable and stable, I had no issues with compatibility with any of my MTB or gravel helmets. Optical clarity and colour separation are phenomenal in bright conditions, and they look awesome.

The WTB Rocket should appeal to enduro riders, e-bikers, and anyone who spends a lot of time in the saddle. Designed for comfort, the generous curved shape features a hidden ramped backstop to the rear for increased support for seated climbing.

Known for its high-end saddles and shoes, Fizik’s kit is engineered for performance, and it seems everyone’s got a little excited about Fizik’s venture into the helmet game. The new Kassis MTB helmet builds on this, adding high-end Mips Air Node protection, extended coverage, a custom crown adjustment cradle system, massive amounts of venting and some neat safety features. It gets a five-star rating from Virginia Tech, and that's as good as it gets.
