Race Face’s Flank Core body protector is the usual case of less is more. It marries a simple, comfortable and breathable tee with useful-but-comprehensive protection. It does come with a few foibles, however, as it’s tough to take off and the seams aren’t of the highest quality but, for the cash, it’s an ideal companion for the occasional trip to the bike park or the odd local race. 

Touted as an enduro-spec full-face helmet, the Fox ProFrame RS offers unparalleled airflow and serious comfort in a package that can easily be considered one of the best full-face MTB helmets.

The Ragley Big Al is a gravity-focussed alloy-framed hardtail that’s received a reasonable update for 2023.

It took riders to the top of podiums and showed the world what was possible with carbon-fibre construction. Now, Scott has created a modern interpretation of the Endorphin and it looks incredible.

Giant has completely revamped its Roost and Rail MTB helmets. As well as a new look, the pair of lids get a range of updates in a bid to make them breezier, comfier, and more protective.

Sweet Protection’s Memento RIG Reflect sunglasses offer excellent coverage with an impressively wide range of adjustability and effective fog resistance. Although its lens is clear and very useful in its intended conditions, its tint limits use and the fact it’s not replaceable impairs the glasses’ versatility.

Privateer's trail focussed 141 and enduro 161 are bikes that have gone down rather well in our tests and with the launch of the E161 and the DJ101, the brand has been rather busy.
