Bell’s top-of-the-range Full-10 full-face helmet lives up to its name in more ways than one. Of course, it’s a full-face helmet but it’s absolutely brimming with safety tech that, combined with a sky-high price tag, makes it a premium lid. Though pricy, it brings impressive comfort and aggressive styling to a package that’ll appeal to the most safety-conscious of downhill rippers. Its lack of airflow, however, limits it to purely gravity-fed riding and its asking price does put it out of reach for many.

Designed as Pivot's all-mountain e-MTB, the latest build of the Shuttle AM brings an array of new updates that places it in line with the rest of the brand's range. The most notable changes are the move to Bosch motors and a new vertical shock layout. 

The Scorpion Race Enduro M is the latest tyre to hit Pirelli’s mountain bike tyre range. Providing a soft compound and heavy protection for enduro- and trail-style riding, it supplies oodles of grip through an impressive range of conditions. While increased wear and drag will put all but the racer off from using it as a rear tyre, it’s not without a couple of easily remedied but irritating niggles.

YT has expanded its Performance Trail range with legwear. The Gravity and Trail pants and shorts add to the collection which the brand first launched last year, and until now offered a selection of jerseys for all manners of riding.

Since its release four years ago, Trek's Supercaliber has seen much success. The brand has brought some much-needed updates and refinements to its full-suspension cross-country platform, such as increased travel, two carbon layup derivatives, improved suspension, and unpdated geometry. Here's everything you need to know.

Late last year, Canadian brand Cervelo stepped into the cross-country mountain biking market with the ZHT-5 cross-country hardtail. This week, the brand has upped its game by introducing the ZFS-5 full-suspension XC race bike.

The 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships is well underway and this weekend Scotland is set to host its cross-country. In yesterday's Short Track XC event, Pinarello unveiled its new XC race hardtail, the Dogma XC HT, marking the occasion.

Great tracks make for terrific mountain bike racing, and the Glentress venue had technical track features aplenty. Typically Scottish weather ensured that those features remained tricky to master at race pace, enhancing the race spectacle for the local crowds. 

Starling Cycles’ latest bike, the MegaMurmur, is one that defies convention and sticks a middle finger to the whole ‘stiffer and lighter equals better’ mindset. The sheer simplicity of its beautifully assembled steel/chromoly frame and single-pivot design results in a unique ride that relishes speed and inspires the utmost confidence. In this build, it is a weighty chap but once pointed downhill, it’s an absolute riot.

YT Industries' Uncaged 11 bikes are curated with some of the finest componentry on the market. This time round, the Capra enduro bike and the small-travel Izzo trail get a touch of Swedish gold from Ohlins – and the result is mind-blowingly gorgeous.
