    It is a particularly hard thing to find gloves that fit, that last and also look reasonably stylish. The One industries Zero is a minimally padded and cleanly designed pair of gloves that are made for those who want to have full contact with their bars and are fine with sacrificing a little bit of protection.

    I was recently given a bottle of Smoove chain lube to try out while I was training for the Cape Epic, this is a locally made product by Spoke Works in Pretoria. I am told that the guys at Spoke Works have been working on this for a few years to get the product refined and working to their satisfaction. Click here to view the article

    One of the many offerings in the action camera market, ION's Air Pro 2 is just below their top product, the Air Pro 3, and is coined as the more affordable, but still capable HD cam for those looking to film their adventures. Click here to view the article

    I have been toying with the idea of switching to a dual suspension bike for some time and when Iwan Kemp, aka The Crow, offered me his Momsen VIPA for a test ride I jumped at the opportunity. Touted as a “Super Bike” the Momsen VIPA is purpose built for cross country and marathon riding, though this particular one had a few twists in its tail. Click here to view the article

    FUNN's Combat II grips are a bolt on, and forget product that lasts well beyond what the white colour would suggest. Click here to view the article

    Designed in South Africa and, funnily enough, inspired by the Braamfontein Spruit, the Rogue has had a quiet beginning. And this truly suits its style because it is beautifully understated. We find out if this translates into fun on the trail, where the Rogue was designed to excel. Click here to view the article

    When I go into most bike shops it's seldom I will see a helmet that is not suited to the road or XC purposes. There's countless options of them out there. It's not often you see something with some rear and side support – more focused on the trail and all mountain side of things. I set out to see what I could find that is readily available in South Africa. Click here to view the article

    SRAM recently released the Guide family of brakes that supercedes the Avid range of brakes. SRAM claims its been designed from the ground up to essentially address all the long standing problems that plagued Avid brakes. I recently received the RSC model to find out if SRAM has succeeded.

    When Spank set out to create the Spike flat pedals, they aimed to create a thin, lightweight platform pedal that could still withstand the kind of abuse dished out by amateurs and pros alike, week after week in all weather conditions. Click here to view the article

    Cyclist safety is a serious concern, especially when on the road. Many road cyclists and commuters have at least one story about their dance with death. Ikubu, based in Stellenbosch, have developed a device that they hope will better prepare you to avoid these close encounters. Click here to view the article

    Though a little before my mountain biking time, Onza (or OnZa) was one of the big brands in mountain bike tyres and other components in the late nineties. While the brand faded away in the early 2000’s more recently a swiss-based company relaunched the Onza brand and range of tyres. Click here to view the article

    I promised a while ago that I'd write a full review of the PYGA OneTen29, having given my first thoughts here. What follows are my opinions after about 150km of varied riding. Click here to view the article

    The idea behind designing and manufacturing a floor pump seems simple. Build one that will inflate a wheel and have a reliable, trustworthy gage. You only have to look at Topeak's range of floor pumps to realise it's not that easy, especially when taking the added demands of mountain bikers into consideration. Enter Topeak's JoeBlow Mountain.

    Hi Guys looking at purchasing an Axis a30 FS 29 2013 model. Does anyone own one of these or ridden them ? Please review or advise accordingly. Thanks Jules

    The idea behind the PYGA OneTwenty was to make a bike that you can ride just about anywhere, however you like and have fun. It's not meant to be a marathon or enduro racer or anything as serious as that. But I don't doubt that you can do exactly that with it while laughing the whole time. Click here to view the article

    Not all flat pedals are created equal and the FUNN Bigfoots are really no joke. Taking the heavy hitting approach, Funn has created a no-nonsense back-to-basics platform pedal. Click here to view the article

    Five Ten and their Impact Low flat pedal shoes need little introduction. They have been the benchmark flat pedal shoe since 2005, when the Impacts returned to the market. In the 9 years since then, they have expanded their line to include grippy sole shoes for just about any mountain bike application. Click here to view the article

    Unless you’ve been hiding in the woods high up in the mountains enjoying your own private trail system for the last couple of years, you’re going to have heard about the fat bike phenomenon. Being an inquisitive bike rider, I couldn’t help but want to try one of these beasts. Thankfully, the team at Fat Bike Co South Africa were willing to let me pretend to own one of their Borealis fat bikes for a couple of weeks. Click here to view the article

    Once in a while a bike comes along that exceeds my expectations and reminds me why I enjoy riding. The 2014 Merida One-Forty 1-B has been one of these bikes. Click here to view the article

    The current trend in mountain biking is towards wider handlebar and shorter stem lengths. To adapt, some manufacturers have began offering fatter handlebar and stem options. Enter the FUNN Fatboy 35 handlebar and Stryge stem, both made to fit an oversized 35mm handlebar diameter. Click here to view the article

    Although the days are getting longer with summer approaching, riding in the dark is still something many of us will do. Whether it's pre-dawn training or a “just-because-you-can” night ride you'll want a dependable and effective light. Click here to view the article

    There's been much attention on our forums about the 2015 Giant Trance. We were lucky enough to get some time on the Trance 2 at the Africa Cycle Fair. Watch our mini-review of Giant's R25,999 trail eater. Click here to view the article

    If you’re anything like me indoor training can be a bit of a chore, but often the sensible option to supplement training through winter. Even with a decent trainer and the distraction of TVs or iPads, I quickly get bored and uncomfortable. Enter the CycleOps PowerSync and their Virtual Training software. Click here to view the article

    Most sports watches I’ve owned have always shared a few common traits: they’re bulky, plasticy and generally a bit nerdy looking. Garmin’s fenix range of GPS multi-sport watches have changed all that. Their latest edition, the fenix 3, has been strapped to my wrist for the last month and as far as watches go, never mind sports watches, it’s a looker. Click here to view the article
