The whole system isn’t cheap and you do need dedicated water bottles, which aren’t cross-compatible, but I think the Fidlock Twist system is fantastic.
Schwalbe Wicked Will tyre review
Only available in 29x2.4in and with extra beef compared to XC models, Schwalbe Wicked Will sits between Racing Ralph and Nobby Nic.
Truvativ Descendant Grips review
Comfy and cushy, the Truvativ Descendant grips have a great feel, work well gloveless and are a massive improvement on previous SRAM grips.

TRP G-Spec E-MTB Disc Brake review
First thing we noticed about the TRP G-Spec E-MTB Disc Brake is it bedded in way quicker than the old Gwin brake. A few hard stops and it was biting.

Granite PITA Pedal Cover review
It’s basically just a sheet of thick neoprene wrapped into the shape of a pedal. The Pita comes in two sizes (large is for flats, small for clipless pedals), two…
Leatt Velocity 4.0 Goggles review
Leatt’s velocity goggles use a headline-grabbing bulletproof lens. I don’t fancy being shot in the eyes to test it, but it definitely seems better than plenty of rivals at resisting…
