The 100% Hydromatic waterproof pants use a 2.5-layer fabric with a little bit of stretch and a rated 10k rating for both breathability and waterproofness – which is comparable with the highly recommended Troy Lee Designs Resist pants.

We tested the ‪@NorcoBicyclesOfficial‬  Fluid VLT in its shorter travel guise earlier this year, and regularly found ourselves wishing for a bit more. While it was a solid XC-type eBike, we were very happy to get the longer travel 140/150mm model tested here for our lightweight eMTB Shootout. What a difference that build spec and some extra travel can make, ride along as we review the Norco Fluid VLT C1 140. 

The Michelin Power Cup TLR exhibited one of the lower levels of rolling resistance in our Silverstone lab test.

The recently updated Marzocchi Bomber Z1 swaps the lauded GRIP damper for the updated RAIL 2.0.

Claimed to boost visual fidelity to the next dimension, ARmatic's 3D-moulded stiff lens should be distortion-free, an issue 'floppy' or malleable lenses can suffer from.

The Michelin DH22 Racing Line tyres grip tenaciously in loose and wet muck, but they're slow rolling and expensive too.

Pete heads south to the Silverfish Service Centre in Risca to get a first ride on the brand new Fox DHX Live Valve Neo shock.

Fox Live Valve was the first product to bring automatic, on-the-fly suspension adjustment to mountain bikes. In 2018, when it launched, it was a wired system that relied on brands to produce bikes that could accommodate it.

Fox has a new suspension system out called Live Valve Neo that will open and close your shock faster than the blink of an eye and make your bike quicker and more efficient on the climbs… and the descents too.

Fox’s first electronic dropper post is packed with features and insanely fast, but is it enough to take the best dropper post top spot?

The Michelin Power Protection TLR tyres are durable, grippy, and – unless I've just jinxed it – very puncture proof. They're ideal for anyone who wants a hardwearing but grippy tyre for day-to-day training and general riding – especially if you can find them for less than their RRP.

The 100% Slendale are well-ventilated, very clear and competitively priced cycling sunglasses.

Norco Fluid VLT review: rocking the Bosch Performance SX!

The Michelin Wild Enduro has received a revamp to improve grip, reduce rolling resistance and shave weight off the original design. 

Fox joins the bleep-bloop dropper party with the superb Transfer Neo. It’s fast and light action, and the remote is excellent too. Fox offers the Neo in more drops than the RockShox Reverb AXS—200mm, most notably where RockShox tops out at 170mm—and Fox lets riders customize drop force and return speed with air pressure while RockShox does not.

The 100% Slendale cycling sunglasses are one of the most affordable options in the company's Sports Performance Glasses range, yet they don't skimp on quality. They feature 100%'s top-tier HiPER lens technology, which has really impressed me with its superb contrast and clarity, especially considering these glasses cost less than £100.

Get excited lovers of all things high-tech, because the Fox Transfer Neo is here! A brand new wireless dropper post, the Transfer Neo arrives as the long-awaited response to the RockShox Reverb AXS. 

With over a decade of manufacturing cable-actuated dropper posts, Fox has now entered the wireless matrix. 

Earlier this year Fox Dropped the all-new Transfer post with some much needed updates. Today Fox expands on that Transfer product line with their first wireless electronic dropper, dubbed “Transfer Neo”.

With wireless dropper posts becoming increasingly common, and some 200mm variants finally proliferating the market, it was only a matter of time before one of the big players came out with their own long-travel option. 

Neo opened the door to FOX creating the best wireless dropper post in the industry, but it needed to do more than what riders already expected: a cleaner cockpit, easy installation and a short lever throw.

The wireless dropper post market has been heating up lately, with several new entrants throwing their hats in the ring. 

It's not a secret that Fox has been working on this, but today is the day they announce the Fox Transfer Neo wireless dropper post. Five and a half years on from the announcement of RockShox's AXS Reverb, Fox has finally fired back.

Featuring the all-new VPSHP, high pivot suspension platform, our crew was excited to review the new Norco Sight C1. The high pivot design may seem to be a drastic departure from previous generations of the Sight, but if you’ve been paying attention to Norco’s longer travel mountain bikes then the 5th generation Norco Sight shouldn’t be all that surprising.
