e*thirteen Plus 35 stem
£80

We'll start off with a small but mighty stem. e*thirteen has noticed that mountain biking is forever changing and that the needs of the average rider have evolved - and came up with the Plus 35 stem. This is a stem that's designed to be lighter, more secure, and super strong. And not only is it light, but it also comes in some very cool colours.
Lezyne Micro Floor Drive XL
£62
This one packs a bunch! Lezyne's Micro Floor Drive XL pump is actually hand-pump-sized (don't let the picture fool you) but it easily puts its full-size counterparts to shame. Micro Floor Drive XL was developed to efficiently inflate fat bike and plus-size tires and features an extra-large, high volume barrel which produces up to 35 psi (2.4 bar). It has Presta and Schrader compatible ABS Flip Chuck and weighs a mere 367g.
Bluegrass Legit
£170

If you're after some legit protection for your head, the Bluegrass LEGIT is a budget-friendly full-face helmet for enduro, BMX and downhill riding, equipped with many racing-inspired features. It comes in four colours, has 11 vents, a breathable chin guard, and a fibreglass outer shell with EPS liner.
7mesh glidepath shorts
£130
These 7mesh's best seller shorts are built with the same 4-way stretch, fast-wicking fabric found in their Farside Short, but the SS22 Glidepath shorts feature a new, integrated ultra-suede hook and ladder belt adjuster for a snug fit in the saddle. The storage has been updated with dual side pockets that can securely stow your phone and other gear. 7mesh says the reshaped gusset elevates Glidepath’s already amazing fit, while an articulated leg shape — which is now tapered and leaves space for knee pads.
YT Industries jerseys
£40

YT Industries is known for some cool bikes, many of which we've tested as well, but the brand has now stepped into the trail wear game with the new YT Performance Wear range. The new lineup of clothing features both long and short sleeve technical jerseys.
YT Industries' new Performance Wear lineup starts at £40 for the short-sleeves and goes up to £45 for the long-sleeves.
