Balancing aerodynamics, lightweight and durability, the Reynolds ARX 58X Carbon Clincher wheelset offers class-leading all-round performance. Equipped with a 58mm carbon fibre rim, this wheelset slices through the air like a knife, helping you to motor over flat and rolling courses. However, weighing just 1635 grams per pair, they’re certainly no slouch on the climbs either. Constructed with a wider, tubeless-compatible rim, they even allow riders to seat tyres for more comfort, grip, speed and puncture protection. Thanks to the Ctg2 treated brake track, this wheelset is also up to 30% better at dissipating heat than competitor carbon clincher wheelsets, making them much more reliable under sustained braking. Paired with a set of Reynolds allroad hubs, the Reynolds ARX 58x Carbon Clincher wheelset spins exceptionally smoothly. To maximise stiffness and durability even further, these hubs are laced to the rims via 20 CX aero spokes on the front, and 24 on the rear. Importantly, Reynolds are so confident in the durability of this wheelset, that they even come with a lifetime warranty.

When you're on your mountain bike and taking on ever more technical trails, you'll want to remain mobile and flexible but at the same time have protection when it goes wrong. And the Enduro D3O Elbow Guards offer just the right level of flexibility and protection to inspire riding confidence. Innovative D3O® Impact Protection These pads feature D3O® Impact Protection, an innovative solution to protection for activities that require flexibility and impact absorption. The D3O® polymer pads are soft and flexible in normal use, allowing full mobility as you tackle technical trails. And yet upon impact, the foam immediately works to absorb and dissipate crash forces, far beyond that of ordinary foams. The elbow panel also features abrasion-resistant material, providing extra durability and slide protection should you fall. In combination with the D3O padding, this all provides protection without restrictions. And Breathe It's all very well being protected in a crash, but hopefully, that doesn't happen too often. And when you're enjoying being on your bike, the stretchy open-mesh panels of the Enduros provide excellent breathability and sweat-wicking. This prevents discomfort from moisture build-up. An anti-microbial finish also reduces bacterial build-up, preventing both odour and itchiness. And when you do need to freshen your pads up, pull the D3O® pads out and pop your guards in the wash to make them as good as new.
