Tough but light, protective but flexible, the Carve Race Knee Guards make no compromises to your protection in a crash but still offer superb riding comfort. The first line of defence is the low-friction knee shell, fending off sharp impacts and also allowing the pad to slide easier in a high-speed fall. This outer is backed-up by the Xmatter foam, dissipating impact forces in a crash, protecting your knee from harm. In order to maintain excellent flexibility and comfort on your mountain bike, the Carve Race Knee Guards are made with AeroMesh, a light, quick-wicking and breathable material. This means you'll enjoy easy pedalling and full mobility across any trail. LoopLock straps top and bottom provide easy adjustability and keep the pads in place.
Made from X-Stretch multi-directional stretch (4-Way) fabric, the Carve AW Jacket certainly won't hinder your movement as you navigate your favourite mountain bike trails. And should storm clouds burst, the waterproof fabric, rated to 20,000mm, ensures you're nicely protected and remain comfortable as the rain falls. If it's particularly nasty the hood is helmet-compatible too, providing extra coverage for comfort. Of course, even in the rain, you can soon get hot and sweaty when riding. But that's not a problem here. The extremely high breathability rating of the Carve jacket lets sweat vapour escape, leaving you dry and always feeling good, even up the stiffest incline. Should you need some extra airflow though, underarm vents are just right to let in some fresh, cool air. Details such as waterproof zippers, taped seams and reflective reinforced elbow prints all contribute to the stellar performance this jacket offers. So, whatever the weather, you'll be out on your bike and revelling in the fun of wet-weather mountain biking.
It doesn't matter whether it's a cruisey blue trail or a steep and gnarly black, the Carve X 3/4 MTB Jersey ensures any ride you take on is taken on in comfort. Made from X-Stretch fabric, you'll enjoy a luxuriously soft feel and optimal stretch to keep you mobile over any mountain bike terrain. You'll also find it's quick to deal with any sweat you generate, leaving you dry during your ride. An anti-microbial finish ensures freshness every ride, and anti-odour properties ensure you're not causing a stink on the uplift to your next trail. And when it comes to post-ride relaxation, the quick-drying performance ensures you don't feel drenched (plus it dries quickly after washing too - perfect for regular riding day after day). This is a mountain bike jersey you'll look forward to pulling on and getting out riding.
The Carve Zero Insulated Jacket is a feature-packet all-weather mountain biking jacket that gets you comfortably on the trails when storm clouds break and temperatures drop. Starting with the outer, this offers a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, keeping out the rain for prolonged periods. Laminated and taped seams also prevent water from seeping inside. An adjustable hood and waist also let you really seal out the rain during the heaviest of downpours. While water is kept out, the Carve is also equally adept at ensuring sweat doesn't hang around inside either. A 20K breathability rating means that as you generate sweat during riding, it has an easy escape route to the outside, leaving you drier and more comfortable on the inside. And if you do need some fresh air to circulate inside, ventilation zippers keep you in control of heat regulation. When it comes to cold weather, the synthetic insulation to the body keeps plunging temperatures at bay, retaining heat generated from riding. The sleeves meanwhile are partially insulated, balancing mobility with warmth. When you're navigating rough terrain, the X-Stretch fabric also ensures you're not hindered as you throw your bike around.

Rain. Mud. Fun. Mountain biking in the wet can be full of thrills and spills, testing skills and grip to the limit. And when skies burst with rain, the Carve AW All Weather Pant come into their own. A waterproof rating of 10,000mm ensures that both drizzle and downpours are dealt with, keeping wet weather out for prolonged periods of riding. The fabric is also quick to dry, perfect for when the weather can't decide between staying wet or dry. For comfortable mountain biking, it's not just about the waterproof protection either. Ripping down slippery trails and pedalling up stiff climbs will soon see you building up a sweat. However, with a 10K breathability rating, moisture has an easy escape route, leaving you drier and more comfortable on the inside. Muddy trails also demand quick reactions and easy movement. And the Carve AW pants won't disappoint. The combination of 4-way stretch and an MTB rider-focused fit enables you to move, manoeuvre and pedal your bike unhindered. An internal silicone gripper and waist adjusters also keep your trousers locked in place no matter how riotous your riding.
The Kid's Carve Evo+ Elbow Guards are a flexible and highly protective set of pads that deliver comfort and performance across any terrain and when hitting any mountain bike trail. In terms of breathability and flexibility, you'll be hard-pressed to beat the AeroMesh construction. This high-performance 3D mesh is both breathable and quick-wicking, preventing sweat build-up. An anti-bacterial finish also combats odour and prevents any itchiness that bacterial build-up can cause. Silicone grippers provide a snug fit and this is complemented by the elastic Looplock straps, giving a secure fit without compromising flexibility. NockOut padding also adds to the comfort of the guards, ensuring you can enjoy all-day sessions of riding. Xmatter Protection Across the elbow, you'll find iXs' Xmatter padding, ergonomically shaped for a perfect fit. This is a viscoelastic polymer that provides optimal impact force absorption while remaining highly flexible - ideal for both on-the-bike mobility and freedom of movement. Its open-cell structure also enables it to withstand multiple impacts while still retaining exemplary shock-absorbing properties. The padding is also removable, allowing you to pop your pads in the wash or replace pads that have seen the end of their useful life.

Lightweight All-Weather Saddle Brooks England's lightest Cambium ever, the C13 is a racing saddle featuring a uniquely flexible vulcanised-rubber top combined with a weight-saving carbon frame. The C13 absorbs shocks and vibrations, keeping the rider in better control than common saddles with a static base and foam padding.

Technologies: Naturally Flexible Rubber: Cambium saddles are made from flexible natural rubber, harvested from trees. All-surface Absorption: Designed to absorb shocks and smooth out the ride. Continuously Comfortable: Provides natural comfort for the duration of the ride in all conditions, over all-terrain, performing consistently over time and through constant use. Moves with You: Rubber is a natural substance that reacts to and follows the rider's movements. Pressure Relief and Added Flex: A single cut out helps make our Carved saddles more flexible and better able to reduce anatomical discomfort. What are Cambium saddles? Cambium saddles are made from vulcanised natural rubber for flexible performance when riding, reducing shocks and vibrations and offering the rider an improved road feel over traditional foam or gel saddles. This construction of the Cambium mimics the leather saddle construction and therefore offers a similar “hammock” comfort. Cambium is also maintenance-free, meaning you do not need to adjust saddle tension. Likewise, the material we use will not be affected by rain. Cambium saddles are also available in a carved version for riders who seek to reduce pressure on the perineum or desire a more flexible saddle. How do I care for and maintain my Cambium? With the cambium range we suggest to check your rivets to see if they are still tight. Over time, due to the vibrations from the road the rivets can loosen, though this is a seldom occurrence. Remember these saddles are hand assembled in the factory, which means all maintenance can be done by hand. What can I do if my saddle makes a creaking noise? A creaking noise from your saddle likely means that the nose rails are rubbing somewhere on the rubber top. This can be alleviated with a small dab of grease. Additionally, a noise can be made where the rails meet the backplate by the little black rubber plug. In this case the saddle could be reassembled and a small amount of grease applied at the contact points.
