Fly Racing Default Full Face Helmet
The Good
Excellent value, relatively light , have had it on for long periods in heat and have never felt the need to take it off because of over heating.
Looks really good, and gets a lot of complements. Very comfy
The Bad
Maybe not the best finish, but it is a budget helmet so maybe be expected, but still the feeling when holding and wearing the helmet is really good.
Overall Review
The face piece ended up cracked today after a massive OTB at high speed. It really did protect me, no sign of itcompletely breaking and causing further injury.

SUNringlé Charger Pro SL Wheels
Overall Review
by Steve Wentz You have probably all heard this before, and you will keep hearing it. Great wheels are like magic for your bike. They can make you accelerate better, hold a tough line and they will hopefully also last for a good long while. When the Charger Pro SL wheels from Sun Ringle showed up looking like just the ticket, we were eager to find out if they were up to the task, so into the grinder they went.

2013 Diamondback Recoil 29 Bike
The Good
Very user friendly and comes with a rear lockout which I would have never thought you would get one for it being under $1000.
The Bad
Like the title says a money pit. I've already had to repair it once and don't even mention the brakes(had to replace those too).
Overall Review
I like the bike but I feel like I am going to spend more money fixing it than it is actually worth. As a first time mountain bike owner I don't think I would have chose anything else.

SDG Bel-Air RL Saddle
The Good
Weight. I'm no weight weenie but this thing is pretty light, for those that care. Comfort. Very comfortable saddle that I take on long rides. Titanium rails are actually pretty compliant, great for my hardtail. Padding is enough to make 20+ miles bearable.
The Bad
None that I can spot.
Overall Review
I have had this saddle on my hardtail for the past 5 years. It has stood up very well, still comfortable. I just started to develop a hole in the kevlar side a few months ago, which I consider a huge win for the number of miles this thing has. Wish I could find it for the cliamed $72.35here in the states, I'd pick up 2 of them!

WTB Rocket V Race Saddle
The Good
Saddle shape "propels" you forward, I literally feel faster with this saddle.. Comfortable enough for the long rides. Stitching on the front of the saddle provides good traction when doing technical climbs.
The Bad
Bit heavy. Not my first choice for an epic ride. CroMo rails need to be tweaked occasionally
Overall Review
Bottom line: This is an excellent saddle for the money. I have had several over the years and continue to be impressed.

SDG Ti-Fly Saddle
The Good
Slim, not disturbing when going back over the rear wheel.
The Bad
Price is high, and only fit to a narrow Pelvic area.
Overall Review
After Few rides on this saddle i was surprised how comfy it is. I used lots of saddles in the past but this skinny saddle just perfect . Narrow enough so it notdisturbing and supporting enough so your private part won't hurt. To a summery a great saddle with a good Weight and support.

WTB Silverado (2015-2019) Saddles
The Good
Light, great shape, comfortable, simple design and color scheme, wide rear platform, rounded shape does not snag shorts
The Bad
Weak rails
Overall Review
I really liked this saddle, until a single fall ended its career by bending it WAY out of shape. I now have a Fizik Tundra and its taken the same sort of spill with no damage. It has a nice shape and design to work with any build. really comfortable when you need it, thanks to the wide rear and flat front. Does not snag shorts. Really nice saddle, apart from the weak rails. If you do anything other than Dh and Extreme Trail, this is the saddle to buy.

The Good
Cro-Mo Frame, Real sturdy, 9 lbs, Interchangeable dropouts, Single pivot point, Air sprung, Pedals nicely
The Bad
nothing i can think of
Overall Review
Great do it all bike it rides more or less like a hard tail but when you need the suspension its there for you.I have just started doing 360's and the first one itried on this bike I landed. A real flick-able bike and i would definitely recommend this bike to anyone wanting a full suspension Dirt jumper or just a bike to do it all.

2010 Yeti 303 R DH Bike
The Good
Attention to detail - extruded head tube, metal cable tie downs, wonderfully machined parts, internal cable routing, everything on this bike is well designed and thought out, adjustable geometry, single pivot simplicity, stable, lateral rigidity, fast, surprisingly nimble despite the weight, well suited for any type of DH riding
The Bad
Hmmmmm, could be a bit lighter
Overall Review
I ride a variety of downhill trails here in New England. Everything from flowy berms and jumps to rocky, steep technical trails. The 303 RDH is able to handle anything with ease. It has a short wheelbase and a nice slack feel which makes it ideal for railing turns and pinning it through technical sections. The rail system makes for a simple, consistent suspension action that is predictable every time. I also appreciate how well this bike is built. I see a lot of high-dollar bikes made with cheap

X-Fusion Vector Air HLR Rear Shock
Overall Review
Review by Johan Hjord // Photos by Johan Hjord and Tal Rozow Santa Cruz, California-based X-Fusion has been in the suspension business longer than you might believe. The company was actually already involved in making suspension prior to its official incorporation in 1999, and RockShox founder Paul Turner helps with product development, so it has a long history and lots of experience to draw on. You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a young brand, because it is only over the past few years that it
