Lezyne Digital Pressure Over Drive
It’s a fact: Tubeless tyres are a must have on an E-MTB. But seating tubeless tyres is the worst job in the world! We’ve all been there, knuckles bleeding as we sweat over a tyre that refuses to bead. While inventing some brand-new profanity, we think, “Surely there’s a better way….” There is! The new Lezyne Digital Pressure Over Drive has a second high-volume chamber than can be charged up to 220 PSI before delivering a powerful stream of air that will seat even the most stubborn of tyres. It works, and better yet, with its wooden handle looks like something you would find in a hipster coffee shop.
Price: 165 €

Surly Dirt Wizard
[emaillocker id=”12845″]
Lets face it, when it comes to aggressive plus-sized tyres, most of the current offerings are about as much use as an inflatable dartboard. Feeble sidewalls blended with half-hearted side knobs are not the best in loose conditions. The new Surly Dirt Wizard aims to change all that; with sturdy sidewalls and side knobs monstrous enough to make a tractor blush, they look to be just the job for serious trail smashing. Yes, at over 1.2 kg per tyre you’ll be happy about every watt from the motor that will get them up to speed, but once stoked up they will be unstoppable. We say “chapeau” to Surly for finally releasing an aggressive tyre into the weedy Plus sector tyre market.
Price: 109 € (each tire)
Weight: 1.200 g

Specialized Bandit
The Specialized Bandit is so simple, but still one of the coolest products we have seen this year. We all want to ride free and unencumbered without an uncomfortable rucksack, but we still need to carry a pump and tube! Nothing’s worse than a flat when you have no tools to fix it. The new Bandit is an ultra-minimalist way of carrying a spare tube, CO2 inflator, and tyre lever. Combined with a multitool in your pocket, you have just enough to get you home should things take a turn for the worse. Anything that makes it easier to get on the trail is good with us, so this is great gear from Specialized.

Buff Merino Wool
There are two calculations in life that defy the world’s most powerful mathematical minds: what is the exact value of Pi, and how many different ways can you use a buff. The simple fabric tube can be used in so many ways that when the CIA asked their supercomputer, it spent 3 months silently calculating before announcing that the question was impossible and taking up Candy Crush and refusing to speak to anyone. This new merino buff has the same infinite number of uses but is also warm and toasty, and magically has no seams. Buffwear’s merino buff fits every human and is perfect for the intrepid cold weather adventurer.
Price: 30 €
