Reverse Components E-ELEMENT 800

The E-ELEMENT comes in two models with either 25 mm or 40 mm rise and weigh in at a wholly acceptable 332 g thanks to the Reverse’s own lab-developed ELEMENT BUTTING technology.

POC Tectal Race Spin
A classic case: you’ve just shelled out more than € 5,000 for a new whip but you instantly tighten your purse strings when it comes to a new lid. But mate, listen, nothing is more important than being safe! POC have built up a solid reputation for creating innovative, premium products and their latest development is dubbed SPIN technology. It’s a safety feature that they’ve integrated directly into the padding. The new SPIN pads contain small silicone bladders that dissipate the forces of rotational impact, allowing a certain amount of movement for your head within the helmet to resist impacts. These gains in protection come at no cost to ventilation or comfort – just your wallet admittedly. POC’s products are positioned at the higher of market, but if you’re happy to spend on your bike then you should really consider the value of safety too.
Price € 229

And yes, it cleans the bike just as well as Mr Muscle. Just remove the most visible bits of dirt, spray liberally onto the bike, and rinse off after 3 to 5 minutes. Done!
