lightweight luggage with a built-in roll cage<br />
Equipment<br />
WHERE’S<br />
YOUR<br />
HEAD AT?<br />
A safer place if<br />
it’s inside a multidirectional<br />
impact<br />
protection helmet<br />
D3 CARBON MIPS<br />
Is it the bike that wins<br />
the race, or the rider?<br />
Turns out it might be the<br />
helmet – the Troy Lee<br />
D3 has won more DH<br />
World Cups, <strong>Red</strong> Bull<br />
Rampages and Olympic<br />
medals than any other.<br />

When British saloon-car racer John Aley devised the roll bar in 1964 to save drivers’ lives in serious crashes, he probably never<br />
imagined it being used to protect mountain bikes in long-haul transit – but that’s exactly what inspired the patented Db Roll<br />
Cage in this bike bag. Capable of accommodating any size of mountain bike, the aluminium frame combined with an otherwise<br />
soft-bag structure makes it surprisingly light, and, when not in use, it folds up to 35 per cent of its full size. douchebags.com<br />
FULL-9 FUSION MIPS<br />
Bell Helmets may have<br />
a slightly amusing name,<br />
but the brand takes its<br />
work seriously. This fullface<br />
fibreglass cranium<br />
case is the MTB variant<br />
of its award-winning<br />
Moto-9 motocross shell.<br />

TRUST PERFORMANCE<br />
MESSAGE FORK<br />
FORK TO THE FUTURE<br />
Suspension so smooth you can ride<br />
the mountain drinking a cup of tea<br />
Dave Weagle is kind of a big deal in mountainbiking<br />
circles. He’s the mad professor behind<br />
the most successful rear suspension in downhill<br />
competition history – the DW-link – and now<br />
he has done the same for front forks, replacing<br />
telescopic suspension with a trailing multi-link<br />
(that’s the arm you can see behind the fork) that<br />
delivers insane stability and cushioning. <strong>The</strong> only<br />
shock is the price: £2,500. trustperformance.com<br />
100% AIRCRAFT<br />
CARBON MIPS<br />
A fancy name that<br />
describes exactly what<br />
it is: a tough shell built<br />
from an aerospace mix<br />
of carbon and Kevlar,<br />
with 25 airflow channels<br />
to keep your noggin cool.<br />
