As June comes to a close, it’s time to dive into the latest and greatest in the mountain biking world. This week’s Fresh Goods roundup is packed with exciting new gear, apparel, and accessories to elevate your riding experience. From cutting-edge forks to stylish riding trousers, here’s a look at what’s making waves in the MTB scene.
Formula Selva Fork
The Formula Selva fork is making a splash with its advanced features and sleek design. Available in 160mm, 170mm, or 180mm travel options, it boasts a dual-chamber air spring paired with an automatic Concentric Balance Valve for smoother performance. Other highlights include a new lower-friction piston, single inflation valve, redesigned lowers, 35mm stanchions, a PM7 brake mount, and an integrated mudguard. It’s also available in black for those who prefer a more understated look. Keep an eye out for a detailed feature on this fork paired with an exceptionally pretty mountain bike, coming soon.
WTB Peacekeeper Tyres
WTB’s Peacekeeper tyres harken back to the era of rugged semi-slicks like the Schwalbe Rock Razor or Maxxis Minion SS. Designed for fast rolling without sacrificing grip on technical terrain, they’re ideal for mixed trail conditions. The premium SG2 casing offers full-coverage puncture resistance, and the tyres are impressively voluminous, measuring 62mm wide on a 30mm internal width rim. Available in High Grip and Fast Rolling versions, they’re a solid choice for riders looking for speed and reliability.
Blackline Exile MTB Trousers
The Blackline Exile MTB trousers are a stylish and functional addition to your riding wardrobe. Featuring a quick-release ratchet system, adjustable velcro waist straps, and a water-repellent Nylon fabric, they’re built for comfort and durability. Waterproof zips on the hand pockets add an extra layer of practicality. At £60, these trousers are a great value for anyone looking to upgrade their trailside attire.
Supertrail Map Portes du Soleil
For those planning their next alpine adventure, the Supertrail Map of Portes du Soleil is a must-have. After a storm claimed the first edition, the second one is here to guide you through this iconic mountain biking destination. You can never have too many maps, especially when they’re as detailed and essential as this one.
Specialized Angle Adjust Headset Cups Kit
Customization is key for optimal bike performance, and Specialized’s Angle Adjust Headset Cups Kit makes it easy to fine-tune your ride. Designed to adjust the head angle of the S-Works Turbo Levo 4, this kit is a game-changer for riders seeking the perfect setup. After being installed, the bike’s head angle was adjusted to a more favorable 63.5°, significantly improving its handling.
Singletrack World Performance Ride Jersey
The Singletrack World Performance Ride Jersey is a versatile piece of kit that works equally well as a summer riding jersey or a winter baselayer. Made from super soft, wicking fabric, it’s designed for comfort on and off the bike. Available in light blue, dark blue, red, and orange, it’s a stylish and functional addition to any rider’s wardrobe.
