Mountain bikes with suspension travel of 120 to 140 millimetres are back in vogue - and Race Face has the right material for this with the Era SL wheelset. A carbon rim is at the center, which weighs in very well at 384 grams. This is ideal for cross-country courses, even when the going gets tough.

Small but mighty, these are the electric pumps from Muck-Off that can be charged via a USB port. New on board is an LED display for the current tire pressure and a battery charge level indicator. Should the pump itself run out of breath, the internal rechargeable battery is restored to maximum performance within 30 minutes.

Speck - a name to remember if you're looking for bikepacking equipment from Switzerland. Bicycle bags, pannier racks and trekking food are rolling onto the starting line. The Speck makers place a particular focus on durability.
