|August 2024
Kriss Kyle's success shows where an obsessive love of bikes can take you - although it helps if you have a shedload of talent and a good crew!
As a kid, Kriss Kyle was a quiet, BMX-obsessed loner from Stranraer in Scotland, who dodged school to pursue his passion for riding. Later, he lived in a chilled and deserted skate park north of Glasgow for many years, slowly but surely working his way up from zero to the pro freeride star he is today, all with obsessive dedication.

E*THIRTEEN SIDEKICK HUB
Aimed primarily at gravity riders, E*thirteen's Sidekick rear hub is designed to help eliminate pedal kickback on descents - a trait found on nearly every full-suspension bike. Within the neatly packaged design, it offers inbuilt, adjustable float, designed to compensate for any 'chain growth' - which is what causes pedal kickback - as the suspension compresses. This helps to remove any drivetrain interference with suspension performance.

TROY LEE DESIGNS SKYLINE SUPERLYTE TRAIL PANTS
Troy Lee Designs' Skyline Superlyte trousers are designed to be worn on milder days on the trails, thanks to their lightweight construction. There's plenty of stretch in the fabric and a decent cut to ensure the legs aren't left flapping about while you turn the pedals. What's more, the deep, elasticated waistband helps to not only boost comfort, but also keep them firmly in place when you're shifting around on the bike. It's a shame only one of the pockets is zipped. Still, though, when it comes to all-day comfort on and off the bike, especially on warmer days or throughout transitional seasons, the Skyline Superlyte pants are tough to beat.
