Got that Friday feeling? We have, and here at BikeRadar that means only one thing – it’s Friday five-a-side time.
You know the drill – five bits of road bike kit and the same from the mountain bike world each fight for their slice of the BikeRadar limelight. Let's go!
New mountain bike gear
Controversial as it may be, some people do choose to listen to music while riding – and these new headphones from Damson Audio are designed to improve your safety when doing just that.

Bone conduction headphones like these should, in theory, leave your ears open to the dangers of traffic and yet still allow you to hear the music of your choice. That’s because, instead of blocking your ear canal like conventional headphones, these sit forward of the ears and vibrates a wearers’ cheekbones – feeding sound directly to their inner ear.
They connect wirelessly via Bluetooth and, despite not exactly being subtle, can be folded away into a sunglasses case. An IPX5 water resistance rating means they should be able to shrug off sweat and light rain while the lithium-ion battery that powers them has a claimed runtime of between six and 20hrs of playback.
