11spd: This week's best new bike gear

http://ift.tt/27ksOFY

You made it! Give yourself a pat on the back, for today is Friday and weekend is nigh. Obviously, you'll be working hard throughout today, finishing off those bits and bobs of work so you can embark upon a weekend of riding, unfettered by the weight of outstanding tasks. But it's equally important to take frequent breaks, and we humbly suggest that having a browse through our selection of fresh goods is a productive use of your time, best enjoyed while imbibing your beverage of choice. 

This week we have new cycling goodies from the likes of Endura, Bontrager and Gore, plus some products on the quirkier end of the spectrum, like an air pollution monitor for cyclists... perhaps not one for hypochondriac city cyclists. 

Talking of covetable kit, the BikeRadar Most Wanted Awards are now live, and it's your chance to vote on the kit, components and bikes that have caught your eye, got you lusting over them or saving your hard earned cash to buy.

New mountain bike gear

Endura MT500 Enduro Backpack

Endura has entered the mountain bike backpack market with the new MT500 rucksack, aimed at the enduro crowd. Apart from the fetching black and yellow visual design, it packs in a number of features. The 15l storage includes a removable tool roll, helmet holder, lightweight mesh straps, waterproof lower panel plus a number of external pockets and straps so you can load it up with everything you need for a long day on the bike. 

But the most notable feature of the MT500 Enduro Backpack is probably the integrated back protector. Produced by Koroyed, the EOP 1.0 spine protector is constructed from a sheet of hollow tubes that absorb the energy from low and high velocity impact, and a top sheet that helps spread that energy across the surface of the protector. 

The bag is, as you'd expect, compatible with various hydration systems, and you can also buy a Hydrapack version with a 3l bladder and hose included.
