The TIMBER Bolt-On is identical to the original Timber model, except it features a tight, durable mount that won't spin, shake or rattle on your bars. Similar to a GPS or Garmin mount, the flexible nylon band tightens to your bars with a 5mm hex bolt. The band itself is 31.8 mm diameter, the same as the wider part of your bars near the stem. It also includes a flexible 22.2 mm shim, for mounting your bell securely near your grips, closer to your hands. (For oversize and DH bars, you will want to use the shim and mount near the grips.)

Installation is easy. There is no need to remove the grips, brakes, etc. Just flex the clamp open and slide onto your bar.

The Flow guards are the ideal option if you are looking for a super-thin, light, and comfortable knee protector. These pads are designed to be compact to fit in any backpack. The integrated XmatterTM padding concept provides high-impact absorption and protection, and the AeroMeshTM adds a higher level of comfort and structural strength. The Flow guards also allow you to remove the padding should you need to throw the sleeve in the wash or replace padding which has lost its structural integrity.

The trailblazing A2 is Troy Lee Designs’ mountain bike trail helmet that checks all the boxes. Its stylish shell not only incorporates huge intake and exhaust ventilation ports, but it also comes with the very best in impact protection. From breakaway visor screws and the innovative MIPS® system and an industry-first dual-density EPP + EPS liner that protects against both high and low-speed impacts; this is a helmet that doesn’t take your safety lightly. Add in an adjustable strap and X-Static® Pure Silver comfort liner and the comfort is every bit on par with the protection.
