Trials Gear

Is the weight of a helmet significant in trials? A lot of helmet descriptions on the supplier websites seem to make a big thing of it, but I can't see it being the most crucial factor. Fair enough if you race a car and the g-force is trying to rip your head off, but not on a bike going at a walking pace, surely. As an example the Hebo Zone 4 weights 900g, and plenty of others weigh about 950g. But the Hebo 5 with built-in visor weighs 1200g. Trouble is, I quite like the idea of a built-in visor for protecting my eyes between sections.

Hello, i am looking for good footrests that are strong and open so no mud stays in, wanted the titanium raptors but no longer for sale what could be a good 2nd choise ? kind regards bob

What are the pros and cons of fast and slow action throttles?

What are the coldest and least waterproof boots? I love my Forma Boulders enough to have two pairs, but holy hell they get hot! Is there anything on the market that's reasonably priced and has big holes in it? I might ask a shoe repair place to add some holes to my rough pair or something

Hi Guys I have got a pair of white hebo boots but have just read some of the bad press about them on here. out of the fallowing list which are best might go back and change them:- Wulf sport La Forma Boulder xc-ting

I need to buy boots for riding my trials bike (I'm just playing on it rather than doing comps) and I also need boots for riding on the road, Adventure Touring style. I know there might be some compromises, but does anyone know of a boot that would do both well? I need the grippy tread and flexibility for trials, but the protection and weather resistance for road.

Hi guys, looking for some advice. Im new to riding and having a struggle with my boots. I have some Novogah boots which have a stiffening/protection strip running down the back, this ends just above my heel and during 2 hours riding yesterday I managed to chafe the skin off the backs of the ankles quite badly. Any solution? I was thinking about a piece of mudflap material or something but I would imagine I'd get some more sensible suggestions on here. Thanks in advance guys.

If anyone is thinking about getting new trials kit, personally, Raw Sports is the one to get! Raw Sports is made by Hebo, which everyone knows is good kit and Raw Sports have some great designs too! Had some Clice kit pervious to my new Raw Sports kit, and thought it was very cheaply made, ripped and broke easily and only lasted me 8 months. Has anyone else found this with Clice kit? Thanks

Looking at buying some beta riding gear, and the nicest stuff i can find is on the Bosi website. Has anyone from the UK ordered from them? as it is based in italy i dont want to go spending a few hundred quid and not getting the goods! cheers

Hey folks! Has anyone ever heard of Stupidgreg.com..... ? I just bought another trials bike after a few years away from the sport and was looking for good prices on gear and apparel and found this site. Like I stated, it seems to good to be true..... They do not accept Pay Pal like most places in the USA and I can't seem to find anything on the net about them as a company. Anyone, unfortunately, get burned by them? Thanks

Hi all, Am thinking about getting a camera (gopro etc)and and getting some good advice. Was just wondering peoples views on here plus whats the best mount position? Bars will give the bike route view whilst helmet will get a good perspective on where the eyes track within the section? I know its a fairly wide angle lens but was wondering peoples views on mount position?

After trawling through all the threads about 'Which Boot' to go for I have finally decided to try out the Novogar in Nabuk/Red. I am new to trials and have obviously no preference or anything to go by, meaning i would have to make a decision on recommendations and reviews alone. From what i could gather this is the conclusions I came up with in each brand. Gaerne - Top quality brand, really well made. The model choice is either: Oiled leather (

I looking for some pics of the oldshool MPA Fantic style helmets, the ones with the little visors and came with the blue and red square (Fantic) decals to stick on them. The closest i can find when Googlin is that infamous pic of big john. Cheers:)

I have some new sidi zero boots and they are not water proof at all .walking in ankle deep streams lets water in straight away,is this normal or could they be faulty ? The old gaernes seamed a lot better.

Hello all, Iam relativley new to trials and i want to purchase some good strong quality gloves that can cope with a LOT of spills (that will be a 5) can anyone help ?

Does MX trousers and jerseys differ much from trails equivalents. MX gear seems better value and more options.
