LONDON, December 26, 2024 – As 2024 comes to an end, Alex Evans, writing for BikeRadar, revealed his long-awaited selections “Gear of the Year”. By highlighting products that combine outstanding performance and practicality, Evans provides information about the equipment that has improved your cycling experience over the past year. The rounding includes flagship products such as RockShox Lyrik Ultimate MY25, Fox Elite Knee Launch, Endura MT500 Freezing Point Jacket II and the Worx HydroShot Cordless Portable Power Cleaner.
Rock Shox Lyrik Ultimate MY25: Performance benchmark
According to Evans, the RockShox Lyrik Ultimate MY25 fork, at a price of £1,079 (1,099 / €1,199), scored five stars. The Lyrik Ultimate MY25 is the Charger 3.1 buffer, which offers a soft and elegant driving experience. The improved setting of the buffer ensures accuracy on the route, with perfectly balanced low speed and high speed controllers.
“On the way, balance all the most desirable measures with absolute precision,” said Evans. He stressed the fork’s ability to absorb shocks and maintain half-day support without compromising comfort. Moreover, the customizable melodies of the fork are adapted to the individual needs of the rider, so it is a versatile option. Lyrik Ultimate is a product that has no plans to replace soon at any time.
Renard Lanzamiento Elite Knee Pads: Redefining Comfort and Protection
Fox Launch Elite pads have reinvented knee protection by combining luxurious comfort and robust functionality. When it was in £144.99, these pads won a five star examination perfect for their reflective design and premium materials. As Evans pointed out, the interior provides a ” spa day” sensation for the knees, while the compression adjustment ensures that they remain safe during intense activity.
The pads strike a balance between increase and flexibility, avoiding discomfort or restricted movements. Knee covers in half, Elite Launch pillows inspire confidence for adventurous walks. Despite its high price, Evans claims that pillows are worth the investment, especially for pilots used for poorly designed alternatives that cause bruises and discomfort.
Endure MT500 Jacket Release Point II: Winter Resilience
The Evans list also includes the MT500 Freezing Point II Endura jacket, a reliable option for drivers who save difficult winter conditions. Priced at £169.99, the jacket scored a meritorious 4.5 stars, aligning itself with the comments of Sarah, independent contributor in BikeRadar. Focusing on PrimaLoft Gold insulation and external wind block, the jacket is distinguished by maintaining the optimal body temperature during the cold climate.
Large two-way zip fans allow efficient heat management, while generous pockets offer extensive storage for large items such as MTB lenses. Evans recommends the jacket for sub-5oC temperatures, noting its superior heat and practical characteristics. It highlights its role in improving winter walks, particularly in the cold conditions of the Tweed Valley in Scotland.
Worx Hydro Shot Wireless Power Cleaner: Post-Ruro Maintenance
The Cleaner Worx Hydro Power Portable Wireless Power, at a price of £199.99, revolutionized Evans’ post-ride cleaning. This high-power jet washer offers 56 water pressure bars, effectively eliminating mud and screams without manual listening. The tool has a nozzle with five adjustable jet angles ranging from 40 to 0 degrees, as well as an Eco mode to preserve power and protect bike components.
Evans emphasized its versatility as it can connect to a pipe or draw water from a cube, making it suitable for various environments. The 20 volt rechargeable lithium battery allows multiple charge washing. “Post-ride cleaning of interest has never been easier,” said Evans, emphasizing the value of the product in saving time and effort during maintenance.

From state-of-the-art suspension systems to essential winter equipment, Evans Engranaje of the year 2024 highlights the innovations that have set new standards in the cycling industry. Each product, whether performance, safety or maintenance, reflects a commitment to improving the pilot’s experience.
