Softshell. Grip palm. Velcro cuff. Reflective detail.
The Limit Glove doesn't overcomplicate it. They keep your hands warm, keeps you in control, gets out of the way.
Wear tested at Lady Cannings. Cold start, wet trail, full send. These didn't flinch.
Trail Ready kit for UK conditions. That's the whole brief.

Some days the trail finds you. Most days you have to go looking.
Past the gate. Over the moor. The rides that stick aren't always the ones that go to plan, they're the ones where you committed anyway, packed light, and figured it out as you went.

This is the kind of ride where you stop more than you probably should… can’t help it with views like this

We hope you enjoy this ride and we’d love to hear if you do it.

Especially if you can update us all with any current conditions, cafe opening time or other essential information that will help others riding it.

We’re also planning to extend our monthly ride menu right around the country this year, so please let us know if there are any other classic routes or local undiscovered gems you’d like to see us cover here 🤩

Sorry, that is a bit of a rage bait headline, but E-MTBs are creating a fundamental shift in so many aspects of off road riding that there is reason to be dramatic.

Are E-MTBs really the future of mountain biking or could they be the death of it?

Sometimes it feels like it’s one of the regular scaremongering ‘end is nigh’ moral panics that technology has brought to MTB over the years. Some of us are old enough to remember the original MTB outcry amongst the horses and hikers who suddenly found their bridleways full of ‘lycra louts’.

But on the other hand it seems like E-bikes could be on the verge of causing some very real issues in terms of access, legality and broader future of mountain biking.

The ‘industry’ needs to be a lot more honest with itself and consumers about the reality of E-MTB and invest in creating sustainable attitudes, infrastructure and technologies. Because continuing to press boost and worry about the roost later definitely seems to be asking for trouble.

What's your take on E-MTBs?

You'll know by now but we are BIG fans of gilets here at Polaris.
That's why we're really excited to tell you the story behind our new off grid, grid fabric Aratus gilet 🔥

The eco, evolution story behind our new off grid, grid fabric Aratus gilet. If you’ve been following the Polaris rebirth story so far you’ll know we’re big fans of gilets body warmers, sleeveless vests - whatever you want to call them. So much so that we decided to make our dream gilet: The Ar...

This time last year we were riding in the snow 😱

Fingers crossed the sun hangs about and dries the trail out a bit 🤞
