iXS Sports Division Trigger AM Helmet

New for 2019 the Trigger AM is the latest trail and all-mountain lid from IXS and sits into the Trigger range alongside their new knee pads of the same name (review to follow soon).

iXS Sports Division Carve Evo Knee

The IXS Carve knee pad returns in an updated form for 2016 as the Carve Evo. The knee guards retain their lightweight structure without hard shell, meaning a very flexible and comfy fit for a gravity oriented pad. Changes from the 2015 model include additional padding above the main knee pad, plus sewn-in Velcro straps that double up on themselves so they...

iXS Sports Division XULT

Enduro racing has been a catalyst for many mountain bike products over the past few years. Dropper posts, one-by drivetrains and 160mm travel bikes that can climb have all in some way been influenced by the enduro trend. When races became more full-on, riders started having to make choices about headgear, either down to personal choice, or enforced by rules....

Mountain Bike Reviews - iXS Sports Division Trail RS Helmet  2014
iXS Sports Division Trail RS Helmet

Although a relative recent addition to the biking wardrobe, this style of helmet has become a familiar sight on our rides these days. With more coverage to the back of the head than traditional XC helmets, and generally providing more overall protection to your noggin, they are becoming a good all-round helmet. iXS, known for their excellent downhill and gravity...

iXS Sports Division BC-X1.2

Whilst the name might be a bit of a mouthful the BC-X1.2 is anything but cumbersome. It’s a lightweight freeride glove designed to be comfortable and breathable for those summer days in the saddle. It is pre-shaped for the best fit and features gel padding on the heel of the palm. There is a Velcro closure on the top of...

iXS Sports Division Curva DH Shorts

The men’s Curva shorts from iXS are aimed at the downhill market and made from a very robust polyester-mix material.

Mountain Bike Reviews - iXS Sports Division Paljet DH Comp Shorts  2013
iXS Sports Division Paljet DH Comp Shorts

These shorts became a firm favourite during a recent DH trip to the Alps. They not only look great, but they’re totally functional and comfortable as well. The length of them is absolutely spot on; covering the top of your knee pads, but not catching on them when riding, thanks to the stretch material in the knee area. There are...

iXS Sports Division Sgol DH Jersey

A jersey is a jersey I hear you say. Well, yes and no. From the outset it might appear that way, but once you take a closer look you will find that some jerseys have a lot more going on and are more than just your average baggy polyester number. The Sgol jersey from iXS is one of these offerings,...

iXS Sports Division Battle Jacket EVO Ladies

There is a phrase in life that goes something like “you get what you pay for” and that is certainly the case here, the Battle Jacket from IXS isn’t cheap, £259 RRP. But it is stacked with features and stands head and shoulders above the rest. The jacket features armoured protection for the elbows shoulders and back. The breastplates on...

iXS Sports Division Hack Knee Pads

IXS make some seriously techy equipment, and at first glance these knee pads seem simple enough. Take a closer look though and you’ll notice there is more than meets the eye here.
