With a rich history steeped in the world of motocross, it’s no surprise to find that O’Neal’s range of mountain bike helmets have more than just a smattering of MX blended into their mix. Strong graphics combine with in-your-face colours and big peaks to ensure wearers are in no doubt as to the pedigree of this legendary brand. The Pike...
The O’Neal Fury has been a best seller for some time and now comes packaged with the latest MIPS technology. Although this adds a hundred or so grams to the deal, luckily they had started with one of the lighter full-face lids on the market, so it still comes in at a lean 1100g. In my opinion, that's a small...

Not as 'hardcore' as some of O'Neal's more aggressive moto-inspired clothing, the Rockstaker short is a fairly casual trail short. Available in three different colours which match into the ever-so-colourful O'Neal range, or can easily be worn with other brands, especially if you choose black. Featuring waist adjustment and velcro hem tabs, it has plenty of flexibility in size and...
O'Neal has been in the MX game since the ’60s, but it wasn’t until the late ’80s when it entered the mountain bike market. Jim O'Neal was an MX rider during the birth and the initial growth of the sport. Driven by a need to help himself and his fellow riders to progress in the sport, Jim started to design...
The Stinger II is a flat pedal shoe from O’Neal and fits within a range which includes their Torque SPD shoe and high top Trigger flat shoe. The style follows a classic skater style shoe, with bold contrasting colours and stitched leather panels. The sole unit is a honeycomb textured rubber which O’Neal call Honey Rubber. This is made up...
As knee pads become nearly as common as helmets for mountain bikers, the range of options grows ever more extensive. From O'Neal, we have their AMX Zipper pads, which do offer something slightly different from the norm. The clue is in the name, and the zip up the side allows the pads to be fitted without taking shoes off, making...
The O’Neal Torque SPD shoes are styled to look like skate shoes and carry with them all the cool looks that go with that. Sleek lines and a with a choice of red, green and black colours there should be something for everyone. They feature a durable and lightweight rubber sole with a large cut out to insert your cleats....
High tops with waffle soles, or Honey Rubber as O’Neal calls them, due to their honeycomb appearance and the fact they are made from a sticky rubber - there’s not a lot more you can want from a flat pedal shoe! Having raced in their high SPD version, the Torque, a few years previously, I was intrigued to see how...
O’Neal have collaborated with legendary Spanish dirt rider Andreu Lacondeguy to design these gloves, and they’re certainly an eye-catching creation. The palm is a single layer of Clarino synthetic leather, as is popular in MTB gloves these days due to it’s strength, durability, performance and the fact it’s machine washable. A complete piece has been used for the Loves Dirt...
With Greg Minnaar having a signature colour way as part of the O’Neal Element Series you can be sure the Element FR shorts are built to last and have been tried and tested to the absolute max. Heavy duty fabric is used throughout the shorts with a durable Spandex stretch material in the crotch area and across the rear giving...
The Sinner knee guard from O’Neal is a high tech piece of kit. Unlike some other pads it uses a SaS-Tec Memory foam insert, which is vented and cut to provide excellent flexibility and cooling properties. The foam is pliable and relatively soft, but when it hits something it hardens in a relative manner to the force of the impact....
