wants to end the day battered and bruised?
That’s where this O’Neal Underdog 2 body

injection moulded plastic, an articulating
spine protector, extensive mesh venting plus
an adjustable elastic kidney belt. Removable

RUBBER FOR ROAD AND DIRT
With the MC360 range, Metzeler has created
a product it says sets a new benchmark for
versatility. The MC360 Mid-Soft was
developed for off-road disciplines such as
motocross, supercross, cross country and
freestyle, and as they’re homologated for
road use, you can now leave home on your
bike to reach your favourite trail. The knob
layout delivers optimal penetration and
traction in soft terrain, without sacrificing
durability, and they’re reversible, so when the
knobs are worn you can reverse the direction
of rotation of the tyre, doubling its life.
