Maybe hi-tech but spendy gear with kevlar in it or similar.
My comment made with no ill will to MTbers BTW, I used to be one and raced XC when I was younger. I do genuinely think if they did it right Rapha could do well in that area.

A lot of people ride trails in pretty agricultural stuff because it gets such a battering it's not worth spending on hi-tech but spendy gear.
