Marzocchi 380 C2R2 TI Fork


MARZOCCHI’S ALL-NEW 380 C2RC Titanium downhill fork was developed with input from their World Cup riders and engineers with the aim of delivering a top-tier product for the most demanding terrain and levels of competition.

With weight saving at the core of the design process, the new 200mm (7.9in) travel fork comes in at just 2.84kg. The left leg houses a titanium coil spring, while the right contains the new Dynamic Bleed Cartridge, which, according to Marzocchi, combines the best bits of the sealed cartridge design and the open bath system that the brand are synonymous with.

The nickel-coated 38mm stanchions only add gravitas to the flat black paint job and red decals, making the 380 every part the race-ready product.

PRICE: 2275$

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.

GT Zaskar Evolution

While some bike models last just a couple of years, others change with the times to stay at the top of riders’ wishlists. In the second part of this series looking at the evolution of bikes that enjoy enduring popularity with UK riders, we turn to the GT Zaskar – a bike that was at the forefront of our sport for a long time and still has plenty of appeal today.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
