Mavic Crossmax Enduro shoes


MAVIC’S BRIGHT YELLOW Crossmax is certainly the most recognisable boot available but it’s also seriously aspirational.

The Contragrip sole is grippy and surefooted on all terrain without catching on bigger caged pedals. The dual-density insole keeps you feeling connected but boosts comfort on otherwise foot-bruising rocky descents. Serious pedal stiffness means you can snap up to speed and the sole doesn’t flop over the pedals even when you’re grinding uphill.

The toe bumper, firm heel cup and carefully constructed upper give a super-secure but never numb fit even before you tighten the lace lock under the tongue and crank up the Ergo Lite ratchet. The raised cuff boosts protection from flying rocks and crank/stay clouts and the shoe lasts well too.

Weight 940g
Sizes 36-48

PRICE: 233$

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.

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.
