Spiuk UHRA-M shoes


SHOES DON’T GET much simpler than Spiuk’s Uhra-M but what there is of it is really well done. The rounded-edge sole gets moulded-in toe studs for extra grip and the compound is soft enough not to skate around on rocks. Stiffness is OK for power pedalling without making you walk like a penguin too.

Plasticky toe and heel bumpers protect your feet from flying rocks. The same tough material is used for the two generous Velcro straps that control fit, and the patent leather effect finish transfers pedalling torque OK and cleans up like new.

Big mesh toe panels mean the shoes are cold and wet in winter but dry and cool in summer. You get thick winter insoles and thinner summer ones included though, which is a nice touch given the affordable price.

Weight 838g
Sizes 37-47

PRICE: 114$

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

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.

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.
