Dakine Rail jersey


SOMETIMES YOU JUST want simplicity. The Rail is very much of its type – a casual bike T-shirt made from a performance fabric – but it does the job well.

The body is made from wicking mesh, with lighter-weight inserts under the arms and down the sides where you need to create extra airflow. The cut is relaxed and there’s the usual lens cloth tucked neatly into the side seam. It also has a taped neck seam and feels well made overall.

The price is very good for the specification and it obeys the rule that if you’re going to keep it simple, you need to make it well. Early wash and wear signs are good too, and it looks as good down the pub with jeans as it does with your favourite bike shorts.

PRICE 38$

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

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.

Scott Scale 950

The Scale 950 uses the now traditional-for-cross-country 29er wheels to excellent effect, with a fast but fun character that's happy racing or railing.

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.

CUBE REACTION GTC PRO 27.5

Cube have kept their strong 29er race hardtail range for 2014 but added four new bikes with 650b wheels. The Reaction GTC Pro 27.5 is the second-tier carbon model.
