Madison Flux LS jersey


THE FLUX HAS a light, airy feel and relaxed cut, but the balance feels wrong. The front is very roomy but the back less so, giving the impression that you’ve got the jersey on back to front. Once you’re on the bike, it’s very snug across the shoulders too.

This is a shame because the fabric is good – it wicks well, dries fast and doesn’t smell – although the seams of the open mesh panel set into the back are really noticeable when riding.

It doesn’t seem to be a sizing issue because the jersey fits everywhere else, and it lets down a potentially good riding top with broad appeal – the Flux’s style is quiet without being dull and it’s well featured, with two zipped pockets plus a lens cleaner.

PRICE 53$

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.

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.
