One Industries Gamma DH shorts


THE GAMMA DOWNHILL shorts certainly aren't cheap, but the impressive list of features goes some way towards justifying the price tag. A moto style ratchet buckle keeps things snug, while the silicone strip around the waistline holds them perfectly in place when riding.

The tough material has fended off its fair share of crash damage during testing, but the lack of vents makes for a hot ride. The fitted cut is comfy and the shorts are pretty light considering their intended use. There's one zipped pocket at the back that's just about big enough for a smartphone, but having anything more than a lift pass in there doesn't feel good when you're riding.

PRICE  113$

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'.

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.

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.

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.
