Production Privee CG bar & stem


ANDORRAN BOUTIQUE BRAND Production Privee have always impressed us with their intelligent approach and attention to detail, and this limited edition Cedric Gracia bar and stem are no different.

The direct mount stem has a fixed 50mm length and 19mm rise, and weighs 135g (including bolts). The machining detail is impressive, and the anodised green lines not only look sweet and match CG's DVO fork but perform a function too - they match up with corresponding stripes on the bars to help you get everything perfectly aligned.

The 25.4mm-rise bar has five degrees of upsweep and eight degrees of backsweep, making for a comfortable position on the bike. Wide enough for all but the biggest fashionistas at 780mm, it has cut marks to help you chop it all the way down to 680mm should you wish. There's a helpful patch of markings so you can get your bar angle and controls set up just right too. It's not too stiff, with just the right amount of trail feedback and no nasty vibration. At 300g, it's lightweight for a DH bar too.

PRICE 242$

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'.

DRC X-Monitor SP1 lap timer

While smartphone apps such as Strava can be a useful way to keep tabs on your mountain bike rides, sometimes you just can’t beat the simplicity and instant feedback that a good old-fashioned stopwatch style lap timer provides.

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.

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.

Formula CR3 brakes

The CR3 features a cartridge-type master, which improves power and modulation, plus it is super simple to service: The self-enclosed unit threads directly into the lever body. I took apart our test set and had it back together and bled in 10 minutes with no special tools. Like Formula’s RO brakes, the caliper pistons are actually oval, making more surface area–and thus, more power–than round pistons, but simpler than a four-piston system. The CR3 is best suited for aggressive trail riding.
