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$

SURLY INSTIGATOR 2.0

Ever fancied a fat bike but were worried about its lack of agility, flickability and general playfulness? Surly’s “26+”   wheeled bike could well be the answer, combining wide 26in hoops with huge 2.75in tyres. We hit the trails to find out just what the Instigator 2.0 is all about.

SPECIALIZED P.STREET 2

S pecialized’s P.Series bikes have been much loved hardcore/ jump hybrid contenders for years and this 2014 nugget is no exception. If you’re after a really well priced and well sorted complete bike package for jump, street and even better-groomed trail centre action then the P.Street is outstanding. Its rock solid responsiveness and short-stroke fork make it seriously unforgiving on rougher trails though.
