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$

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

SKS Airbuster CO2 inflator

The alloy Airbuster has a large knob so you can regulate the flow of gas, a mechanical stop to prevent the cartridge being pierced in transit and a dust cap to keep the valve free of debris. While it works with Presta and Schrader valves, switching between them requires a fiddly change of the valve head. The thin rubber sleeve doesn’t provide much protection from cold spent canisters. You can’t insert much of the valve into the inflator head, so you have to be careful to avoid leaks. Price $33 w/16g cartridge
