PYGA ONEFORTY650 PASCOE


SOUTH AFRICA’S PYGA Industries are a brand on the up, with a series of frames designed for having fun at their core.

Combining clever geometry with a floating shock suspension design said to offer efficient pedalling and remain active under braking, the Oneforty650 Pascoe is their trail-slaying 140mm (5.5in) travel offering. Designed around the 650b wheel size and a 150-160mm (5.9-6.3in) fork, the Pascoe has a tapered head tube, 12mm rear axle and internal cable routing. The frame is available in three sizes and comes with a RockShox Monarch RT3 shock. You certainly won’t miss this taxi-yellow machine on the scene this year.

PRICE 2600$ (frame and shock)

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'.

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.

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 Spectral AL 6.0

Round two, and the 6.0 leaps out of the blocks. From the moment we're off the smaller wheeled Spectral wants to go flat out. Standing on the pedals on the small steep climbs is slightly more reactive, surging the Spectral forward that little more eagerly. We need more body language to get the wheels over the roots, but again the 2.4in Mountain King's tread impresses.
