Ragley Stubbing Evo stem


SO GOOD
This distinctive looking 7075 alloy stem has a zero rise and low 30mm stack height, which will help those looking to lower their bar height or with a short fork steerer. 

Despite its small size, we couldn’t feel any flex out on the trails. Substantial machining means our 55mm version weighed only 179g, and the finish matches that of more expensive stems.We like Ragley’s ‘Lock-Down’ bar clamp system, where you tighten the two top bolts fully, leaving tensioning to the bottom bolts.

NO GOOD
We’d like to see bolts bigger than 4mm on such a heavy-duty stem. It’s also a shame there isn’t a shorter option.

PRICE 69$

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.
