Royal Turbulence LS jersey


The Turbulence has a generous cut, but well-shaped shoulders mean that when you move, the jersey doesn’t get pulled in all directions with you, making it comfortable to ride in.

Taller riders will appreciate the way this generosity applies to the length too – the jersey is long through the body, with no hint of riding up as you move around on the bike. If we were being fussy – and we always are – we’d say there’s too much bulk under the arms, but on the bike this isn’t as noticeable as off it.

It’s one of the warmer styles tested and more suited to cooler spring days than the height of summer, though the mesh inserts on the upper arms and shoulders do help by creating some airflow.

PRICE 69$

WHO IS SAM REYNOLDS? Hailing from South East England, Sam Reynolds is one of the UK's top freeriders, specialising in dirt jumping and slopestyle.

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.

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.
