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$

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.

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 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.
