WTB Vigilante TGS 29x2.3in tyre


WTB'S ENDURO INSPIRED all-rounder has consistently impressed us.

With a relatively chunky 56.6mm width it can bounce you around a little at higher pressures, but drop it to 25psi and the grip from the split-top Dual DNA compound knobs increases dramatically delivering confident adhesion in arangeofwettoloose conditions without noticeably increasing rolling resistance. Like all of WTB's 

TCS tyres, it blows up tubeless easily and securely. The standard tyre weighs 810g and there's also an AM version with a tougher -albeit 100g heavier - casing for the hard-hitters out there. It comes in 26in and 650b diameters too.

PRICE 61$

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'.

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.

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.

CUBE REACTION GTC PRO 27.5

Cube have kept their strong 29er race hardtail range for 2014 but added four new bikes with 650b wheels. The Reaction GTC Pro 27.5 is the second-tier carbon model.
