Deity T-Mo Enduro handlebar

Deity T-Mo Enduro handlebar

DEITY HAVE A great reputation for downhill and dirt jump bars but this Tracy Moseley signature steering stick is all about the enduro.

At 212g and 195$ it's mid-pack for a premium quality, mid width carbon bar, although it's slightly narrower than most competitors at 735mm. What it lacks in width it compensates for in stiffness though, with none of the outer tip flex or bounce of some other 200g bars. That means you can tell exactly what your front tyre is doing (or how much more it can still do before you bin it), though you might wish you had a few less psi in it by the end of a long descent.

PRICE 195$

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

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.

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.

YT Tues downhill bike

The new Tues downhill bike is here – and won a World Cup on its first outing While a number of big brands have launched 29er downhill bikes,YT Industries are sticking with proven 650b wheels – for now, at least. The latest Tues comes in five sizes (S-XXL), with the biggest sporting a reach of 495mm. Head tube and chainstay lengths now vary between sizes, to put the rider in a better position on the bike. The S-L bikes have 435mm stays, while the XL and XXL are a shade longer, at 440mm. Reach is longer than last year on some sizes, including the XL ridden to victory by Aaron Gwin at this year’s openingWorld Cup round.A reachadjust headset can be used to tailor the fit further. YT have also made subtle but significant changes to the suspension. The initial stroke is said to be more sensitive, while there’s more mid-stroke support, to sit the bottom bracket a shade higher when on track.YT have decreased end-stroke progression, by five per cent, to make tackling really big hits th...
