Endura Singletrack helmet


THE SINGLETRACK IS Endura's second stab at an MTB helmet and it's got a lot of good points. It's lightweight at 278g, has great airflow thanks to big full-length vents and worked with all the riding glasses we tried it with.

It's not the most comfy lid when you first try it on but its light weight meant we didn't notice any discomfort out on the trail, and while its angular looks weren't universally liked in the office, they do make it stand out from the crowd. It's a good price too. It's got an Achilles' heel though - the peak. It's far too long and non-adjustable, so it constantly juts into your vision. And we're not talking peripheral vision - it sticks out so far that it blocks out light in the woods and spoils your view of the trail. And the lower you run the rear cradle, the more it tips the lid forward. Unless you want to remove the peak for the 'XC racer' look, there are better options out there.

PRICE 100$

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.
