GT FURY TEAM


WITH TWO SEASONS of racing under its wheels, the redesigned Fury has quickly cemented itself as one of the most successful bikes on the downhill circuit.

For 2015, GT have retained the overall look and feel of the 2014 model but added larger 650b wheels and reduced the travel to 210mm (8.3in), bringing this podium threat of a bike bang up to date. The Team model here sits just below the World Cup bike and offers all you could possibly need to hit up a year's worth of races without having to change a single component. The Fox 40 RC2 fork is easily adjustable and thoroughly proven, while the mixed Shimano Saint/Zee transmission offers smooth, reliable shifting and can take a real , battering. A Race Face bar, stem and seatpost, along with Continental's impressive Der Kaiser Projekt tyres, finish things off nicely.

PRICE 6000$

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'.

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.

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.

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.
