Gusset Slade handlebar


THE UPDATED VERSION of Gusset's aggro all-rounder holds its position in our cockpit charts as well as it holds your position on the trail. The 760mm width boosts steering leverage and there are cut marks if you keep clipping trees.

The extra width has been added without affecting its balance of accurate feedback and shock absorption too. On the trail that means decent traction information transmission without tiring slap and sting blowing your arms up on rocky trails. The backsweep and upsweep are pretty neutral so it feels natural from the start, and the red, black and blue colour options are the only remotely bruising part of this well-priced 'everything you need' bar. We've seen Slades survive serious slams and it comes with a two-year limited warranty too.

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

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'.

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.
