Ragley Wiser handlebar


RAGLEY'S EVOLVED WISER nails on-trail control in a great looking, great value package. The big change is an increase to 760mm width (from 740mm) for a useful bit of extra muscle.

The classic nine-degree backsweep, five-degree upsweep angles put your hands exactly where you expect at a comfortably natural angle and the custom-drawn 7075-T6 alloy gives precise control without bone-crushing stiffness so you won't be crippled by the end of the day. There are 10mm and 38mm rise options too, loads of colours and a matching stem (Ragley Stubbing, 65$) for a top-value cockpit package.

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

GT Zaskar Evolution

While some bike models last just a couple of years, others change with the times to stay at the top of riders’ wishlists.

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.

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.

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.
