Sixpack Leader750 handlebar


AT 305G, 750MM wide and with a 12.5mm rise, the Leader bar from Sixpack has a lot going for it, especially for the majority of trail riders who aren't after a crazy-wide bar.

The graphics are simple but include cut marks, in case you want to hack the ends down, and a decent marking in the centre for lining the bar up in your stem. The five-degree upsweep and seven-degree backsweep make for a flatter, more forward feeling bar than usual, which took some getting used to but became comfortable after a couple of rides. There's no harsh trail vibration and once you're used to the bar's shape, it's easy on the hands when you're riding.

PRICE 80$

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.

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.
