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$

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.

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.
