SUNringle Charger Pro SL wheels


SUN'S CHARGERS USE a Stan's-licensed rim profile that's light and durable and come with prefitted tape and valves so they blow up really easily with a track pump. 

They support mid-width tyres fine and low weight means they put a noticeable punch in your power and a spring in your singletrack step. Super-light, bladed straight-pull spokes mean tracking is springy rather than pin sharp but they shrug off damage well. They also come with every imaginable axle converter, plus bottles of tubeless sealant in the box.

Bearing life has improved (it was dreadful) but even our latest sets have started feeling rough pretty quickly. The company's Charger Pro wheels are only 40g heavier and actually 1mm wider for 160$ less too, making them the better value pick.

Weight: 1,660g (780g F, 880g R)
Rim: 22/27mm
Freehub lag: 75°
Tubeless type: taped
Sizes: 26in, 650b, 29in.
Options: QR/15/20mm F, QR135x10/135x12/142x12mm R
XD: Yes

PRICE 1030$

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.

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.

Canyon Spectral AL 6.0

Round two, and the 6.0 leaps out of the blocks. From the moment we're off the smaller wheeled Spectral wants to go flat out. Standing on the pedals on the small steep climbs is slightly more reactive, surging the Spectral forward that little more eagerly. We need more body language to get the wheels over the roots, but again the 2.4in Mountain King's tread impresses.
