Truvativ Jerome Clementz BlackBox handlebar


THE SIGNATURE BAR of enduro racing legend Jerome Clementz is unsurprisingly aggressive in shape. The 750mm width is a happy medium in terms of power-assisted leverage and tree dodging on tighter technical trails, but it's chop marked if you do want to cut it.

The seven-degree backsweep means a more aggressive, forward-weighted feel to your bike too. The low 20mm rise also encourages you to ram your bike down the throat of any trail trouble. The extended large-diameter rise section gives a rock solid feel with precise and very accurate feedback. It's a lot more forgiving over big hits than you'd expect though, and won't beat you up even on long black run descents with a ton of sustained braking. This all comes at a very high cost though.

Weight 221g

Merida Big Seven 100

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.
