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.

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.
