Bliss ARG Vertical LD Day Top


Bliss are a new player in the market, but they’re making a good impact thanks to their innovative use of materials and design.

Their ARG Vertical LD Day Top is an interesting way to combine some extra protection, and storage, for riders who might not want to ride with a backpack. The close fi tting tank top made of a stretchy material uses the ARG padding (see our review on p67) along your spine with four small pockets either side for small water bottles (provided), a phone or multitool. Having the right fi t is essential, so they come in a broad range of sizes. Keep an eye on the importer’s website for stockists.

PRICE 229.95$

Sam Reynolds' Polygon Collosus N9

WHO IS SAM REYNOLDS? Hailing from South East England, Sam Reynolds is one of the UK's top freeriders, specialising in dirt jumping and slopestyle. But with mates like World Cup downhiller Brendan Fairclough, he also likes to get up to speed in the hills, where he's been introducing the Collosus to some colossal jumps, gaps and drops.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
