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$

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'.

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.
