Truflo Minoot CO2 mini pump


The Minoot is an excellent, ultrasimple backup to have stowed away in a pocket or at the bottom of your bag.

Compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves, unscrewing the cartridge starts the delivery of CO2, and vice versa (although there are no instructions included to tell you that).

The foam insulator protects your hands from the freezing metal without adding bulk, but beware of where you store it, as dirt and water can clog up the exposed Presta valve nozzle.

For the money, it’s an affordable extra that will get you rolling quickly if you’re against the clock, or when dusk is falling in the winter months.

Save weight when racing, or carry it as a speedy emergency inflator.

Weight 93g
Dimensions 120x25mm

PRICE 20$

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

GT Zaskar Evolution

While some bike models last just a couple of years, others change with the times to stay at the top of riders’ wishlists. In the second part of this series looking at the evolution of bikes that enjoy enduring popularity with UK riders, we turn to the GT Zaskar – a bike that was at the forefront of our sport for a long time and still has plenty of appeal today.

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.

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.

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.
