EVOC Bike Bag Pro


While Ryanair or Easyjet will never be bywords for glamour, at least your bike can fly in style with the new EVOC Bike Bag Pro.

Previous incarnations struggled to fit 650b wheels in, but this has been addressed. If you’re precious about your bike and have let the thought of what baggage ‘handlers’ might do to it stop you from heading abroad, EVOC might have come to the rescue. A new plastic bathtub construction with added aluminium reinforcement should give plenty of strength, while inside there’s more padding and the straps are red, not black…

Much like any new bike, the new model is lighter and stiffer so you’ll now be faster across a departure terminal than a roadie full of doped blood. Possibly.

PRICE 600$

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.

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.

Marzocchi 350 NCR fork

Italy's most famous fork manufacturer aims directly at the high profile, high performance enduro race scene but it needs patience to reveal its potential.

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.

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.
