Specialized Command Post IRcc


While the original Command Post was a 3-position affair, this new one comes with ten for much greater saddle height adjustability.

The three main ones are still there and are super easy to find as you transfer from climb to trail to drop, but there are now 10 increments, spaced at 5mm around the mid-position – ideal for those who want a bit more trail tunability. While Command posts of old might have returned at a speed that left you wincing, the air spring is now easily accessible and ready to be adjusted.

At the lever end there’s the SRL (single ring lever), shaped like a SRAM shifter for ease of use on single ring bikes – otherwise there’s the usual bar top option too.

PRICE 375$

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.
