Specialized Enduro Pro shorts


The Enduro Pro is another excellent choice for spring and summer riding, thanks to its VaporRize shell, which the company claims transfers moisture and prevents your shorts from feeling clammy and claustrophobic. The Enduro Pro also possesses two large, zippered leg vents. The company’s DeflectUV 50+ treatment adds a bit of ultra-violet protection to the package – something, honestly, I never look for in shorts, but is a plus for anyone who spends long days under the glare of the sun.

Specialized characterizes its fit as ‘relaxed MTB’, something that’s a given, I suppose, for any baggy short. But that’s underselling it a bit. The Enduro Pro has a nice, ergonomic cut that feels natural on the bike. It also features a fairly long (14.5-inch) inseam that makes the short a good choice for anyone who favors kneepads. Waistband adjustability comes courtesy of dual Velcro side adjusters. Finally, Specialized outfits the Enduro Pro with its removable Body Geometry Mountain chamois–a particularly nice bit of padding.

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.

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.

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.
