WTB Vigilante TCS 2.3in tyre


WTB's chunky Vigilante is a great -Jl all-rounder tyre, particularly if you're into tubeless running. The tread pattern uses wide placed split top blocks that grumble a bit on the road but it accelerates okay despite its big size.

It digs into a wide range of dirt very effectively and the dual compound gives reasonable if not remarkable grip. The big rounded carcass rolls easily into turns and the stepped knob pattern means grip stays consistent. There are enough well supported shoulder knobs to hang in pretty hard when you're cranked right over or crabbing across off cambers too.

The tall, fat body of the tyre adds a lot of air cushioning and WTB's tyres blow up tubeless better than almost anyone's. The high volume carcass is relatively light on the TCS version though so it needs to be kept well pressurised to keep its shape under load. It can also get bouncy if you're slapping it hard through a sequence of hits.

An imminent range renaming includes the addition of a new 'Tough Fast Rolling' blend that potentially offers the best of both TCS and AM worlds.

Big volume, easy tubeless all-round grip but floppy when soft.

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.

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.

SKS Airbuster CO2 inflator

The alloy Airbuster has a large knob so you can regulate the flow of gas, a mechanical stop to prevent the cartridge being pierced in transit and a dust cap to keep the valve free of debris. While it works with Presta and Schrader valves, switching between them requires a fiddly change of the valve head. The thin rubber sleeve doesn’t provide much protection from cold spent canisters. You can’t insert much of the valve into the inflator head, so you have to be careful to avoid leaks. Price $33 w/16g cartridge

Merida Big Nine 100

Wit the bikes swapped over, we head out on the same loop again, this time on the 29in Big Nine 100. Whereas the Big Seven was snappy off the line, the 29er takes a couple more pedal strokes to get up to speed. That said, once it's up there, it's easy to keep the big wheels rolling, allowing us to cover ground with ease. The fire road is at times a little rough, and the bigger wheels roll over the imperfections so we barely notice them.
