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.

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.

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.

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'.

SPECIALIZED P.STREET 2

S pecialized’s P.Series bikes have been much loved hardcore/ jump hybrid contenders for years and this 2014 nugget is no exception. If you’re after a really well priced and well sorted complete bike package for jump, street and even better-groomed trail centre action then the P.Street is outstanding. Its rock solid responsiveness and short-stroke fork make it seriously unforgiving on rougher trails though.

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.
