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.

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'.

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.

YT Tues downhill bike

The new Tues downhill bike is here – and won a World Cup on its first outing While a number of big brands have launched 29er downhill bikes,YT Industries are sticking with proven 650b wheels – for now, at least. The latest Tues comes in five sizes (S-XXL), with the biggest sporting a reach of 495mm. Head tube and chainstay lengths now vary between sizes, to put the rider in a better position on the bike. The S-L bikes have 435mm stays, while the XL and XXL are a shade longer, at 440mm. Reach is longer than last year on some sizes, including the XL ridden to victory by Aaron Gwin at this year’s openingWorld Cup round.A reachadjust headset can be used to tailor the fit further. YT have also made subtle but significant changes to the suspension. The initial stroke is said to be more sensitive, while there’s more mid-stroke support, to sit the bottom bracket a shade higher when on track.YT have decreased end-stroke progression, by five per cent, to make tackling really big hits th...
