Endura Singletrack III shorts


The updated Endura Singletracks are very much shorts of two halves. The fit through the body is very good indeed – the back of the waist is nice and high, and the rise is spot on for a neat, secure feel.

There’s stretch where you need it in the back yoke and legs, and zipped vents and a DWR coating for the Cordura fabric tick the features boxes too. Unfortunately it’s a different story for the bottom half of the shorts. The legs were just too short and too narrow for our admittedly tall but not especially beefy tester. And that’s a shame, because Endura’s compatible 3/4-length bib liner is excellent and the two pieces work together very well as a system. Our best advice is to try them – if they fit you, these shorts are a bargain. They’re also available with a (non-bib) liner for 21$ more.

Liner: No

Price 72$

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.
