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$

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

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'.
