FSA K-Force Light ABS BB392EVO crankset


FSA’S NEWFLAGSHIP single-ring crankset is a great choice for powerful riders wanting to save weight.

The boxy hollow carbon arms with co-moulded spider and oversize 30mm axle are seriously stiff, no matter how hard you brace yourself against the bar and strain the pedals round. The BB392 axle/BB standard will fit BB30, PF30 and smaller diameter press-fit or threaded frames with the right adaptors. At a fraction over 450g, the K-Forces offer a big weight saving over most cranks too. The machined alloy chainrings use a unique ‘ABS’ bolt spacing, but FSA have a decent range of chainring sizes (30-36t). The subtly hooked, extended ‘Megatooth’ design is acceptably secure but beware of tooth-chipping boulder strikes. High performance equals a high price too.

WEIGHT: 452g
ARMS: 170,175mm

Price 675$

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'.

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.

Scott Scale 950

The Scale 950 uses the now traditional-for-cross-country 29er wheels to excellent effect, with a fast but fun character that's happy racing or railing.

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.

CUBE REACTION GTC PRO 27.5

Cube have kept their strong 29er race hardtail range for 2014 but added four new bikes with 650b wheels. The Reaction GTC Pro 27.5 is the second-tier carbon model.
