Howies men’s bib shorts


Howies don’t disappoint with these bib shorts. They’re made from a polyamide fabric that’s fast wicking, stretchy and feels great against your skin. The small/ medium size was about right for our 5ft 11in tester, with long enough shoulder straps to prevent that awkward wedgie sensation.

They’re soft enough to not rub your nipples up the wrong way too. The foam pad is up to 8mm thick in places and provides enough cushioning in the right areas to prevent you crushing your private parts. A nifty pocket sits on the right bib strap that’s perfect for stashing your keys in. Even after not washing the bibs for a couple of rides [not something we’d recommend ~ Ed], the antibacterial finish helps to keep them whiff free.

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.

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.

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.

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.
