Scott Trail Flow shorts


We’ve been fans of Scott’s riding gear for a long time so it was something of a disappointment that we didn’t warm to these shorts. The Trail Flows are made from an incredibly lightweight fabric.

They emerged from the packaging looking very crumpled and this didn’t improve much once on. The fit around the backside is extremely good, with just the right amount of elastic to hold the adjustable waist snug against your back. But they bunch at the front, which causes the legs to pull up as you ride. This isn’t helped by the light weight of the fabric. The removable liner has a low-profile pad that’s flexibly comfy, but overall we’d expect more from what are some pretty expensive shorts, with the warm weather benefits of the thin material being far outweighed by the fit issues.

Liner: Yes

Price 150$

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.
