Bontrager Foray gloves


Bontrager know a thing or two about making gloves that fit properly, and the Forays are a great example of this. That’s not to say they’re without faults though.

While Bonty’s Rhythm gloves get thin silicone strips on the index and middle finger, they’ve been a touch more liberal with the glossy synthetic rubber here, covering most of the fingers and some of the palm with a thick coating. The abundance of silicone print on the palm means that if your grips get wet, the Forays can feel really slippery, making you grip that bit harder to keep control of the bar.

When the heavens opened, it was a battle to keep at least our braking fingers dry enough to stop them slipping on the levers constantly. This could be unnerving, especially when knackered at the end of a ride. It’s a real shame, because in the dry the Forays had become a go-to glove for us thanks to the thin palm, stretchy, hand-hugging upper and super-comfy fit.

Merida Big Nine 100

Wit the bikes swapped over, we head out on the same loop again, this time on the 29in Big Nine 100. Whereas the Big Seven was snappy off the line, the 29er takes a couple more pedal strokes to get up to speed. That said, once it's up there, it's easy to keep the big wheels rolling, allowing us to cover ground with ease. The fire road is at times a little rough, and the bigger wheels roll over the imperfections so we barely notice them.

Chromag HiFi 35 (50mm) stem

This is a seriously solid stem. Chromag use 5mm Allen bolts throughout, which makes it that bit easier to fit because you don’t have to swap tools. Once torqued up to the recommended 6-8Nm, it clamps both steerer and bar solidly, with no appreciable flex. We couldn’t get it to twist on the steerer, either in our static test or when riding. It’s also available in a 35mm length and three other colours. At 204g the HiFi is the heaviest stem on test by some margin, despite being one of the more expensive offerings here. Price $112

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.
