Cotic Rocket Silver


Cotic’s steel-framed (save for the chainstays) Rocket has a grin-inducingly lively ride, with more zip and pop than you might initially expect considering its 14.7kg overall weight. The ‘Fast Rolling’ compound WTB tyres help it feel rapid in certain scenarios, although they do feel a little skittish when tackling rooty cambers or on rocky hardpack sections. While the damping of the X-Fusion Sweep fork works well enough once you’re sat into the stroke, it’s not the easiest to get moving initially. Through multiple big hits where the fork fully extends as you skip across the top of bumps, you can also start to feel your hands and arms getting worked over. At 358mm, the Rocket’s BB is the highest on test and you can really feel this in poorly-supported loose turns.

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.

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.
