Mavic Crossmax Pro helmet


Lightweight and low-profile, the Crossmax Pro is Mavic’s ‘allmountain’ helmet. It has a wide, adjustable peak that sits supersecurely but feels like it’s flexible enough to move out of the way in the event of a crash. The low-sitting retention band is easy to adjust, with a choice of three vertical settings, and provides a secure fit, coupled with the functional chin strap. ‘XRD’ memory foam underneath the padding adds extra comfort and helps spread the retention system load. We did find the forehead padding itchy at times, which seemed to be due to the material used and the extra warmth of the thicker pad. Generally, we found the Crossmax Pro to be reasonably well ventilated, although some testers did find that the bug netting towards the front of the helmet restricted airflow.

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'.

Canyon Spectral AL 6.0

Round two, and the 6.0 leaps out of the blocks. From the moment we're off the smaller wheeled Spectral wants to go flat out. Standing on the pedals on the small steep climbs is slightly more reactive, surging the Spectral forward that little more eagerly. We need more body language to get the wheels over the roots, but again the 2.4in Mountain King's tread impresses.

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.
