Morvelo Stealth LS jersey


If you’re not a fan of fluoro and are looking for a more understated look on the bike, then the Morvelo Stealth jersey could be the one for you. With only a small ‘MV’ logo on the front and white detailing on the cuff, it’s both simple and stylish. The cut is relaxed but not overly baggy, so it’s ideal for trail riding and downhill too, if you don’t wear bulky body armour. For a 6ft rider we found the large size was bang on.

The fabric is breathable, and the construction integrates mesh panels down the sides of the body to help keep you cool and a hidden sunglasses wipe on the inside of the waist hem. Flatlock stitching helps avoid chafing. Being black, it’s never going to be an ideal hot weather choice, but otherwise, if you’re after a subtle, well fitting and wellconstructed jersey, look no further.

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.

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.

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.

SKS Airbuster CO2 inflator

The alloy Airbuster has a large knob so you can regulate the flow of gas, a mechanical stop to prevent the cartridge being pierced in transit and a dust cap to keep the valve free of debris. While it works with Presta and Schrader valves, switching between them requires a fiddly change of the valve head. The thin rubber sleeve doesn’t provide much protection from cold spent canisters. You can’t insert much of the valve into the inflator head, so you have to be careful to avoid leaks. Price $33 w/16g cartridge

KONA SHRED

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.
