Scott Prospect goggles


You’d expect a lot of goggle for just shy of $105, and thankfully that’s what you get with the Prospects. Both tinted and clear lenses are included, and Scott’s ‘Lens Lock System’ mean it’s easy enough to pop and lock whichever lens suits the conditions in a matter of seconds.

The deep strap (we’re talking around 10mm more than most other goggles here) gets two strips of silicone on the inside, which helps to keep it secure around your lid, while the three-layer face foam ensures they’re some of the comfiest goggles around. On the hill, the massive lens offers a wide and deep field of vision with nothing poking into your peripheral view to distract you. Even on warmer days we had little issue with the lens fogging up. After numerous cleaning sessions out on the trails, the clear lens remains scratch free and still polishes up like new once all the mud is removed.

Price $105

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'.

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.

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.
