SDG Circuit Mtn Ti-Alloy saddle


With a fairly conservative design, the Circuit Mtn has no unnecessary padding or weight, but many testers found it very comfortable. The shape is fairly flat, with a pretty deep channel down the middle to take all the pressure off your sensitive parts. Your weight is held by the firm padding on either side, which we found worked well with a chamois, but felt a little too firm without. The saddle really benefits from being tilted downwards at the nose, which aids comfort and support when pedalling uphill. Because the pressure-relief channel extends into the fairly broad nose, it’s particularly forgiving on steep scrambles. The low-profile upper delivers a direct feel when pedalling hard and makes it easy to move fore and aft on gnarly descents. It’s pretty light too.

Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

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.
