WTB Volt Race saddle


This well-padded number could be a good choice for those who don’t like to wear bibs or liners. The thick, soft foam padding means little sit bone trouble, even on bumpy rides with no chamois, and thanks to the deep pressure-relief groove, we didn’t have any perineum pain on flatter ground, though things got complicated on steeper terrain. When leant forward for climbing, the pronounced lump in the nose can become very uncomfortable, putting pressure right where you don’t want it. We pointed the saddle down to compensate, but the upturned rear then poked us in the glutes on flatter ground and got in the way a little when descending. Some of our testers get on well with this shape, but if you do a lot of steep scrambles, we’d look elsewhere. The thick padding makes it hard to clean too.

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.

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.
