Endura SingleTrack Softshell jacket


Essentially a technical hoody, the SingleTrack is light and comfy, with a relaxed cut that’s all casual style off the bike but, thanks to a longer back hem and plenty of movement through the shoulders, works well on it too. The DWR finish will keep a shower off but it’s not waterproof, and if you ride hard it gets warm, though not to the point where you overheat. To aid breathability it has ventilation holes under the arms, but we’re not sure these make a lot of difference. Despite its simple styling it has two zipped hand-warmer pockets, an internal chest pocket (with media port) and useful inner stash pockets that are perfect for keeping gloves in. The taped back neck is a quality construction detail. In case you don’t love colour blocking, the SingleTrack comes in an understated black finish as well.

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.

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.
