Exposure MaxxD Mk10 light


The MaxxD has always been a costno- object favourite and Exposure sneaked us the latest version ahead of its official release. Its four-LED output has crept up to a 3,300-lumen max in the accelerometer-controlled ‘Reflex’ mode, which automatically senses faster/rougher riding, while the stopped setting is dimmer to save battery life. Modes are selected via the back button, while run times/ charge are displayed on the rear screen. Three spots and one diffused LED give a healthy level of light for fast riding, but capacity is still enough for big rides if used wisely. The self-contained design removes cable and battery worries, and you can buy supplementary batteries and a wireless remote switch. An appcontrolled 'SYNC' version is due in the autumn, but as it stands it’s our favourite smart grab-and-go light.

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.

Sam Reynolds' Polygon Collosus N9

WHO IS SAM REYNOLDS? Hailing from South East England, Sam Reynolds is one of the UK's top freeriders, specialising in dirt jumping and slopestyle. But with mates like World Cup downhiller Brendan Fairclough, he also likes to get up to speed in the hills, where he's been introducing the Collosus to some colossal jumps, gaps and drops.

RockShox Pike 26

Waaaay back in 2002, RockShox revolutionized the suspension world with the release of its Psylo range of forks. The forks came with 30mm stanchions, a lockout/compression adjustment, the travel was adjustable from 80-120mm, and......wait for it, they came with a quick release 20mm through axle.

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.

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.
