Flaer Revo Terra Chain Performance System


Ever felt the need to lube your chain while riding along?Well now you can, thanks to Flaer. Their electronically-controlled Revo Terra system drips lubricant onto your chain via a small dispenser on the rear mech, fed by a frame-mounted reservoir. This contains 54ml of lube and weighs 168g when full, and can be mounted to bottle cage bosses or frame tubes (with the supplied straps). The system has five modes, depending on how frequently you want your chain to be lubed. Reported battery life is 150+ hours. The Revo Terra doesn’t come cheap, but it’s claimed to improve power output and keep your drivetrain silky smooth.We’ll report back soon.

Price $375

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now.

Scott Scale 950

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.

CUBE REACTION GTC PRO 27.5

Cube have kept their strong 29er race hardtail range for 2014 but added four new bikes with 650b wheels. The Reaction GTC Pro 27.5 is the second-tier carbon model.
