NS Bikes Fuzz 1


Polish brand NS are best known for their dirt and street frames, but for the past few years they’ve been steadily refining their trail and downhill ranges too. Their Fuzz DH rig certainly looks the business, with a slack 62.5-degree head angle, a long front centre (which can be tweaked using the supplied reach-adjust headset) and a proven four-bar rear end. The Fuzz 1 is the top-spec model, with a ‘Performance Elite’ series Fox 40 fork and DHX2 shock, SRAM Code brakes and GX DH drivetrain, and NS finishing kit. At 16.93kg (medium) it’s no featherweight, but Sam Pilgrim has proven that it can take some hammer.

Price $6300

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

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.

iXS Asper BC shorts

THEY AREN’T CHEAP, but these well made and feature packed shorts are the epitome of classic mountainbike-specific functionality, and on the bike they don’t disappoint.
