Pit Viper The Absolute Freedom Polarized glasses


If looking awesome is your thing, then Pit Viper glasses are probably on your shopping list already. At 127mm wide, they’ll fit most faces without looking ridiculous, and offer excellent protection against bug strikes and trail debris when you’re shredding the gnar. This model’s polarized lens is best suited to sunny environments, but clear-lensed glasses are available too. Three adjustments – ‘Turbo’ (arm/lens angle), ‘E-Spot’ (arm length) and ‘Nose Bender’ – make it easy to find a comfortable fit. (Pit Viper recommend running the Turbo adjustment one down from maximum so that you can always turn it up – a great mantra to live by!) They also vent well, and it takes a serious amount of huffing and puffing to get them to steam up for a prolonged period of time. The Pit Viper logo does enter your peripheral vision at times, but you soon get used to it. The price isn’t bad too.

Price $89

However, on many of these bikes a suspension fork from one of the major manufacturers is too expensive, and the cheaper alternatives don't quite pull their weight. They tend to be poorly sealed and before long become almost rigid, hefty lumps of metal attached to your frame.

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.

Kona Precept

Climbing aboard Kona’s entry level 120mm trail bike looks a promising proposition. With 760mm wide bars and fairly short (60mm) stem, there’s a promise of confident handling, and comfortable feel. The Shimano Deore chainset and derailleurs afforded solid shifting performance, and the fast-rolling Maxxis Ardent tyres allow for swift traversing.
