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.

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.

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.

Canyon Spectral AL 6.0

Round two, and the 6.0 leaps out of the blocks. From the moment we're off the smaller wheeled Spectral wants to go flat out. Standing on the pedals on the small steep climbs is slightly more reactive, surging the Spectral forward that little more eagerly. We need more body language to get the wheels over the roots, but again the 2.4in Mountain King's tread impresses.
