Scott Trail MTN Dryo 20 jacket


Scott consistently offer good waterproof jackets with the sort of bike-specific details that make a difference. All of the Dryo 20’s features are well executed. The chest pockets are generously deep and one has an additional zipped inner pocket. Vents are extra-long and work so much better for it. The hood fits over a helmet easily and, with a stretch inner plus drawcord for tweaking the volume, it’s barely noticeable when in place and causes no loss of peripheral vision. Scott’s ‘DRYOsphere’ three-layer fabric is smooth with a durable feel and, combined with a relatively relaxed cut, allows for easy layering up. In terms of durability and functionality, if your budget allows it, the Dryo 20 should be a contender – it’s a highly-specified jacket with very good protection for long days out.

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

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.

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.
