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.

RockShox Pike 26

Waaaay back in 2002, RockShox revolutionized the suspension world with the release of its Psylo range of forks. The forks came with 30mm stanchions, a lockout/compression adjustment, the travel was adjustable from 80-120mm, and......wait for it, they came with a quick release 20mm through axle.

Sam Reynolds' Polygon Collosus N9

WHO IS SAM REYNOLDS? Hailing from South East England, Sam Reynolds is one of the UK's top freeriders, specialising in dirt jumping and slopestyle. But with mates like World Cup downhiller Brendan Fairclough, he also likes to get up to speed in the hills, where he's been introducing the Collosus to some colossal jumps, gaps and drops.

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.

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.
