Spy Optics Klutch goggles with Happy Lens


Spy’s ‘Happy Lens’ technology is designed to enhance contrast and make colours more vivid by letting in more long-wave blue light. They reckon this also promotes serotonin release, making you feel happier. We can’t say we noticed any improvement in our mood, but the lens definitely helps to give trail obstacles better definition, apart from in dark woods, where we found the silver mirror tint a hindrance. Thankfully, a clear lens is included for these situations. With its deep dual-density foam and sweat-absorbing fleece, the Klutch frame is super-comfy on your face. It’s quite narrow, so the field of vision isn’t the widest, but once you get riding you soon forget about this. Full-face helmet compatibility is pretty good but, with no outriggers holding the strap, these goggles don’t sit on the face quite as well as some. The lack of outriggers does mean they look better with open-face helmets than some other options, although the fairly chunky frame can clash a bit with deep-fitting enduro lids. We love the orange frame and ‘Realtree’ strap combo, and Spy have loads more cool designs in their catalogue too. The Klutch goggles aren’t cheap though.

HIGHS
- Awesome looks and loads of colours
- Silver lens adds contrast for sunny days and a clear lens is included too

LOWS
- Chunky frame obstructs vision slightly
- We’d expect strap outriggers at this price

Rad-looking goggles, but the chunky frame reduces the field of vision and can limit helmet compatibility

Price $112

Merida Big Nine 100

Wit the bikes swapped over, we head out on the same loop again, this time on the 29in Big Nine 100. Whereas the Big Seven was snappy off the line, the 29er takes a couple more pedal strokes to get up to speed. That said, once it's up there, it's easy to keep the big wheels rolling, allowing us to cover ground with ease. The fire road is at times a little rough, and the bigger wheels roll over the imperfections so we barely notice them.

Chromag HiFi 35 (50mm) stem

This is a seriously solid stem. Chromag use 5mm Allen bolts throughout, which makes it that bit easier to fit because you don’t have to swap tools. Once torqued up to the recommended 6-8Nm, it clamps both steerer and bar solidly, with no appreciable flex. We couldn’t get it to twist on the steerer, either in our static test or when riding. It’s also available in a 35mm length and three other colours. At 204g the HiFi is the heaviest stem on test by some margin, despite being one of the more expensive offerings here. Price $112

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.

Canyon Strive AL 5.0 Race

Canyon share the same direct sales model as Radon, YT and Commencal, which means the Strive also comes with a stunningly good spec for the money. On top of that, it’s one of the quietest bikes here. Even on the choppiest Italian trail we rode, the Strive pattered down without a peep. It needs some volume bands in the shock to get the back end ramping up for the really big hits, but once sorted it’s a wonderfully efficient machine that carries speed incredibly well. The sizing feels spot on too, and it’s always nice to see manufacturers speccing longer dropper posts where possible. Our large Strive had one of the shortest seat tubes here, at 460mm, and used a 150mm drop Reverb. This meant none of our testers had any issues with arse-tosaddle clearance on the steeper trails we rode (unlike on the Commencal, with its 490mm seat tube). What we did notice when the trail began to drop away rapidly was the head angle. On our test bike it measured in at just under 67 degrees, making it ...
