ION Scrub Amp jersey


The ‘drirelease’ fabric used on the front of this ION tech tee wicks well and dries quickly, and doesn’t have too much of a slippery, synthetic feel to it. It seems robust yet rides light. Extra features include a small zipped side pocket (best used for a single house or car key, emergency tenner or lift pass, but nice to have) and a lens wipe on the opposite side. The cut is casual but the Scrub Amp jersey doesn’t shift around when you’re on the bike and there’s plenty of freedom of movement in the shoulders. It’s not the cheapest tech tee but it fits well, the detail is well-observed and it feels like it’s built to last. The ‘Sanitized’ antibacterial treatment keeps pongs at bay too. If yellow and brown aren’t your thing, there are three other colour options.

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.

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.
