Madison Roam jersey


Sometimes what you want is a technical wicking jersey that doesn’t look like one once you’ve pedalled to your destination. Or maybe you just prefer the nononsense simplicity of T-shirt style designs. Enter the Madison Roam, which, with its small chest pocket and casual stripe design, looks like an everyday top. Just don’t put anything in that pocket – it’ll only take a folded fiver, and we can’t guarantee it’ll stay there until the beer needs paying for. The fabric is light and stretchy, and a more open knit is used under the arms for faster cooling. When you’re riding you barely know you’re wearing it, which is always a good sign. In short, it’s all that a technical riding T-shirt should be and you’ll probably find yourself wearing it for more than just biking.

Price $57

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.

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.
