Mavic Deemax Pro Ltd Sam Hill jersey


Part of a limited-edition collection designed with Aussie enduro and DH superstar Sam Hill, the Deemax Pro Ltd looks immediately different, with its squared-off neckline and distinctive fabric. It feels good too – the material is almost cotton-like and, although light to wear, has a more robust feel than most at this weight. While the cut of the body is fine – relaxed but not oversized – the sleeves are very narrow over the forearms. This makes them feel like they want to pull up, so we found it more comfortable to ride with them pushed up than worn down. There’s a short-sleeve version of this top that would avoid the problem. The combination of fabric quality and racing provenance does also mean that, when it comes to cost, this is a jersey that sits firmly in the ‘splurge’ category.

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.
