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

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed.

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.

Scott Scale 950

The Scale 950 uses the now traditional-for-cross-country 29er wheels to excellent effect, with a fast but fun character that's happy racing or railing.

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.

CUBE REACTION GTC PRO 27.5

Cube have kept their strong 29er race hardtail range for 2014 but added four new bikes with 650b wheels. The Reaction GTC Pro 27.5 is the second-tier carbon model.
