Morvelo Angled jersey


Morvelo are known for their eye-catching designs, and if pink and blue stripes aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other killer options in their line-up. Not that it’s all about the visuals – riding in the Angled, it’s clear that the devil is very much in the detail. Mesh side panels give increased ventilation and the high stretch content of the fabric means the slim-ish fit is always comfortable. That’s also helped by a panelled construction through the body, which gives better shape. If this were carried through to the sleeves, the jersey would be close to perfect. The small details are also impressive, including flatlock seams and a high-quality finish. If you came for the casual good looks, you’ll stay for the technical detail and riding comfort.

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.
