PRO Koryak dropper post


The Koryak, from Shimano’s finishing kit brand PRO, is reliable and relatively light, with useful remote options. But you can buy basically the same post in more variations, with a more secure saddle clamp, a fair bit cheaper. While there are collar and cosmetic differences, it’s basically the same as the Brand-X and Syncros posts, but with a single-bolt clamp on top. This is more awkward to finely adjust than the twin-bolt set-ups on its sibling posts and needs firm tightening to stop it tipping if you G-out on it. On the plus side, you can choose from a shifter-style remote (here) or a universal vertical lever, and while they both rattle a bit from new, they don’t get appreciably worse. The return speed is steady rather than speedy but there’s a distinct top-out clunk to tell you the post is extended and it doesn’t slow down obviously at low temperatures. It’ll stop anywhere in its stroke too, although the 120mm extension won’t be enough for a lot of riders/frames.

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

Nukeproof Vector AM Comp Cro-Mo saddle

The Vector AM is pretty race focused, with minimal padding. There’s a deep (if narrow) pressurerelief channel to keep the blood flowing where it’s meant to. Used with bib shorts, we found it pretty comfortable for shorter rides and suffered no pain or discomfort in the central region. On steep climbs the slightly downturned nose provides a reasonable forward perch, while the svelte profile and smooth edges make it particularly unobtrusive when moving about on the descents. It’s quite stiff though, and can feel harsh on long rides or bumpy ground. We definitely wouldn’t want to spend much time on it without a chamois. It’s heavier than we’d expect for such a lightly padded perch too. There’s a lighter Pro version with titanium rails for $105, but at 241g it’s only 10g lighter. Weight 251g Price $67

GT Zaskar Evolution

While some bike models last just a couple of years, others change with the times to stay at the top of riders’ wishlists. In the second part of this series looking at the evolution of bikes that enjoy enduring popularity with UK riders, we turn to the GT Zaskar – a bike that was at the forefront of our sport for a long time and still has plenty of appeal today.

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.

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.
