Race Face Trigger Inversion jersey


Race Face have nailed the ‘tee that makes you want to ride’ with a great colour choice and graphics. The hand-knit fabric has a cottonlike feel and does its work on the bike without making you feel like you’re wearing a ‘performance’ top if you pair it with jeans for a post-ride trip to the pub. A good cut and plenty of stretch in the material ensure you can move around on the bike freely. Our only wish would be for a tad more refinement in the construction. The long back-of-neck label can irritate, so we’d snip it out right away, and the seams are somewhat chunky. That isn’t a problem for casual riding – which, to be fair, is what this top is best suited to – but isn’t ideal if you’re going to be wearing a pack for any length of time.

Price $64

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.
