Troy Lee Designs Skyline jersey


Troy Lee’s Skyline is one of those jerseys that you pull on and it feels instantly good. The slouchy fit isn’t baggy on the bike and there’s no weight or drag to it. For those who are interested in material provenance, the fabric is Bluesign certified. It’s lightweight and keeps you cool, and the open-mesh back panel allows heat to escape even faster. Taller riders will appreciate the extra-long body and sleeves – sleeves that also stay in place when pushed up (yes, it’s a small detail, but very annoying when it doesn’t work). There’s also a side pocket with lens wipe. The finish quality isn’t as high as on some jerseys here, suggesting that you’re paying a bit of a premium because TLD is a fashionable brand, but that doesn’t stop us from wanting to wear the Skyline very much.

Price $90

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. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

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.
