E13 TRSr wheelset review
The E13 TRSr wheelset is really well put together with quality bearings and proper sealing. Great value for a carbon wheelset of this quality.
Vitus Escarpe 29 VR review
Having endured all four of the UK’s seasons as one our fleet of long termer test bikes, how has the keenly priced Vitus Escarpe 29 VR held up?
The new Norco Range Carbon 160mm enduro bike
The new Norco Range Carbon is longer, lower and slacker (no surprise there) and has had its A.R.T. suspension tweaked to offer more progression.
Shimano Deore M6000 brings XTR innovations to the masses
The new Shimano Deore M6000 is still 10 speed but it benefits from several features previously only found on XTR and XT components.
Cube Stereo 160 C:62 SL 27.5 (2017) review

Ragley Stubbing stem review
The Ragley Stubbing stem comes in a multitude of colours, all with a two-tone finish. The smaller size doesn’t result in a below average weight.
Hope AM Freeride stem review
Machined out of a solid billet of 2014 T6-series aluminium, the Hope AM Freeride stem is exactly what you’d expect from the Lancashire component giant.
Gamut Cillos stem review
Gamut is better known for chain devices, but this minimal, matt-anodised Gamut Cillos stem shows another side to the US manufacturer.

Made in the UK from 6061 T6-series aluminium, the Burgtec Enduro MK2 short stem is second-generation trail and all-mountain stem for both bar sizes.
Race Face Aeffect 35 stem review
The Race Face Aeffect 35 is a no-nonsense, forged and CNC finished 6061 aluminium stem at a bargain price. Winner of Best value in our stem group test.
KS Ether stem review
KS has now added bars stems to its line-up. Designed for enduro, the KS Ether stem is light and strong enough for everything from XC to DH.
Gravity Grid stem review
There’s nothing to complain about here. The Gravity Grid stem’s price is fair, the finish is good and performance is right up there.
Chromag BZA 35mm stem review
The Chromag BZA is perfectly in keeping with aggressive riding ethic. It works great, but doesn’t provide anything over a stem that’s half the money.
Azonic Rock Fat 35 stem review
The design of the Azonic Rock proved stiff enough and the unusual 45mm reach may be useful. Solidity and steering response is good too.
Truvativ Descendant stem review
Not the lightest, but the Truvativ Descendant is still perfectly acceptable for trail riding and XC. The price is excellent considering the quality.
Syntace Megaforce 2 stem review
The Megaforce 2 is mega expensive, but comes with a 10-year guarantee and, if money were no object, would be our first choice. Syntace really has ticked all the boxes.
