The Sonder Broken Road is built for adventure, so where better to test it than on a 10-day expedition in the Himalayas? Great geometry and pricing.

Merida eOne-Twenty 900E (2017) review
The Merida eOne-Twenty provides a thrilling and intoxicatingly addictive ride. Great geometry, rapid and flickable. One of the lightest e-mtbs available.
Specialized Demo 8.1 Alloy (2017) first ride
Great geometry and progressive sizing give the Specialized Demo 8 Alloy an edge. Everything about the Demo’s parts package is pretty much bombproof.
Cannondale Habit 5 (2017) review
The Cannondale Habit 5 has totally nailed the fit and sizing and the tighter suspension response makes it feel fast, efficient and fun to ride.
Giant Trance 3 (2017) review
Get the front end dialled and the Giant Trance 3 is instantly transformed into a weapon. The suspension response is super stable, it’s not lost any sensitivity.
Trek Fuel EX 5 27.5 Plus (2017) review
The Trek Fuel EX Plus 5 eats up boulders and roots on the descents. On dry or rocky trails it would be our go-to bike.
Genesis Tarn 20 (2017) first ride
Expanding its range, sorting its sizing and making the best of Plus-size tyres — Genesis Tarn 20 is another trail-ripping hardtail from Genesis.

Rocky Mountain Slayer 770 MSL (2017) first ride
The latest Rocky Mountain Slayer eats trails for tea and cleanses its palate with boulders and rubble.
Stif Morf XT first ride
Long, low and slack, and with a frame that apes the ride of a full-susser, the Stif Morf XT is a blast to ride.
NS Snabb E Carbon first ride
The NS Snabb Carbon E is a lightweight all-mountain offering that is only a tweak or two away from perfection.
Giant Trance Advanced 0 (2017) first ride
Giant reworks its classic 140mm-travel trail bike to make it even more capable.
Intense Recluse Factory review
Named after a venomous North American spider, the Intense Recluse is a 140mm travel trail bike rolling on, what we now consider, ‘traditional’ 27.5in wheels.
