Merida Big Trail 800 first ride
The Merida Big Trail stays true to the hardcore hardtail philosophy. Super comfortable riding position – helped by a tiny 35mm stem and 760mm handlebar.
ION Rascal shoe review
Having only one clipless shoe model in the range has meant the pressure has been on for ION to produce a shoe that stands up to the requirements of clipless…
Race Face Ride stem review
The Race Face Ride stem is one of those components that makes you question whether you need to spend mega bucks on parts. Coming in a shade under £25, it…
Race Face Next SL G4 carbon cranks review
In terms of power to weight the Race Face Next SL G4 really is a superb – it’s also silly light, sensibly stiff and cheaper than other carbon cranks.
B’Twin 900 track pump review
As pumps go, the B’Twin 900 track pump is a simple beast. It doesn’t have a plethora of features enabling it to seat tubeless tyres, setup suspension or inflate a…
Mavic Crossmax Elite 29er wheelset review
Now well into its third decade of development, Mavic Crossmax should be a name familiar to most riders. The latest Crossmax range consists of three models, all of which are…
Truvativ Descendant Carbon cranks review
The Truvativ Descendant Carbon is a great first step on the carbon crank ladder; factor in £80 worth of chainring and, it’s actually more of a bargain.
Praxis Works Lyft carbon cranks review
Praxis has done an excellent job on the Praxis Works Lyft crank, it’s stiff, lightweight, top quality and it should stay that way too.
Fassa Separator review
The Fassa Separator does what it says on the tin. It fits between bikes to stop them being scratched when they’re being transported.
Mavic XA Pro Carbon wheels review
It’s taken a while but Mavic has finally come up with a carbon wheelset for trail riding. Called the Mavic XA Pro Carbon.

DMR V8 v2 pedal review
Enter the 'new' DMR V8 V2. DMR claim this new pedal is more refined, more streamlined and more user friendly than the original V8.
Race Face Ride Flat handlebar review
The Race Face Ride Flat bar is a classy looking bar. It weighs 228g, which some weight weenies baulk at but it costs less than thirty quid!
Specialized Enduro Comp 650 (2017) longterm verdict
Our longterm test verdict on the Specialized Enduro Comp 650b; Specialized's enduro machine sucks up big hits without compromising sensitivity.
Giro Chamber shoe review
The Giro Chamber is a shoe designed around DH racing and the demands of riding the hardest courses. In fact, Aaron Gwin had a hand in creating them.
FUNN Mamba pedal review
If the old adage 'bigger is better' is true then the Funn Mamba pedal should be snaking the competition and bringing home the gold.
Orbea Oiz M20 29 (2017) review
The Orbea Oiz M20 is a ruthlessly fast and efficient race winning machine. It rewards hard efforts with an almost insatiable appetite for speed.
YT Industries Jeffsy CF Pro Race 27 (2017) review
The Jeffsy CF Pro Race 27 takes the stock 27 platform and pumps the travel up to 160mm. It’s something of a lone wolf within the Jeffsy 27 range.
