- [VIDEO: 'RAIL TO TRAIL SLOVAKIA"](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/03/video-rail-to-trail-slovakia/) - Exploring Europe’s hidden MTB gem – from Bratislava to Martin by train and bike. Thinking of a mountain bike trip? Finale or Canada probably come to mind. But what about Slovakia? That’s exactly what we – Paul Feser, Paul Köhler, and I (Kasi Schmidt) – in search of the best trails and great locals. Highlight of the trip? Definitely our accidental detour into the middle of nowhere. Wrong station, no platform, just rails and a grumpy station master – but hey, epic trails as a reward! Breathtaking scenery, killer trails, and super chill locals – all easily accessible by train. Slovakian rail? Punctual, bike-friendly (just don’t forget to reserve your spot!) and perfect for a rail-to-trail adventure. My SCOR 4060 was the ultimate companion: technical trails in Martin, smooth runs in Bratislava, and big air in Kalnica – this bike eats it all for breakfast. I briefly considered bringing the...

The S.200 has already demonstrated its strength, speed and stability at Red Bull Hardline, Tasmania but it's just as at home on the jumps and berms of the Bike Park where it feels poppy but super forgiving. Gee said “I was absolutely blown away by how the S.200 handled the Red Bull Hardline course and the confidence it gave me. Knowing how strong the bike is meant I could be really brave on it. It felt like a really good all-round bike and that showed up in its ability to be within a couple of % of the winning pace; but it's...

With the ever-changing bike industry and my own shifting focus, it’s become clear that now is the time to step away and pursue other creative mediums. I want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who rode, filmed, helped out, or supported this project in any way—your efforts and energy meant the world. While this chapter is closing earlier than expected, don’t worry—there will definitely be more film work in the future. I just don’t know when, but when the time is right, I’ll be back behind the camera. - Liam Brierly

The story behind it is pretty funny. Timo, just some random guy, messaged me on Instagram and asked if I was up for an edit. I never expected it to turn out like this. I hope you enjoy the combination of the scenic trail atmosphere and some big air action. I’ve always valued choosing the right line while keeping it loose and steezy. Big jumps have always been fun for me – and I think you can tell. Rider: Moritz Wirth VC: Timo Glaesel

- [Video: The UNION - Stepping Stones](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/02/video-the-union-stepping-stones/) - The Union was a team who's every piece summed what DH racing is meant to be. Raw, brash, youthful and talented with just enough handling to keep everyone in line while keeping the fun alive and the energy high. You could call it a development team, but that undersells what the team was able to achieve. This chemistry crafted between the team's managers and athletes produced a superset of athletes who every single week punched outside their weight class. Through various incarnations, the team was a revolving door. A kind of incubation chamber where it's youthful racers would reach their highest strengths and ready themselves to become the world's best, maintaining that fine balance of total dedication and a pure love for cycling. At its end, the team has disbanded, seeing all athletes move on to new homes for the 2025 season. The mark left won't be soon forgotten and...

Marcin "Banan" Matuszny](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/02/video-lost-in-loam-feat-marcin-banan-matuszny-2/) - After the race season wrapped up and event planning was behind us, we found a moment to breathe and decided to shoot a new video project - LOST IN LOAM. Last year, we discovered an amazing spot in Podkarpacie (Poland). Far from everything, it offers great trails covered in fresh loam, a fun jumpline, and a unique vibe. The peaceful forest, mostly coniferous, provides the perfect terrain, full of new lines at every glance. We knew it was the perfect place for a new project, merging our visions and encouraging us to pause and reflect on what truly brings us joy. The result of this collaboration is our new film, LOST IN LOAM. Enjoy!

- [Video: "Repeater Raw" feat Skye Schillhammer](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/02/video-repeater-raw-feat-skye-schillhammer/) - The days when perfect dirt and plenty of time don't always line up, but when they do, we take advantage of it. TR employee John Richardson gets out on a classic PNW day to rip his favorite raw trails in this new video. On days like this, the e-bike acts as our chairlift, allowing us to access our favorite trails lap after lap. On the Repeater PT, the rowdier, the better, and those trails often don't have access to a shuttle. Keep your eyes peeled and weather apps loaded as the Spring comes in season to get out with your friends for a big old party in the woods!

No gimmicks, just pure unfiltered trail riding and signature style from the boys. Watch this duo throw down, have a pure blast together on the trails and prove that e-bikes ain't just for cruising! This is the first time Kaos and Darragh (now Orbea FMD Racing - The Gravity Cooperative teammates) have ridden together and the chemistry is already firing - you can’t deny that WILD Days makes you want to head out with the homies and ride your bike!
- [Video: 'The Nomad' feat The Flannel Crew](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/02/video-the-nomad-feat-the-flannel-crew/) - The Flannel Crew's first feature film, The Nomad presented by Knolly Bikes follows the journey of 8 riders proving you don't have to be the best to just love it. Produced by Austen Tanney, the film explores personal progression and the refusal to conform to the industry benchmarks of race results, hashtags and followers to gauge success. The mountain bike industry has been in a rut, we scroll the same Instagram and Tik Tok reels of regurgitated sounds, double tapping the same hashtags and following the same exhausting trends. It was time to bring back the vibes of personal progression that our forefathers used to create this sport. We quickly learned that there was something immensely special about capturing your best friends pushing their limits and sharing in those golden moments of progression and success. There was a time when you rode new features for yourself, and the thought of...
- [Video: 'Park Rat' feat George Ryan](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/02/video-park-rat-feat-george-ryan/) - As the trail builder for Mountain Creek Bike Park in New Jersey, George Ryan spends a fair amount riding park. When building and maintaining the trails 40+ hours a week, then riding those trails after work, you tend to see some lines that others might miss. Taking inspiration from street bmx and skateboarding, George looks at the trails and features a bit differently than the casual weekend warrior. George’s history of riding street and skatepark shines through as he uses berms and trees as quarterpipes and wallrides, finds big transfer lines, and hucks monster gaps on his Evil Insurgent park bike.

As I share this process on Instagram and YouTube, more people are getting invested, and I think it’s only fair to explain why I’m doing this. The goal: Build a durable bike that lasts forever—one that isn’t locked into overly specialized, single-purpose designs. This bike is about giving freedom to the rider, not the brand. 'Pivot' is the winner of the 2025 ActionTV Youth Film Festival! Huge thanks to everyone supporting this project! - Carter Bilawchuk

- [NEW DH BIKE LAUNCH: Atherton S.200 Walkthrough](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/02/new-dh-bike-launch-atherton-s-200-walkthrough/) - Freshly landed from his impressive Finals run at Red Bull Hardline Tasmania, Gee Atherton shows off the brand-new aluminium DH bike, the S.200. S.200 is the Aluminium DH bike you’ve always wanted. Awesome at the races, but just as at home in the Bike Park or on the gnarliest of natural DH trails. S.200 shares the same lug and tube construction as the A.200 but in durable Aluminium 7075 (patent pending). Dave Weagle’s DW4 suspension platform brings high performance with low maintenance to match the S-series “chuck it in the van and go” vibe. Lug and tube construction means that we can continue to offer a huge range of sizing, bringing to bear 20 years of elite race team experience on how perfect-fit improves performance and rider confidence. We offer 12 standard sizes from 410mm to 520mm – with just 10mm increments between every size. The S.200 has a mixed...

Leaving no trail unstirred, they drained multiple batteries exploring the views, abandoned mines, and never-ending trails that the Owen's Valley offers. From one place to the next, the Turbo Levo keeps the mind open to all possibilities. Where to go, what's possible, what mountains one can climb and which trail to shred.

That vision comes to life with the perfect blend of elements—creative line choices, the right conditions, and the people around you helping make it happen. Watch Marcel Hunt bring his own special mix of DJ, slope, and skate-inspired riding to the lush PNW forests aboard his Dreadnought. Hours of planning, hiking, and filming come together in a saucy little edit we hope will inspire you to get into the forest and on your bike. (Sorry, not sorry for getting you stoked while it’s still winter in the northern hemisphere.) “...I wanted to blend dirt jumps, skatepark vibes, slopestyle, and loam into one sick, flowy line. It wasn’t all about sending crazy tricks on separate features but more about keeping the flow and making it feel smooth from start to finish. We got lucky with three days of solid conditions to film...

- [Video: "Desert Flower" ft. Daniel Gibson](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/02/video-desert-flower-ft-daniel-gibson/) - How do you portray struggle and pain in a beautiful, vibrant image? There was a point in Daniel Gibson’s life when he stopped making work that was angry. While discussions about political issues often use imagery that has a fist in the air or chainlink fences breaking, Daniel’s work is different. Born in Yuma, AZ and growing up in El Centro, CA with parents who immigrated from Mexico, Daniel Gibson’s early years were spent wrestling with harsh realities of migration to America. His art brings to life the surreal narratives and questions that captivated him as a child. Help Daniel save lives: See more of Daniel’s art: Since filming, Los Angeles County has been devastated by multiple fires. Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated, some have died, and thousands of structures have been completely destroyed. Our hearts and help go out to those who have been impacted. Please,...

Teaming up with BikeBot, we aimed to capture Darcy’s raw energy, combining cinematic lighting with his signature style and a dash of lifestyle flair to create a unique and dynamic vibe. Darcy was keen to blow up some berms, so he jumped in the digger, built a loose one, and went to town. With only enough lighting to keep the berm lit, Darcy dropped in from way up the hill, aiming straight into the pool of light and smoke. His watch torch even came in handy to light the way up. The first day of shooting was a total write-off due to rain, so we blacked out the entire living room of our accommodation to do some lifestyle shots, pumped smoke, and got creative with lighting....

At least it's usually wet. Whether you want to get out there for a power-hour on your XC bike, some classic North Shore winch-and-plummet replete with Roman Roads and split cedar bridgework, or turn the speed up with some shuttle-assisted downhill action, it's available here on the North Shore. And while 20-years-younger me wouldn't have cared about the variety, I've become less myopic with my riding. I've simultaneously become more fussy with my footwear, attempting to ensure I've got appropriate footwear for the riding at hand. Look closely, and you'll see three different pairs of shoes in action (each in use on the three different bikes...

Over time the Monk has earned a reputation as one of the most respected, premium dirt jumpers out there. It’s been proven by some incredible riders and many athletes who ride for other bike brands have purchased Monks as their dirt jumper of choice. Throughout a development feedback loop, the need for a competition-based Dirt Jumper was therefore realized. Some of Chromag's riders were looking for a stiff, reactive frame that would respond to technical moves as fast as possible. Enter: The Signature. Riders: Marcel Hunt & Ayden Sieb.

Eighteen years, to be precise. Warner, long retired from competition, had gotten his hands on the new Glory Advanced and decided it was time to revisit two places in Austria that loom large in his storied career: Kaprun, where he scored his first World Cup win in 1996; and Schladming, where his career came to an end a decade later. In this version of events, Warner returned to Kaprun in search of Warnerstrasse, and to revisit the finish line where he celebrated his greatest athletic achievement. And in this version of events, he then went over to Schladming, where in 2006 he had a massive crash that effectively ended his pro career, so that he could confront some demons by putting the new Glory to the test. This is Rob Warner's Return...

There is no denying that many riders share a love of fast cars and bikes, but is it really a practical pairing? We decided to set the record straight and find out once and for all if supercars are actually suited to the lifestyle of a mountain biker.

Their love of super cars and passion for bikes have made them the perfect fit for invisiFRAME and XPEL’s mission to #protecteverything, but can you really use a super car as an everyday mountain biker? ‘The (Im)practical...

- [NEW OneUp Components Clip Pedals](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/01/new-oneup-components-clip-pedals/) - Your New Favourite Clip Pedals Light enough for cross country and durable enough for downhill.

With his love of bikes now extending outside of MTB, he has recently taken up Gravel riding which offers him the ability to explore more of the countryside that surrounds him and cover more distance, of course with a Lando twist.

Back behind the handlebars of the new T.E.M.P.O. POWER, Frix lets his creative style speak for itself. Whether riding a flowy or technical trail, uphill or downhill, the Virtual Contact System kinematics and perfectly balanced 19.9kg frame make the T.E.M.P.O. POWER our most versatile, dynamic, and playful e-bike yet! And Frix would not disagree. Downhill, it is clearly one of the best bikes I've ever ridden. The weight of the T.E.M.P.O POWER is ideal. Compared to the T.E.M.P.O, it's the one that provides additional grip and stability on the descents. The frame is just as dynamic as the version without the engine, and it is even more comfortable. - Hugo Frixtalon Rider: Hugo Frixtalon Film: Leon Perrin & Gaetan Clary Edit: Leon Perrin Music & Sound Edit: Keith White Drone: Franky Moiss & Leon Perrin

Off the back of a dominant season, the YT MOB welcomes one of the fastest names in Downhill to its ranks – Andreas Kolb. With two European Downhill Championships and a World Cup to his name, Andi joins the MOB alongside Vali Höll, Oisin O’Callaghan, and Kasper Woolley. With Kolb, the MOB takes a step closer to its vision of becoming one of the top teams on the circuit. While the squad has shared individual success, these changes place them in a position to climb higher and top the team rankings, something the MOB hasn't yet achieved. The move to the MOB was a no-brainer! The team already feels like family, and I'm completely aligned with the bike and brand. I’m already excited for what we can achieve together, but winning a second World Cup with the new team would be a dream for...

- [OneUp Squamish Downhill Race Highlights](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2025/01/oneup-squamish-downhill-race-highlights/) - Squamish is home to some of the world's best downhill racers. But there are no downhill races here. As fans of DH racing and riding at every level, we decided to put on a little race to round out the season and raise money for our local mountain bike association. OneUp Components and the Squamish Off Road Cycling Association are proud to have put on a DH race to support the insanely high level of riding in this community. The SORCA team and trail crew were instrumental in helping us bring a proper DH event to Squamish. It was a big effort, with over 80 volunteers supporting the event on race day and OneUp staff logging over 500 hours on the tools preparing the track. Massive thank you to SORCA and everyone who helped make this race possible. See you next year!

And let me tell you, it was a full-on team effort! We had paid community workers, amazing volunteers, and some of the best athletes in the game pitching in to make it happen.

- [Rocky Mountain Files to Restructure in Attempt to Avoid Bankruptcy](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/12/rocky-mountain-files-to-restructure-in-attempt-to-avoid-bankruptcy/) - Rocky Mountain is restructuring its finances to avoid bankruptcy, ensuring operations continue smoothly. Filing under Canada’s Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) provides legal protection to help the brand stay on track. Despite booming sales during the pandemic, supply chain issues and rising costs hurt the company. Post-pandemic, falling bike prices further squeezed margins, pushing them to act for long-term stability. Founded in Vancouver in 1991, Rocky Mountain became part of Quebec-based Procycle in 1997 and rebranded fully in 2018. Leadership changes have marked recent years, with Raymond Dutil resuming as CEO in 2023 after Katy Bond's departure. The company also expanded by acquiring German distributor BikeAction, strengthening its presence in Europe. Rocky Mountain website

After a few trips to out that way to play with RC trucks, this was the first time he got to see and ride the trails he’d previously only seen online. He teamed up with Dylan Siggers to get a proper taste. Let's just say... the trip and the trails did not disappoint.

Last year, we discovered an amazing spot in Podkarpacie (Poland). Far from everything, it offers great trails covered in fresh loam, a fun jumpline, and a unique vibe. The peaceful forest, mostly coniferous, provides the perfect terrain, full of new lines at every glance. We knew it was the perfect place for a new project, merging our visions and encouraging us to pause and reflect on what truly brings us joy. The result of this collaboration is our new film, LOST IN LOAM.

Wende's seminal piece, I Learned to Fly... on a Mountain Bike, delighted tens of thousands of readers when we published it almost exactly two years ago. In it, she details her involvement in Marin County's early mountain bike scene, where riders evolved the sport from using found objects to purpose-built machines right before her eyes—and camera lens. She poetically describes how her love for cycling and the mountain bike led her to document the early pioneers of the sport she happened to be riding with. The resulting collection, the Rolling Dinosaur Archive, is a treasure trove of history and some of the only photographic evidence from this pivotal time in cycling.

In December of 2023 it was decided that we would step away from Shredo Files to tell a new story. One without rules, a script or a playbook. Natural State is that story.

- [Video: 'Still Scared' feat Sophie Perrault](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/12/video-still-scared-feat-sophie-perrault/) - Fear is a universal feeling, especially in mountain biking. Whether it’s the gap you’ve been eyeing for weeks, a new trick, or just riding a trail faster than before, that mix of nerves and excitement is what makes this sport so addictive for most. Sophie reminds us that you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy pushing your limits. Sophie’s not a sponsored rider or an influencer—she’s a full-time nurse who rides on her days off. For her, mountain biking is about personal progress and the joy that comes from pushing her limits. Every nervous laugh, wobble, failed attempt, and small victory adds up to something greater: fun on two wheels. Next time you’re out riding, channel your inner Sophie. Get out there, try something new, and yes—stay scared, if that’s your thing. #forbiddenbike #highpivotwitchcraft #ridedifferent Rider: Sophie Perrault Video: Dylan Siggers Song: untitled 07 2014 - 2016 by...

We’ve been building and filming for this one since April 2023, wrapping it all up just last month. Pulling these projects together is always a mission, but I’ve really come to enjoy the process. The idea behind Lost Paradise has always been to document freeride mountain biking in a way that inspires people to ride, dig trails, and have fun. This year, I wanted to pay tribute to the big North Shore freeride style that first got me hooked. Building those features wasn’t easy, but they rode like a dream! I couldn’t have done it without my amazing friends who helped along the way. Their support and passion for the sport keep me going. They know who they are, and I’m so grateful for all of them.

It's funny how life can deliver timely reminders. As I was returning from a broken ankle that happened right as summer was kicking off, Mother Nature gave us a run for our money with what people call an atmospheric river. It wasn't easy, but with all the trials and tribulations it made the juice that bit sweeter. When people think of Squamish, they think of its lush green forests and pristine loam. I know that's what drew me in. We have endless forests with such varying terrain, whether steep slabs and granite is your thing or endless corridors of perfect trail, we've got it all. I'm so lucky to call this place and its trails home, and in this video, I wanted to showcase just why it's so special...

Brook and Stevie formed a tight bond over the years of riding and racing together. “The time I got to spend with Stevie was cherished a lot, as I feel we were on a very similar path and did a lot of the same things growing up.

- [MUST WATCH: 'Illuminance' | The Endless Chase For Light](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/11/must-watch-illuminance-the-endless-chase-for-light/) - As a photographer, I am constantly looking for unique light. As a bike rider, I am constantly looking for the best trails to ride. Thankfully, the epic landscape of Southern Utah provides both of those for me. The steep ridgelines of the Utah desert create dramatic, high-contrast, scenes as the sun rises and sets. These scenes are so inspiring to me, and the best part is, my favorite trails ride right through them. 'illuminance' is a short film in which I express my view of light, through my bike riding and my cinematography, I hope you enjoy. - Peter Jamison Filmed and edited by: Peter Jamison Music by: 'Solstice' & '3DB' by Richy Mitch and the
- [Video: 'Taj in The Woods' feat Taj Mihelich](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/11/video-taj-in-the-woods-feat/) - Mountain biking is so much more than vertigo inducing GoPro footage, life threatening speed and laser guided seat posts. I love that my bike carries me away from the noise of the world and out into the peace of the woods. I always feel a bit uncomfortable when I realize I work in marketing (I blame formative years listening to Bill Hicks) so I have done my best to be sincere in what I do. This is how I really feel on most every ride. I hope this inspires you to get out into the trees and take some deep breathes. - Taj Mihelich

And with a sprinkling of scenic Osttirol in the mix—because this is mountain biking, after all—the locations were locked in. Adding some serious lifting power to his usual film crew, Gabriel teamed up with the legends at Cut Media for this project.

- [Riding Placitas NM and Saving Tarantulas with Chris Boice](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/11/riding-placitas-nm-and-saving-tarantulas-with-chris-boice/) - Need a custom van? Chris Boice is your man- Sometimes you bring a gun to a knife fight. Placitas is more suited to little bikes but I will say that my new Yeti SB160 with Flight Attendant did really well for a big bike, making itself efficient when I was hammering on the pedals, while remaining active in the chunky bits. This place would be a blast on my Yeti SB120, so I'll have to throw that in the van for the next visit. New trail day is only rivaled by new spider day. You would think that with all the time I spend in the desert, I would have seen a tarantula in person before, but today was definitely a first. Fortunately, in addition to riding bikes impressively well, Chris Boice is also a spider whisperer and talked our furry friend off of the trail and out of harms...

Conceptualized and brought to life by UK designer duo Nick Larsen and Paul Bliss, there were five completely different themes for kits, helmets and frames. The designs ramped up through the season, from Norco’s 60th anniversary celebration kit, to World Champs, to the Canadian Roots kit worn at the last race of the season at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Watch the full video to hear about the thinking and inspiration that went into each livery, for a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the energy driving Norco Race Division’s inaugural season.

- [Video: 'Vite En Vert' feat William Robert](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/11/video-vite-en-vert-feat-william-robert/) - A French athlete rides a bike designed in Canada(by a couple of Brits) with a British Racing Green-inspired colourway—a powerful trifecta. Watch William Robert as he tears through the Ussy Freeride zone on his Bri'ish Racing Green Supernought. The origins of British Racing Green are somewhat mysterious. Some suggest it has Irish roots. When racing was banned on Great Britain’s roads, competitions moved to the Emerald Isle, a.k.a. Ireland. Regardless of its true origin, one thing is certain: it’s a fast colour steeped in racing heritage. Forbidden's inspiration came specifically from the race livery found on many of Aston Martin's touring cars, which is why the brand added the fluorescent green highlights. Now, sit back and enjoy. It's only a minute after all. Your work can wait. Like what you see? Keep your eyes peeled for more Side Hits soon...

The S.150 is a hard-hitting, confidence-inspiring bike for those chasing fun on every ride. It’s the perfect, fun all-rounder for playing in your local woods, tackling that Enduro or heading out on a ride that could take you anywhere… Responsive and playful with a mullet set-up, the S.150 turns on a dime. With 150mm travel on the rear and 160mm up front, you can boost off every lip and it eats up everything you can throw at it. Then, thanks to its efficient seated pedalling position, it climbs back up like a mountain goat. The S.150’s geometry reflects its unmatchable racing pedigree. With 12 standard sizes, it is individually fitted to every rider for the ideal riding position when...

Albuquerque MTB](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/11/a-round-of-mini-golf-with-chris-boice-albuquerque-mtb/) - If you need a van, Chris is your man- In a desperate attempt to escape the icy wrath of Colorado, I headed south the hang out with the best bike rider and van builder I know, Mr, Chris Boice. With recent snows, the Foothills traction game was on point. Add in the wizardry of Chris and some afternoon light-bro and we have all the makings of a proper round of Mini Golf. Despite living here, Chris doesn't know the trail names but 9 holes were finished before dark. I only got stuck in one sand trap, which is remarkable for the course. Water hazards were avoided. This is the first ride I have filmed with my new YetiSB 160 with Flight Attendant. So far, especially in this type of rolling terrain, this setup is an absolute game-changer. Chunky DH bits with punchy climbs are no match for the Flight Attendant...

In pursuit of a fresh challenge, the Ridgeline team turned their sights beyond the familiar mountains of Europe. Seeking a place of mystery and raw, untouched beauty, they found themselves drawn to Kazakhstan. Covering an immense 2.7 million square kilometres, Kazakhstan is the world's ninth-largest country, a land that demands a new level of preparation and respect. Unlike previous projects where the team could adapt quickly, Kazakhstan's vast and remote stretches required far greater planning. With long distances between petrol stations and rugged, isolated terrain, every step of the journey had to be carefully thought out. Gee's journey in Kazakhstan saw him tackling huge, natural lines onboard his Atherton Bikes A.200, calling on every inch of travel...

Despite riding for 20 years, Robbie has never owned a full suspension bike, opting to be content with one basic bike to rule them all. Robbie Kane is one of those rare people who wastes nothing. Time, supplies, bike components, everything is an investment. Uncluttered by luxuries, he is able to focus on his craft, whether churning dirt for the next great trail, plucking the strings of an acoustic guitar, or riding with his furry friend Ochi. Robbie isn't resistant to change, he's just content further honing his skills, a reminder that life doesn't have to be so complicated. Words...

The summer of 2023 was the hottest on record for Phoenix, Arizona, with a daily average temperature of 97 degrees Fahrenheit for all of June, July and August and a total of 55 days with highs of at least 110 degrees.

The concept? Something a tad extreme, sparked by the sight of a steep patch in the nearby woods. After countless days of scouting, he stumbled upon a tree, marked '138', smack dab in the heart of one of the main chutes. Instantly, it conjured memories of the Misfits soundtrack used in the 2014 'Rad Company' film. With sweat and toil, the trail slowly took shape, boasting an DNA that was nothing short of radical – steep, technical, and demanding. — — — Loved it?

Building features to ride excites me, when it's with P the excitement is particularly amplified. We try to play with the capabilities of mountain bikes and our own capabilities whilst riding them.

In “Mecca in the Making,” Chattanooga’s mountain biking history is explored alongside critical partnerships that formed between riders and local officials. The result is a modern, bustling outdoor town with more than 100 miles of singletrack near the city center. Filmmaker: Garrett Henderson-Black

The Smashpot is a coil conversion kit that completely replaces your air spring (and its associated friction, stiction, nonlinearity, stiff initial stroke, maintenance, inconsistency, leakage etc) and replaces it with some bendy metal and hydraulics that make it eat bumps (much) better, for longer, without harsh bottom outs, and with much better bushing lubrication due to the increased oil volumes. The Smashpot also pairs beautifully with our recently released Telum rear shock, for those who want to experience the compliant, predictable feel of full-coil suspension. Smashpot V2 vs V1...

His latest street trials masterpiece. “The first time I got the invite to campus I immediately started riding the place in my mind. Riding all the rooftops, riding all the railings, you know, it’s a really interesting space. Not just anyone can go there! As soon as you see that kind of big overhanging piece of architecture or whatever, you immediately imagine the different things you could do up there. So, it was cool to finally get to come here to actually do it.” – Danny MacAskill, adidas Five...

A friend of mine had tipped me off to a location that involved a big burn zone filled with enormous slabs that could only be described as a “PNW Rampage zone”. The only downside was that it was 2.5 hours away from home, deep in the back country and no cell service. I finally found the time to make the trek out with my dirtbike and when I stumbled upon it I started screaming alone with excitement. I had finally found what I was looking for! I started construction on what I would consider...

- [Video: 'Analogy'](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/09/video-analogy/) - Sometimes two actions that have very different part-takers can seem so far appart, but in the end, can be so similar. An action of leaving a permanent trail. Using the elements as your canvas and your tires as the brushes. The similarities between mountain biking and painting are numerous. The creation of an irreversible path, a snap-second decision to go left or right, and the endless possibilities offered to your destiny are only a few. This abstract film portraits painting and biking as a new parallel to put emphasis that action sports are a form of art. It is a creative process simply with higher risks. The lines chosen, will stay forever, and they each have a unique story to tell. Your own.
- [Video: 'Coming Home' feat Alex Showerman](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/09/video-coming-home-feat-alex-showerman/) - What does it mean to return home unapologetically as yourself? “Coming Home” follows Alex Showerman, a lifelong Vermonter who spent her adult years in Waterbury mountain biking, trailbuilding, and advocating for her local trails. In 2020, she came out as a queer, trans woman, which led her west to pursue a full-time career as a freeride mountain biker. But every time she returns to her roots in Vermont, she reconnects with the Green Mountain State through fresh eyes, finding a new appreciation for the place that shaped her. In August of 2024, Alex returned home for another visit, but this time, with friends Brooklyn Bell and Hannah Bergemann in tow. Brooklyn and Hannah are two staples of the Pacific Northwest riding scene and have been mentors and sources of inspiration to Alex. Coming Home tells the story of an underrepresented athlete’s journey to make their mark in action sports and...

She’d had a hero once before, Canadian downhill cyclist Stevie Smith, but hadn’t realized that’s what he was until after he passed away. Once she acknowledged this hole in her life, she began to look for a new source of inspiration. After her initial admiration over Lael’s physical feats, Miranda came to the realization that what she found most important about Lael is the way her personality and attitude outshine everything else. Lael, always with a laugh or looking as if she’s about to crack a joke, showcased the adventure and beauty of the experience rather than the physical beat-down and challenge. Inspired by Lael, Miranda has taken on increasingly demanding bikepacking challenges over the last three years. She’s hallucinated in the middle of the night, fallen asleep while...

Some of Scotland's best hill terrain with flat out fast ridge lines, techy steep pitches and a quality bog to finish.

In a world-first feat, created in collaboration with Prada Linea Rossa, Godziek navigated an unprecedented mountain bike course built on a speeding train, mastering 10 carriages at a speed of 23 km/h while executing some of the sport's most electrifying tricks, all captured in a spectacular “freeze frame” effect. The vision was clear - build the world's first MTB track on a moving train. Turning this ambitious idea into reality, the Polish rider conquered the challenging course. With a 2.7-meter-wide track, potential wind gusts, and limited reference points, the technical demands were immense, but Godziek’s champion-level skills made the seemingly impossible, possible. “At first, I practiced riding on the track while the train was parked. Once I felt confident, we set the train in motion and gradually increased...

With three days of riding, a total of 24 stages and over 4,600m of descending on trails that are little known and often not open to the public in Exmoor, South West of England, it's a serious challenge for even the fittest rider or racer. However, its true charm lies in the fact that it's open to just 80 entrants each year, helping riders forge an intimate bond with each other as the race progresses - and because each and every one of them is looked after from start to finish with hospitality that's second to none. Whether it's the copious amounts of free food from Luffy and crew catered from morning to night, unlimited drinks in the evening, or the special surprise entertainment that's laid on each year, there's a good reason why it's...

Filmed in the stunning surrounds of Engelberg-Titlis, Switzerland. Gee said “From the start, the Ridgeline Series has been about taking mountain-biking to the limit... exploring what’s possible on a bike and creating the most stunning footage in the most amazing places around the world. I love that feeling of being on the very limit of how far we can go... I’m super proud of what we achieved in the Series so far, but I wanted to move beyond the adrenaline and glamour of a four minute edit.

We shot this with the goal of expressing my love for riding and everything that goes along with it—the feeling of going out for a ride and just letting everything else go, being completely free from the rest of the world, a feeling I can only get from riding my bike. Whether I’m out on my bike by myself or with the boys, it’s the thing I love most in the world. Spending a week riding in the French Alps, taking advantage of the trail infrastructure, refuges, and amazing views. Contrasting that with riding at Coast Gravity Park, fishing, and bike park barbecues with Tom and Gary, this was one of the most fun shoots I’ve had the pleasure of doing. Stoked...

Standing next to Finn Iles on the 2016 Junior World Championship podium, for a Canada 1-2 sweep in Val di Sole, Magnus was just beginning to establish himself on the World Cup Circuit as part of the new wave of Canadian DH racers. Magnus moved from being supported by the local bike shop, to eventually, a spot on Canyon Factory Racing alongside Mark Wallace and Troy Brosnan and a chance to race World Cups with factory support. He took pride in ‘earning’ his way. He honed his skills and each improvement brought him to the next level of support. Strong and determined, Magnus could glimpse the possibilities ahead, but then, at what felt like the moment he was poised on the edge of cracking into the top 10, he was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The two models Albert and Shredda are turning the MTB world on its head. The basis is the completely new design of the carcass. The carcass threads, which run diagonally across the tire at a 45° angle in normal bicycle tires, are arranged at a much more obtuse angle in both models. The technology, which was developed in the Downhill World Cup, opens up a completely new dimension in the function of bicycle tires. It has already helped Schwalbe athletes to a total of 14 World Cup victories. First and foremost Amaury Pierron (Commencal/Muc Off), who recently won at the World Cups in Les Gets and Val di Sole with a lead of 6.498 seconds and 4.893 seconds respectively. First and foremost, the arrangement ensures that the carcass material overlaps shorter and with less...

- [Video: 'In the Know' feat Jesse Melamed](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/07/video-in-the-know-feat-jesse-melamed/) - Whistler Local Is a term that gets tossed around alot, but there actually aren't many who can say that they are actually from there. Jesse Melamed now bases out of Squamish, but his knowledge of trails around the Sea To Sky region of Western Canada is deep. Turning the trails here into his own private training ground is a fairly easy task given their rough and demanding nature but for Jesse it's all about linking it all together.

- [Monday Motivation: 'Hard Enduro RAW' feat Chris Akrigg](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/07/monday-motivation-hard-enduro-raw-feat-chris-akrigg/) - Inspired by the sport of motorbike hard enduro racing, Chris Akrigg combines power with precision riding his E-160 RSX eMTB in Hard Enduro RAW 🔥 “The feel of a motorbike enduro is what I was after,” Chris explains of his inspiration for the edit, “they just go out and ride anything on their bikes – like really hard, trials lines, through to motocross. They’re having so much fun - just getting on bikes and riding. But hard enduro just covers so much riding from mega-hard trials, to fast-paced riding – but it’s just going out and having fun. Covering ground, doing technical stuff, all that gnadgery stuff over the logs – almost like indoor enduro, super-enduro. Just like when I was younger when I used to emulate moto trials riders, for this I wanted to emulate hard enduro riders – but with a twist. On my eBike.”

- [Shadows in the Understory - Ft. Dillon Butcher](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/07/shadows-in-the-understory-ft-dillon-butcher/) - One of the greatest challenges in cinematography is avoiding the repetition of the same ideas. It’s easy to fall into the habit of regurgitating what works to create a video, out of necessity to complete a project quickly. When Dillon and I first conceived the concept of “Shadows in the Understory,” it was daunting. We knew we had no time limit with a concept fueled by passion, but how do we seamlessly transition between seasons mid-ride in almost every shot? I wanted to do this in a way that was both challenging, feasible and difficult to reproduce. Naturally, the answer was to film almost the entire video using a Cable Cam, ensuring smooth transitions between seasons.

- [Video: 'Shadows in the Understory' feat Dillon Butcher](https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2024/07/video-shadows-in-the-understory-feat-dillon-butcher/) - One of the greatest challenges in cinematography is avoiding the repetition of the same ideas. It’s easy to fall into the habit of regurgitating what works to create a video, out of necessity to complete a project quickly. When Dillon and I first conceived the concept of “Shadows in the Understory,” it was daunting. We knew we had no time limit with a concept fueled by passion, but how do we seamlessly transition between seasons mid-ride in almost every shot? I wanted to do this in a way that was both challenging, feasible and difficult to reproduce. Naturally, the answer was to film almost the entire video using a Cable Cam, ensuring smooth transitions between seasons. Tripod and handheld filming would have been too simple and lacked the dynamic movement we envisioned. Initially, I had serious doubts about whether this idea would work. I wondered how it would be possible...

Combined with a slick track from rain earlier this week and baking hot conditions, and the field had their work cut out for them just to make it to the finish line without succumbing to time penalties.

Join adventure photographer Dan Milner and Alex Glasgow on a journey outside the norm, riding into the void. This is a story about embracing both the rewards and freedom of a mountain bike road trip and the challenges of choosing to do it by train through one of Scotland’s most empty spaces. This is the story of a road trip dictated not by filling stations and convenient trail center car parks but by inflexible train timetables, scarce accommodation options, and a near-total absence of diners. Route 66, this is not.

He drilled his dreams into reality with focus, determination, confidence, and somehow, a levity that always put a smile on his face. Truly one of the best, on and off a bike. We miss you,...

Appearing on Red Bull’s ‘Just Ride’ podcast, Atherton discussed overcoming adversity, seeking out new challenges and previewed the 10th-anniversary edition of Red Bull Hardline. The 39-year-old Atherton, who got his first bike for just £10 aged 10, has enjoyed remarkable success throughout his career but has also had to overcome some serious setbacks. As with many downhill riders, he has suffered his fair share of injuries such as dislocating a hip and breaking several bones.

Muc-Uff Big Bore - Muc-Off’s Big Bore tubeless valve stems innovate with a ball valve, ensuring unimpeded airflow. Twist the knob to open fully, but remember to close it before detaching the pump.

The new eONE-SIXTY platform comes after the much-lauded and award-winning version that has been around for a few years now. This launch builds on that success but also takes the bike in a slightly different direction; namely, we are looking at two bikes in one. I’m going to focus on the model I rode, the eONE-SIXTY 10k (thanks for the top-end ride, guys), but I want to give you an overview of the concept first. Essentially, the new bike comes in two platforms, carbon, the eONE-SIXTY CF and aluminium; the eONE-SIXTY LITE, the carbon version, while sharing the same suspension kinematics and overall look, is a different bike...

- [The Trade off](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/psychological/the-trade-off/) - Having just witnessed many disciplines at the 2023 World Cycling Championships I thought it fitting to delve into that classic British idiomatic phrase that is thrown around at such times and hopefully inspire some of you to take a moment to review your approach to your riding regime, the equipment you use and the cycling endeavours you choose. I hope you too can become inspired by the current breadth of talent and variety in our sport. The sport of mountain biking has fragmented into so many different genres from those early formative years that it has become almost impossible to encapsulate the multitude of disciplines and styles of off-road cycling when writing a feature, especially given the fact that each one of us can be anywhere along the MTB timeline at any given moment. Many inquisitive young adopters like myself will have dabbled in pretty much every discipline and the...

Price: 3995 EUR frame or from 8395 EUR complete The product For those around long enough to remember the early days of World Cup DH racing, the name of Cesar Rojo should ring a bell. Currently the engineer and mastermind behind the Unno brand, but back in the day he was a fierce contender for the podium. With the Burn, Unno designed an enduro frame from the ground up. It had to be a bike that loves demanding and big hitting trails, the stuff that makes you wear your full face. There are three sizes available, offering the bike to riders from 160cm up to 195 cm. Instead of the traditional S, M and L Unno opted to...
- [Haibike Lyke CF 2023](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/haibike-lyke-cf-2023/) - The Lyke is Haibike’s lightweight 140/140mm travel E-MTB. Equipped with the Fazua Ride 60 motor, 430Wh battery and a carbon frame, it is one of the lightest machines on the market. Price: GBP 9999 (starting from 5899 GBP) The product The Lyke is available at three different price points, but it is important to note that frame and electrical components on all three bikes are the same. The main changes are on the component specs, shaving off some weight and improving overall performance. When we look at the frame, there is a full carbon frame with 140mm of travel and a lot of cool technology. The wishbone style rocker helps isolate any sideways flex towards the rear damper, this greatly improves the way the suspension works out on the trail and increases bearing and bushing life in general. Cable routing is done internally through the stem/headset area, making a tidy look...
- [Crags and Slabs](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/terrain/crags-and-slabs/) - Bedrock, boulders, and slick slabs of stone are some of the key elements that make up the quintessential mountain bike experience. For those of you who are lucky enough to live in such areas, these staple trail elements are less demanding. But as many riders live miles away from the mountains, some of you may find yourself getting in above your head when coming across these types of features. But, fear not, as we will help you ride rocks with added confidence, drop slabs with style and master the world of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic matter. Let’s start by looking at some of the common problems you are likely to encounter when dealing with rocky ground. Getting hung up/stalling out on a boulder, crag, or face in the bedrock. Smashing pedals and cranks on big rocks and bedrock. Being pushed off-line by sloping rocks, ridges in bedrock, and off-cambers in...

In the same funky red look, the inserts are available for 27.5” 29” and 700C Gravel tires. A set costs just about 110 Euros which is on par with other insert manufacturers. In terms of design, they use their patented Aither multi-cell foam to provide protection. What sets these apart from other designs, is their shape that closely follows the contours of the tire.

- [Riding Ruts](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/skills/riding-ruts/) - Love or hate them, ruts and deep-scoured sections of the trail are something that we are likely to encounter at some point in our mountain bike experience. If you ride fall-line wild trails on soft ground or lap race courses in the wet then that narrow groove cut in the dirt will be a familiar nemesis that can end a good run of luck. Whether you are an in or out kind of rider, ruts present us with all sorts of decisions to make, they can also nudge you in a plethora of unsavoury angles and typically when you don’t need that helping hand. Ruts and scoured sections are the quintessential trail condition that forces your hand into making decisive line choices, if you are not in tune with making conscious line choices then now is the time to start doing so, without them you will always be working against...

Staying motivated at this time of year can be hard work, with the sun fading early in the day and tough trail conditions it can be tempting to ditch the bike and instead take on other projects.

Their ultra oversized Catalyst pedals have the biggest platform surface out there. The pedals come in 5 different colours (black, grey, blue, purple and red) and for riders with size 13US/47EU or larger they make an XL version. The product The Catalyst pedals are an invention of James Wilson, a fanatic bike rider and strength coach who has worked with top MTB racers like Gwin and Houseman in the past years. In his work and while out riding he came across a good amount of stigma revolving around flat pedals. They’re for DH riders only, they lack pedalling efficiency, if you want to make the most of your pedal stroke you need to be clipped in. Somehow that felt counterintuitive and he decided to dive into the literature to find proof for being clipped in. However, when...

They focussed on three things: protection, fit and comfort. On the protection side they partnered with Mips to create a new system called Integra Split. It features two layers of foam with a...

- [The Weighting Game](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/psychological/the-weighting-game/) - Pump up your riding This issue it’s about time we delve deeper into the subject of pumping, pressure, and unweighting the bike. When it comes to putting words into action then this is a topic fraught with controversy and confusion. Thanks to the various lingo used to describe a sensation and a technique, the outcome on the trail can be very different from the intention of the tutor. When used to good effect, riders will gain free speed and progression along the trail will seem effortless. But get it wrong and you will kiss that free speed goodbye and take a beating in the process. You may be familiar with the common terms of pump, press, bounce, weight, and unweight, the usual skills basics stuff. So where and when do we deploy these techniques? If, like me, you have ever seen someone bouncing the bike up and down on the...

Having observed many things related to this subject I thought it was high time I got around to writing something about it. To be honest, it is one thing that bewilders me and gets my blood pressure up. Not wanting to step in the shoes of IMB’s Angry Insider, but let me share a snapshot of my frustration and bewilderment on this topic. I see strange rock strikes and claw marks when I’m out working on the trails, and then there are the little crank socks that you can also throw your hard-earned money at,...

- [Contact Points](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/skills/contact-points/) - In this edition, we are getting all touchy-feely (in an appropriate manner) as we look at contact patches. No matter what we do on the bike from simply rolling along the road to ram-raiding a boulder field we have just a small amount of surface area in contact with the bike and the terrain. We are of course talking about the hands-on grips, foot on pedal, derrière on the saddle, and the all-important tyre to terrain. So what is happening over those few centimetres squared and how can we tweak our technique to get that bit more control? First up let's look at some basics before taking on some core skills delving deeper into how small adjustments can make a big difference on the trail. Working from the ground up we have the tyre on the trail. Tyre type, width, casing, compound, pressure, tubeless/tubes, tyre inserts, and the width of...

This annoyed Ike Tseng – and already shortly afterwards in September 1972, the first production plant of his company Merida Industry Co., Ltd. was opened in Yuanlin (Taiwan). The man whose life motto was “move with passion and courage” chose the name “Merida” intentionally: The rough translation of the three syllables “Me-Ri-Da” means that the company’s intention is to manufacture only beautiful and high-quality products enabling anyone to reach her or his destination as pleasantly as possible. But Ike Tseng wouldn’t have been himself if he had been satisfied with the successful realization of his plan to be able to offer high-quality bikes “Made in Taiwan”. So in 1988, he took the second big step by launching the independent brand MERIDA: In...

The heritage of Italian motorsport is full of names like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ducati, and most importantly Marzocchi. It was over 60 years ago, in 1949 to be exact when Stefano and Guglielmo Marzocchi founded Marzocchi Spa, which today produces the finest, best performing Mountain bike and Motor bike suspension products in the world. The two brothers began their career as designers at the prestigious Ducati company, but soon realized that building their own empire was the direction in which they wanted to go. After several successful years of designing and manufacturing complete motor bikes, the brothers decided that hydraulic suspension was to be the future of Marzocchi. In the late 50s Marzocchi became known as an OEM and aftermarket supplier for brands such as Ducati, BMW, Cagiva, KTM and Aprillia.

- [Whistler Bike Park](https://www.imbikemag.com/bike-parks/whistler-bike-park/) - This is the official Facebook Fan Page for the Whistler Mountain Bike Park. The Whistler Mountain Bike Park is not like any other biking experience you have ever had. The trails often have sustained stretches of downhill riding and the lifts allow you to ride much more vertical than you would normally do in a long day of riding. This page is aimed at giving you the information that you need to have a great day and go home tired, dirty and happy. Bikes & Gear: It is very important to ride the right bike for the job. You wouldn't use a finishing hammer to frame a house and this is no different. A downhill bike has plush suspension in both the front and rear to smooth out the bumps on rugged trails. Rent a bike if you don't have your own and ask the rental technician to tune the suspension to your body weight and skills. There is a reason why most riders are wearing armor- it works. Crashing is a possibility no matter how slow or cautious you ride and protecting yourself from cuts and scrapes with pads is a must. A proper fitting full-face helmet is the...

- [Alpkit](https://www.imbikemag.com/brands/alpkit/) - Go Nice Places, Do Good Things There was a time when we had a lot of time free, so we stumbled into the outdoors. We worked in an outdoor shop, saved some cash, and got ourselves kitted out. We travelled, did some routes and life was good. Then our kit started falling apart, we were no longer students and we realised the cost of replacing it. As we waited to pick up yet another x-xtra large fleece in the sales we patched up our waterproofs and wore an extra jumper in our smelly sleeping bags. During this time we realised that the passing years had taught us something, we had the experience to create something new. And somewhere therein lays the real story of how Alpkit.com™ was born. Born out of the passion for outdoor activity and not accepting the costs involved in getting quality equipment in our sacks. Four ordinary people trying to make some thing extraordinary.

Back in 1982, with just a hundred bucks to his name, the likeable young Drew Lien - then Jim Holley's mechanic - came up with a cable guide and a stick-on heat shield as leading products for a new company he was dreaming of starting. Everything back then was alphabetical said Drew Lien in a 2004 interview ; DG, FMF, CMC, HRP, and so on. So I thought that DRP (Drew's Racing Products) would be an awesome name! (Laughter).... My buddy Chuck told me not to name it that. So I went home, and I was sitting on the couch, looking at a poster I had of Bob Hannah, who was number 100 one year. And I thought, What does it take to win? You've got to give it 100% like Bob does…. And I named her 100% on the spot. And what's funny is, everyone, and I mean everyone, told me not to name her that!

After graduating from college in California in 1974, Mike Sinyard —like so many of us—wasn't too sure what he wanted to do next. The only thing he was sure of was his passion for cycling. He sold his VW Microbus to fund a cycling trip through Europe, and the rest was fate. In Milan, Mike met a girl who knew the legendary craftsman Cino Cinelli. He quickly bought a suit and arranged a meeting. Mike's enthusiasm impressed him, and they made a deal that would allow Mike to import Mr. Cinelli's beautiful high-end components into the United States. Full of enthusiasm, Mike hurried back to California in time to meet the shipping boxes, which he stored under his 8 by 30-foot mobile home to keep them dry when it rained. This was his first warehouse and sales office combined. Initial customers were bike shops in the San Francisco Bay Area, who paid cash in advance for their orders. The bike shops had to be fairly close because, for the first five years Mike had this business, he didn't own a car. Whether it was making deliveries by bike or...

- [Ravemen Lights](https://www.imbikemag.com/brands/ravemen-lights/) - RAVEMEN is an innovative bike light brand with cutting-edge performance. The award-winning PR series bike lights are the First bike lights with High Beam and Low Beam like Car's Headlights in the Market and regarded as the best light for mountain and road Ravemen is derived from our passion for bike riding and concern for bike riders as well as others’ safety. Coming from different areas of the bicycle industry and being biking enthusiasts, engaging in night riding is quite normal for us. To our regret, most of the high-output bike lights on the market have no anti-glare capability, which is dangerous to oncoming traffic , and as a result places them at great risk. In fact, many people have had the experience of being dazzled by high lumen bike lights, and we believe that every rider also tries not to disturb others while enjoying the fun of riding. Based on such perception and being inspired by automotive headlights, the idea of applying a similar design to bike lights came into our minds. Through the entire process of conceiving, designing, proofing, testing and adjusting, we finally made it! That means the world’s first bike light with a simulation of the...

We protect against punctures and rim damage so you can get out riding without ever getting a flat again. The story so far… From non-stick frying pans to the biro pen ‘game changing’ ideas might not always be complicated but that doesn’t make them easy to realise. The Tannus Tyres brand has developed over the last 10 years with the aim to create the world’s first non-puncture, airless bicycle tyre. Company CEO, Y K Lee and his father both have respected reputations as chemical engineers and innovators within polymer manufacture. In 2005 they established a Texol material with a shock absorbent qualities and the malleability and responsiveness of rubber. The father/son partners had already seen the material utilised within the sports shoe production, however Y K Lee envisaged that this material could help realise his aim to instigate a new era in non-puncture bicycle tyres. Research and development of this product provided YK Lee with a continual series of hurdles which tested his eminent ability and doggedness. Early polymer tyre prototypes melted in the sun, skidded on wet tarmac through insufficient traction or wore down at an unacceptable rate. Since August...

- [Peatys Products Clean, Degrease and Lube Kit 2021](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/cleaning-products/peatys-products-clean-degrease-and-lube-kit-2021/) - Taking care of your bike requires time, dedication and of course some quality products. We received a pack from Peaty’s that contains the basics for when it comes to keeping your bike in top shape. The pack contains Loam Foam bike cleaner, Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser and Link Lube. About the brand Peaty’s was founded by Steve Peat and Bryn Morgan out of frustration of the then available tubeless sealants. Steve and Bryn had a chat, and decided they can do things better. Better sealant, and biodegradable too was the goal. The glittery Peaty’s sealant was born. From there it was a logical move to work on other key products like tubeless valves, lubes, cleaners and other stuff. On the sustainability front there is no dedicated chapter on the website on the subject, nor do they openly support any NGO’s. It is very clear however that Peaty’s products are all biodegradable...

About the brand You’ve quite possibly never heard of Double 3. I certainly hadn’t, but the Rome based clothing company deserves to be better known through the biking world. Double 3 makes such a great deal out of their decision to base the entire manufacturing process in Italy that they literally wear it on their sleeves. They claim that this allows them to be sure of the environmental and ethical standards being applied, a laudable effort as nobody is forcing us to ride bikes around muddy fields, so we shouldn’t really be forcing someone to make the products we use to do it. The Product First off, the “race pyjama” look isn’t for everybody. Fortunately, whilst the “Tetsuya...

Still, their offering of high end XC, enduro and all mountain bikes can compete with the biggest brands in the industry. We took the Hightower for a spin during the Backside Bikes test day in Verbier, Switzerland. With such a short time on the bike, you cannot call this a full on test, but I wanted to share my first impression of this bike anyway. About the brand Santa Cruz was founded in 1993 by Rich Novak, Mike Marquez and Rob Roskopp. Rob was a former pro skateboarder and had a signature model with Rich’s skateboard company Santa Cruz. The two went into a partnership with Mike who had experience in bicycle suspension. Together with Tom Morris they developed the first Santa Cruz mountain bikes. In 1999 they purchased the patents for Outland bikes’ VPP...

- [Dare - Double Dare - The Psychological Challenge](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/psychological/dare-double-dare-the-psychological-challenge/) - In part 2 of our session instalment, we take a glimpse into rider psychology and our mental approach to practising sections of trail. Working on our mental game is a fast track way to improve what happens on the bike. Neglect the mental training, and all that hard work on the bike is as good as worthless. I have mentioned in many previous features mountain biking is a skill-based sport and can (and should) be learnt progressively. For some, mountain biking is just a way to get fit and enjoy the countryside, but I can imagine that many of you here deep in the pages of IMB are enthusiastic enough to want to take on bigger challenges and further your riding ability. Many people think we’re risk-takers, but in actual fact, we are the masters of risk management. By developing our mental approach to riding we can better manage risk...

It’s won plenty of awards over the years, and rightly so. By today’s standards, it’s perhaps not the longest, lowest or slackest enduro focused e-MTB on the market, but that doesn’t detract from what is an exceedingly capable bike. For 2021 the bike gets the EP8 treatment, the latest motor from Shimano; it’s also rocking a 29er up front and a 650b out the back, giving it the mullet makeover. There is also a Thermo Gate in the head tube area of the carbon frames; this allows warm air to escape from the frame to keep the internal battery at the optimum temperature. Along with space for a full-size water bottle, there is some updated componentry with a few interesting additions. First up, BOMBERS! The fork that...
- [Looks Like a Session](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/psychological/looks-like-a-session/) - Practice makes permanent Skills on demand and the ability to make the bike dance down the trail are not so much about perfecting things, it's more a matter of embedding subconscious memory (connections in the brain) and muscle memory within ourselves, making a permanent connection so that we can make the correct shapes at the correct times. With the core skills permanently embedded in our minds and bodies we can start to take on more challenging line choices and more technical trails, in dire situations where wheels slide out or we over-rotate then it is thanks to deep-rooted connections that we can make all the rights shapes at the right time to get the bike back under control.

So what should we have learned so far? The simple mantra of good technique - Vision, Speed Control, Body position, and Footwork should be hard-wired into your inner dialog by now. The techniques for braking and shifting should be second...

- [Merida Bikes Big Trail 600 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/hard-tails/merida-bikes-big-trail-600-2020/) - Striking, that is the word that came to mind on first sight of the Merida Big trail 600. A gorgeous forest green set off with bright red forks and decals. The 2021 model is an equally alluring purple affair that also catches the eye. This is the top of the range Big Trail, with 2 lower models for 2021. Beyond the looks alone there is a purposeful stance to the Big Trail that suggests Merida have put together a top-notch trail hardtail. I have always been a sucker for the classic hardtail silhouette and whenever I see a top tube flow straight into the seat stays my heart picks up a beat. There is more going on here than just pure looks. A ground-up reworking of the Big Trail sees it step right into the ‘to be taken seriously’ arena. Boost front and back, a revised chain line to allow...
- [Melon Optics Alley Cat 2021](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/glasses/melon-optics-alley-cat-2021/) - In the past few years we’ve seen the revival of the neon fluorescent flash fashion of the 90’s. Especially in the world of sunglasses there has been a comeback of big, bright goggle-like eyewear to protect your eyes from that ball of fire in the sky. The guys and gals at Melon Optics have been in the game since 2013, kicking off as a small startup tricking the founders father into shipping the goods, while founder James went to do ‘product research’ in Morzine. Although a suspicious move at first sight, it definitely paid off in the end. After some more conventional sunglasses and some good looking goggles they launched their Alleycat glasses in the winter of 2019. Launching sunglasses in winter isn’t the most logical move, but if you want to do things properly it always takes longer than you think. Manufactured in a family owned factory in Italy,...
- [Kids Ride Shotgun Kids Ride Shotgun Seat & Handlebar 2021](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/multi-tools/kids-ride-shotgun-kids-ride-shotgun-seat-handlebar-2021/) - There have always been many solutions to carrying a child on your bike. Since the dawn of the bicycle, riders have strapped stuff, including offspring to their two-wheeled machines. Many of these child carrying devices are cumbersome, unwieldy and made of cheap plastic, but in recent years we have seen a change in the quality of seats available for kids on bikes. The idea of taking one's child on a mountain bike with them may seem odd, but the cross-bar seat is nothing new and has been used for generations on 'normal bikes' to good effect. What the Kids Ride Shotgun seat does, is bring the child seat into the 21st century and give a safe and secure way to take a child on the trails. Essentially the seat has two parts, a seat which clamps onto the frame, which also has foot pegs for little feet. It also has...

Based out of bike mecca Squamish B.C. the team that was once running the show at Race Face, now bring out some of the most innovative products in the bike industry while sticking to their motto, work less ride more. Rumor has it that they even have a 4 day work week... Besides being good to their employees, they also support a wide range of NGO’s and trail advocacy groups like SORCA, PORCA, World Bicycle Relief and reforestation projects with 1% of their annual sales (not just 1% of the profit as some greenwashing companies do). We got our hands on the V2 dropper post with a whopping 210mm of travel. For a lanky guy like me with a 87cm inseam, this amount of travel is a gift of the gods. If you’re after a dropper with less travel, they...
- [CUBE Bikes Stereo Hybrid 160 Action Team 20'' 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/cube-bikes-stereo-hybrid-160-action-team-20-2020/) - Cube have been putting incredible bikes together for many years now, always known for incredible value their e-bikes are no different. Cube was one of the first brands to really champion the e-bike in mountain biking and the years of experience have paid off. The Stereo Hybrid 160 Action Team 27.5 sits near the top of their spec range, yet boasts a price point that will leave you firmly at the entry-level of some of the brands out there. What we have here is incredible value and a bike stacked with components that will get you frothing at the mouth. At the bike's heart is the latest engine from Bosch, the CX performance unit is smaller and has been designed to be easier to pedal when you go over the limit and with the engine off. Coupled with a huge 625w battery that is neatly integrated into the frame it's...
- [Transition Bikes PBJ XL 2021](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/hard-tails/transition-bikes-pbj-xl-2021/) - The bike industry is a bit strange these times, with availability of any type of bike a major challenge. How it normally works is the media requests a bike model to test with the brand. They’d be happy to send the bike out, and after a few weeks of riding, razzin’ and evaluation the bike is returned to the brand. The article gets written up and goes out to the readers for information and entertainment. These are different times however. With the entire world population going out and buying any kind of bike they could get their hands on in 2020, all shops, distributors and brands are left with empty warehouses and fat pockets. Although it’s great to see more people discovering the joy of riding bikes, it does present a few challenges. One of them being the complete lack of test bikes. Here at IMB we like to think...

- [Gloworm Lights XSV 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/lights/gloworm-lights-xsv-2019/) - Kiwi light company Gloworm offer a range of lighting solutions for the nocturnal mountain biker. Their latest lumen blaster has a mighty 3400 lumens on offer and is designed as a bar mounted powerhouse to illuminate your night time trails. It's powerful, and is housed in a CNC's case and features an external battery which is attached separately onto the frame. The aim is to create a floodlight which a wide beam which can be used on its own or supplemented with a helmet light. That said, it can be mounted on a helmet if you want some retina-burning power on your lid. There are three power levels and options for a commuter mode which makes it versatile for all type of riding. It's highly waterproof, and can even be submerged for 30 minutes and still come out shining and the lights are drop and shock tested. Add to all...
- [Vecnum Nivo 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/seat-posts/vecnum-nivo-2020/) - Dropper posts have been extending rapidly with a race to see who can offer the most drop. 125mm used to be the norm when they first hit the scene, but with short seat tubes on modern frames, anything up to and beyond 200mm is now available. Vecnum has one of the longest drops on the market with their Nivo offering a monstrous 212mm of drop. The Nivo is available in 4 lengths which cover a range of drops from 90mm to 212mm and comes as a 30.9 diameter with shims to fit larger posts. There is an indexed and an infinite adjustment (4mm steps) option available too. The Travel Fit version tested here has 32mm of adjustment to fine-tune your travel and the 212mm version weighs in at 511g. The post uses a mechanical “shutLOC” locking system to hold the post which is essentially a pin that is pulled out...
- [Climbing](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/terrain/climbing/) - Uppers Will Improve your Downers Having been around the scene for over three decades I'm well aware that climbing is not everyone's cuppa tea, but when push comes to shove, we have to face the reality that in order to go down first we must go up. All too often the topic is taboo for the recreational rider, and it is easy to snub those who seek Strava gold or wear the spandex to 'make the fitness', but climbing stuff is more than just hauling uphill. With the bulk of the UK buying market hopping on the new enduro bandwagon, where the focus has become more orientated towards gravity-assisted sections of trail. Many riders end up with wheels below themselves that are better suited to the downhill gnar, yes they are capable steeds that enable you to get to the top under your own steam (especially thanks to sprockets the...
- [Julbo Eyewear Quickshift Goggles 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/goggles/julbo-eyewear-quickshift-goggles-2020/) - The demands and expectations for mountain bike goggles have increased massively over the last decade. This, in part, is due to the rise of Enduro and challenges that racing of this format delivers. Goggles are now worn for longer, with higher levels of effort from the rider and in every type of weather condition. Julbo has long been at the forefront of the eyewear game, making goggles, glasses and helmets for the skiing world. Their mountain bike products so far have lived up to there reputation and the Quickshift goggles appear to be no exception. Essentially these goggles aim to achieve the best possible ventilation in the form of removable sections from the lower portion of the frame. This allows for more airflow to occur and the dreaded fog to be avoided. To do this Julbo have removable magnetic pieces (Switch Air System), which sit under the goggles this, along...
- [Ravemen Lights TR300 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/lights/ravemen-lights-tr300-2020/) - Night riding feels like an arms race to put as much firepower on the front of your bike as possible. Lumens now number in the thousands and lights can burn the retinas from any unsuspecting nocturnal animals on the trail. What is sometimes forgotten is something pointing the other way, especially if you intend on using roads to get to, from, or between trails. Having been very impressed with Ravemen when I tested the 1600 lumen front light they seemed like an ideal choice for a rear. The TR300 is their most powerful rear light but comes in a tidy, compact package, which can easily be left on the bike or stashed in a pack for emergencies. Designed to be clearly visible day and night, this light packs a punch and has 3 LEDs, which give off 300 lumens. It has various flashing modes, continuous modes and run times go...
- [Ravemen Lights PR1600 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/lights/ravemen-lights-pr1600-2020/) - Perhaps not the most familiar name in mountain bike lights, Ravemen produce a range of lighting for road and off-road use. With 1600 lumens, it not going to blow the competition away on pure power, but a competitive price, innovative tech and a sleek package all combine to make the Ravemen 1600 worth a closer look. The packaging may look like something you could pick up for £20 quid in a supermarket, but the light itself is a solid, well-made piece of kit featuring 2 CREE LEDs and a 6000mAh/3.7V Lithium-Ion battery. The unit is all in one, so no cables to battery packs here and it mounts directly onto the handlebars with a plastic mount. A head mount is available and uses GoPro type mounting systems. The battery is charged via a USB type C charger and also has an output to charge phones or other devices from it,...
- [SRAM MTB XO1 Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/drivetrain/sram-mtb-xo1-eagle-axs-upgrade-kit-2020/) - Although electronic shifting has been around for a while, SRAMs AXS is the first wireless transmission to hit the mountain bike market. Shimano's Di2 may offer electrics with cables, but SRAM has ditched any form of cables for wireless magic. Available as an entire groupset, as separate components, or as an upgrade kit there are multiple ways to get into the wireless world. This kit comes with a mech, shifter and charger to take your existing drivetrain and convert it. Essentially this is wireless Eagle, the same cassettes, chainrings and chains work with the system, the only difference is the shifter and rear mech. The mech looks familiar but appears slightly bulkier with space for the motor and the battery to attach, however, the mech cage is 10mm shorter for better clearance. The mech has another feature to help protect itself, in the form of the Overload Clutch that on...
- [CUBE Bikes Stereo 170 SL 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/cube-bikes-stereo-170-sl-2020/) - Continuing from the well-received Stereo 150, Cubes latest addition to the Stereo range is the long travel Stereo 170. The Stereo range has never had such a long travel bike, but modern riders are now demanding more travel, bigger wheels and very little in the way of compromise. Cube has not strayed too far from the traditional Stereo design and the shape of the frame is clearly a Cube, as is the value, which they are famous for. Cube claim you can have it all with the Stereo 170; all the big hit confidence of a long travel bike with the playful agility and climbing prowess of a short travel machine. The aluminium frame features Cubes Agile Trail Geometry and uses there tried and tested four-bar suspension design. Interestingly there are two shock mounts, one for an air shock and one for coil, which allows the frame to work with...
- [Vitus E-Escarpe 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/vitus-e-escarpe-2020/) - Vitus' E-Sommet was one of the first E-MTBs that really shone for me, excelling in both performance and price amidst a world of ugly, ebikes that were poorly designed and executed. For 2020 Vitus expand their range of ebikes to include the E-Escarpe, which is based on their impressive 140mm 29er trail bike. Vitus' proven suspension design carries over to the electric version but rather than 29er front and rear we get a 650b plus out back, which in theory means more grip for all that power. Rather than go down the route of internal batteries they stayed with the excellent external batteries from Shimano. This allows for a second battery to be carried easily to have big days out on the bike. Of the four models of E-Escarpe available, this is the base model with the more advanced models getting additional letters (VR, VRS, VRX), better specs and higher...

- [BOX Components Box 3 Prime 9 Drivetrain 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/drivetrain/box-components-box-3-prime-9-drivetrain-2020/) - Drivetrains have been turned up well past eleven now, and the race to put the most gears on a bike has probably subsided. Perhaps 12 is enough? Well, Box thinks 12 is more than enough and are encouraging us to think a little differently with a 'less is more' philosophy. The Box Prime 9 range aims to convince us the nine gears is plenty, providing you still have a wide range of ratios available. Ranging from Box Four to Box One, there is a range of price points and specifications available. The Box Four is the value end of the spectrum and curiously has only eight gears, but from then on it's nine-speed all the way up to Box One. The main claims being made by Box is that fewer gears lead to more robust components that will last longer. Further to this Box suggest things are more straightforward and...
- [TRP Cycling G-Spec Trail SL 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/brakes/trp-cycling-g-spec-trail-sl-2019/) - TRP has come on leaps and bounds with their brakes in recent years and is fighting hard in a tough market. Never have we had braking so good, and riders are continually demanding more and more from their brakes. Power, weight, adjustability and modulation are all expected at our fingertips in equal measure. G-Spec is the label given to the brakes designed and developed with Aaron Gwin, a relationship that started back in 2016 and produced products that have punched TRP into the mainstream. Here we have the G-Spec Trail SL brakes, which are essentially a slimmed-down version of their downhill brake. It's shaved a bit of weight and uses two different sized sets of pistons in the four-pot calliper, which claim to improve modulation. The calliper is a solid-looking piece of kit with fins CNC'd along the back, which gives a distinctive look and aids with heat loss. The...
- [Sector 9I Wheelset 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/wheels/sector-9i-wheelset-2020/) - New from the folks behind Kinesis UK and DMR in the UK are Sector wheels, offering a carbon rimmed wheelset called 9i aiming to be both light weight, but with a 'suit of armour'. Claiming to be tough enough for enduro but light enough for XC, the 9i wheelset has bold aspirations and a unique approach to creating the ultimate rim. The rim has an internal width of 29mm and 35mm external. They're hookless and tubeless-ready of course, but their construction is a little different from what we have come to expect from a carbon rim. The rim is made of T700 Unidrection Carbon fibre, which is not unusual, but where things get funky is the outer layer, which covers the rim. The outer layer is more complex and combines Innegra and T700 carbon fibres in a hybrid fabric called TeXtreme. This TeXtreme fabric is known as a 'spread tow'...
- [Industry Nine Enduro 305 Wheelset 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/wheels/industry-nine-enduro-305-wheelset-2019/) - Industry Nine is known for producing high-quality wheelsets for all types of off-road biking. Their straight-pull aluminium spokes and rapid engaging hubs have set them apart from the crowd and delivered a performance that few can match. The Torch hub has been a benchmark in hub and freewheel technology for some time, with its rapid 3-degree engagement and durable parts. For 2019 we see Industry Nine go one further and release their Hydra hub, which now has an incredible 0.52-degree engagement. The Hydra hub replaces the Torch as their top performance hub and uses 6 Pawls on a 115 tooth ring to create the tiny angle of engagement. They've changed to leaf springs under these pawls, and each of them engages separately from each other. This means that they don't all 'click' at the same time, but with the inherent flex in the system, they will all support the load...
- [Hunt All-Mountain Carbon H_Impact Wheelset 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/wheels/hunt-all-mountain-carbon-h_impact-wheelset-2020/) - Hunts ever-expanding wheel range now includes an Enduro focused carbon wheelset for the gravity rider looking for strength combined with carbon precision. Front and rear-specific, the All-Mountain Carbon H_Impact claims to be responsive, compliant and incredibly strong, all at the same time! What it doesn't claim to have is a particularly snappy moniker. Getting right to the point, the crucial selling point of this pair of hoops is the £789 and a lifetime crash replacement policy. That's right; you break them, Hunt will fix or replace them. There are a couple of caveats, that it needs to be the original owner and only used on single crown forks, but other than that it's pretty simple. Their confidence is based on extensive testing and settling on a rim that their test team couldn't break. The Wheelset in 29er weighs 1878g and has a 28mm internal width which is perhaps a couple...
- [Marin Bikes Rift Zone Carbon 2 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/marin-bikes-rift-zone-carbon-2-2019/) - The Rift Zone in its modern form has been a blinding success for Marin, coming right into the heart of the mountain bike market with an affordable trail bike that is both capable and fun to ride. Not setting out to be a race bike of any genre, the bike is simply for riding, and certainly for having fun. Roll on to 2019 and the new version has evolved into an even better bike and is still striking some impressive price points. All that was lacking in the range was a top-end model. The Rift Zone 3 has an excellent spec for the price but what about those riders who have deeper pockets and still want to get on board a Marin? The answer lies in the Rift Zone Carbon, the latest incarnation of a modern classic. Coming in two specs, Rift Zone Carbon 1 and 2 share the same...
- [Kona Bikes Remote 160 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/kona-bikes-remote-160-2020/) - Kona has built upon the foundations of the Process 153 and created what is effectively an e-MTB version of the popular enduro bike. At first glance, it is easy to see where the comparisons come from with the progressive geometry and slack head angles that the Process is well known for, being evident in the design. There are some slight differences, but overall the bike has the same characteristics and rides in the same fun, playful manner that we have come to love from Kona bikes. Only now you get to travel further and faster than before and get those extra laps in on your favourite trails! The legendary Canadian brand has of course given us an e-MTB bike before in the form of the Remote Ctrl which used an internal battery with a 3rd generation Bosch motor. This time we see a change to the Shimano steps E8000 70nm...
- [Kinesis Rise E-Trail 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/kinesis-rise-e-trail-2020/) - UK brand Kinesis may not be the first brand that springs to mind when you think of electric bikes, but the British brand has launched its e-division with a genuinely unique electric mountain bike. Up until this bike I firmly believed that all hardtail ebikes were rubbish, I've probably even written it somewhere, so I'll cut to the chase and state that the Rise from Kinesis has certainly changed my mind with this exception! Known for quality aluminium frames, Kinesis has developed a 'British style' hardtail and combined that with the futuristic motor and battery system from Fazua. The result is a rather stealth looking e-hardtail ready to attack the trails while having the bonus of an assisted uplift. The Fazua Evation drive system is very different from what we currently see on most emtbs. Fitting into the down tube the whole motor and battery unit can be removed, leaving...
- [Linking Skill to Link Features](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/skills/linking-skill-to-link-features/) - Never Break The Chain Welcome, and welcome back to the regulars and thank you for joining us for another instalment of the Progression Sessions. This issue we delve into the subject of linking, that is both linking the features in the trail and looking at how we connect our core skills and technique to help keep speed and generate that flow where terra firma wants to rob it from you. When the terrain is easy-going, there is far less need to be dynamic, and matching bike/body shape to terrain shapes. Still, as we have discussed in the past when things get a bit spicier and the terrain becomes more intense, we really need to deploy our core skills and start to match our shapes to suit the shapes in the terrain, and for the speed we are travelling. We move more dynamically to get the bike moving, carefully picking our...

- [Stans NOTUBES Arch S1 Wheelset 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/wheels/stans-notubes-arch-s1-wheelset-2018/) - Stalwarts of the mountain bike wheel scene, Stans have been rolling out hoops for a long time and have always been at the forefront of rim development. Their Flow rim was wide and strong ahead of its time and their development of tubeless setups has been hugely important for mountain bike development. Their main range of rims can be simplified to three key products, the Crest, Arch and Flow, each wider and stronger than the last. The Crest focuses on cross-country duties while the Flow is going to appeal to those looking to push some limits. The Arch, therefore, sits into that easily pigeonholed but hard to define 'trail' category which can mean many different things to different riders. All these rims are available in either The Mk3 or S1 versions. Having tried the Arch Mk3 previously, we took delivery of the S1 version, which aims to keep costs down...
- [Stans NOTUBES Arch Mk3 Wheelset 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/wheels/stans-notubes-arch-mk3-wheelset-2017/) - Stan's have been doing the tubeless thing for some time now, and their range of products for keeping air in tyres without tubes is well developed and widely used. Their wheelsets have been well received and used throughout mountain biking, from XC to downhill and everything in between, always being ahead of the curve. We are in a period of rapid change in the world of mountain bike tyres and rims, with new widths, depths and profiles coming at us left right and centre. With the advent of plus sized tyres, and now with the addition of 2.6 coming fast this year, rubber is getting complicated. Add into all this a desire for wider and wider rims; we now have a complex combination of tyre and rim sizes. When I first spoke to Stan's about a set of wheels I was convinced I needed a set of Flows, as I...

This is just a fact of life and one of the hardest learning curves to conquer, the process of not making mistakes and the art of recovering from them. Whether you are bouncing back from broken bones or merely trying to get the bike pointing the right way having encountered the infamous 'pine cone mid-corner moment' recovery is everything. The Psychological Element The focus of our feature and focal point for you is on the recovery made, be it from accident/injury or from just a simple slide out. To avoid getting into what I coined as 'the negative spiral of woe' where we beat ourselves up following a mistake, we have to focus our minds and reward ourselves for the way we handled the situation and recovered from it....
- [Muc Off Pressure Washer Kit 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/cleaning-products/muc-off-pressure-washer-kit-2019/) - For those of us in the northern hemisphere, it’s getting to that time of year where inevitably most rides out seem to result in coming back home to a bike that’s doubled in weight through the sheer amount of mud you’ve picked up along the way. That’s where this new bike-specific pressure washer from Muc Off comes in, a quick, easy way to keep on top of your bike cleaning and to help keep your steed looking as clean as possible. Key Features We tested the full Muc Off Pressure Washer kit, which includes the following; the Pressure Washer itself, a handy waterproof storage bag, a snow foam lance plus 2 bottles of Muc Off, 1 ready to go and 1 bottle of concentrate. With a retail price in the UK of £119.99 for the full kit, the price is competitive for what’s included. The pressure washer itself is specifically...
- [MRP Ribbon SL 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/forks/mrp-ribbon-sl-2019/) - Described by MRP as an Endurance XC/Trail fork, the Ribbon SL expands on their successful Ribbon fork and takes the fight to the world of short travel trail bikes. MRPs lighter weight short travel fork, up till now, has been the Loop which offers suspension in a weight-conscious package. The Ribbon, by contrast with its 35mm stanchions, was previously reserved for more burly riding and longer travel bikes but was still internally adjustable to lower travel. Much like Fox and their Step-Cast 34 fork, for the SL model they've dropped the travel on their more burly fork and shed a bunch of weight to offer a modern XC/Trail fork. Weight saving is achieved simply through shorter stanchions and damper/air rods combined with a lower oil volume and a bolt through rather than quick-release axle. A simple but effective process to get the weight down but then limits the travel to...
- [Hayes Components Dominion A4 Brake 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/brakes/hayes-components-dominion-a4-brake-2019/) - I’ll be honest, the last time I rode a bike with Hayes brakes was probably back in the early 2000s on the original Hayes HFX9’s (remember those?) and while famous for being incredibly reliable, their braking performance and feel could be best described as, well, wooden. Fast forward the years and Hayes have started from the ground up with the Dominion line of hydraulic disc brakes, with the Dominion A4 here on test aimed at the enduro end of the market. Priced at $229 for each end, they definitely come in at the more premium price point, but do they have premium performance to back that up? Key Features What self-respecting brake for Enduro use would only feature 2 pistons? That’s why Hayes has gone with a 4-pot design to help increase modulation as well as power. Hayes claims that the Dominion’s master cylinder is factory tuned for the shortest...
- [YT Industries Decoy CF Pro Race 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/yt-industries-decoy-cf-pro-race-2019/) - YT have entered the e-bike game this year with their take on the ultimate powered mountain bike. Named the Decoy it has to be assumed they wanted to make the motor elements of the bike as subtle as possible and as such they've created a rather sleek looking machine. The fundamentals of the bike are a little different from what could be considered 'normal'. Firstly they're running a mixed wheel size, so a 29er wheel up front and 650b outback. This, in theory, gives good precision and 'roll-over' from the front but allows a stronger and bigger traction patch on the back. Although 650b outback, it is 2.8” tyre so the actual diameters are similar. The Decoy is based around Shimano's e8000 motor but rather than using Shimano's 500Wh battery they've got their own 540Wh battery which is quirky, but you do get nearly 10% more power. With three models...
- [Merida Bikes eONE-FORTY 9000 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/merida-bikes-eone-forty-9000-2020/) - It's fair to say Merida’s eONE-SIXTY was a massive success for the brand when it was launched. E-bikes were still finding their way in the world and the bike managed to provide riders with a brilliant ride that rode like a normal bike. Fast-forward to the present day and Merida has introduced both a new eONE-SIXTY and an eONE-FORTY. Based around the previous frame, and using the same rear end, the two bikes have a different shock and fork which creates the travel difference and they're specced to reflect their intended use. The eONE-FORTY has 140mm of travel and is firmly in the trail bike category whilst the longer travel version is certainly more enduro. So, 140mm travel, a 66.5-degree head angle and 440mm chainstays give the ingredients for an all-round trail bike. Sizing is best measured in reach numbers, which range from 410mm to 490mm and combined with short...
- [Marin Bikes Alpine Trail 8 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/marin-bikes-alpine-trail-8-2019/) - It's with great sadness that my Alpine Trail is returning to Marin, having provided me with a fantastic bike for the year and a sturdy testbed for numerous parts. The Alpine Trail 8 sits one above the 7 and is the top model but still relatively amenable on the wallet. Although it was tested initially as spec, it has been through multiple iterations over the past 9 months and taken it all in its stride. Geometry I'm now firmly a 500mm and above reach guy. Anyone who tells me that their latest XXL is under 500mm has not got their sizing right. The Alpine comes in just shy of that, but that's as big as they go, unfortunately. However, a brief look at the 2020 Rift Zone shows Marin moving in the right direction and the new sizing should hopefully make it's way into future versions on the Alpine Trail...
- [Kona Bikes Process 134 DL 29 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/kona-bikes-process-134-dl-29-2020/) - There are very few bikes I wish I had bought, but the Process 111 from about 4 years ago has to be one of them. A bike way ahead of its time, it combined short travel with big bike numbers to create a unique and amazing ride. The 111 was forgotten about and Kona continued with the long travel Process to good effect, also offering the 134 as a shorter travel sibling. 2020 sees a new version of the 134, and before it was launched I was still hoping it would be a 111, however, I was told this new version still owes plenty to the original 111, so I was certainly keen to spend some time with it. The Process 134 gives 134mm of rear travel and is matched with a 140mm Pike upfront. Those numbers give the groundwork for a competent trail bike but the geometry also suggests...

- [ION Products Rascal Select 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/clothing/shoes/ion-products-rascal-select-2019/) - ION has long been providing riders with high-quality clothing and I more recent years have offered a gradually increasing range of shoes. Both flats and clips are catered for and I've had some good results with their Raid Amp flat shoes. Since I've been riding more XC this year I've been a little bit more clipped in than normal and as such looked for a shoe that could cut it on the new wave of rad XC bikes. The Rascal is IONs clipless shoe and comes in either the 'Select' version that I have here or the standard version. The Select version gets a reinforced shank, kevlar uppers and a neoprene cuff. Essentially this is IONs top-end trail shoe with 'uncompromising power transmission' and a bunch of cool features and high tech materials. Most notably is the Serpen_Tie 2.0 which is an additional strap across the shoe to hold the...
- [Hutchinson Bicycle Tires Griffus 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/tyres/hutchinson-bicycle-tires-griffus-2019/) - There was a time that most bikes on the trails would be shod in one of two or three brands of rubber, but we're well past that now with a plethora of brands and models to choose from. Hutchinson has aimed to produce a tyre for every type of hardpack and dry conditions imaginable. As they would say 'Dust, rocks, roots. nothing can resist the Griffus'. Coming in both 2.4 and 2.5, the Griffus has clearly had a design brief to work in the dry, but a quick look at the tread pattern shows it's going to be a pretty good all-round tyre. The 2.4 is faster rolling with a lower profile to the knobs and can be used as a front or rear depending on rider needs. The 2.5 version is not only wider but features larger knobs and a more spaced pattern to provide more bite. Again the...
- [OneUp Components Aluminium Pedal 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/pedals/oneup-components-aluminium-pedal-2019/) - OneUp, know for making products that shake things up a bit and illicit thoughts of 'I wish I'd thought of that', now have a pretty large range of products. One of their more 'standard' products is their flat pedal which offers up grip, reliability and innovation in a fine-looking package. At 115mm by 105mm, they offer up a large platform for one's feet, and the use of large 'inboard' bearing keep them super thin at 8mm. They have a slightly convex shape to match the curve of your foot and feature 10 pins to keep them in place. Despite being a more 'standard' product from OneUp, they feature a cool cassette tool lock ring to re-grease bearings and make servicing quick and easy. The somewhat unimaginatively named 'Aluminium Pedal' comes in at $125, weigh 365g and there are seven colours to choose from! On The Trail I'll state early on...
- [Dirtlej Dirtsuit Pro Edition 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/clothing/jackets/dirtlej-dirtsuit-pro-edition-2019/) - Dirtlej were the first bike 'suit' brand I became aware of, offering what appeared to be a waterproof onesie that appeared to be a cross between a set of biking kit and a hazmat suit. Roll on a few wet winters and Dirtlej now have a range of five suits to, er, suit any rider. There is now Classic, Pro, Core, Light and SFD versions of the suit depending on the application. Classic, Pro and Light are all short versions, i.e. the bottom half is 'shorts' length rather than the full leg. The Core and SFD are long legged versions with zip-off lower leg option. The Core is their main full suit whilst the SFD stands for 'Straight F***ing Down' and is bike park approved with space for pads and a more robust material. Where the Light edition is obviously parred down at 390g, the Core and Pro are more...
- [Tannus Armour 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/tyres/tannus-armour-2019/) - While the world may have gone tubeless, Tannus aim to convince us that it may not be the only way to get reliable puncture protection in your wheels. Working with inner tubes, the Tannus inserts wrap around the tube giving a thick layer of foam at the top, thinning as they wrap around towards the rim of the wheel. They aim to prevent flats, both pinch and otherwise by providing padding when the tube is pressed between the rim and the tyre in an impact. The thicker foam under the tyre tread also prevents punctures from sharp objects and can be stabbed, putting a hole in the tyre without damaging the tube. The insert also absorbs bumps and vibrations from the trail leading to a smoother ride and being able to run lower pressures can increase grip. On the Trail Installation is easy to understand, and relatively straightforward to execute....
- [RockShox SID Ultimate 2020](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/forks/rockshox-sid-ultimate-2020/) - Synonymous with XC racing, the SID has been getting riders on podiums for as long as I can remember and this latest version is certainly continuing the tradition. For 2020 models RockShox has introduced the new Ultimate versions of its forks. These represent the highest level of technology in the range in each of the chassis available i.e. Pike, Lyric, Boxxer and of course, the SID. The SID is RockShox' XC race fork and this latest edition aims to meet the demands of the hardest and most technical World Cup courses. Based around 32mm stanchions, the SID is available in 100mm and 120mm options in both wheel sizes (boost axles throughout). While the other forks in the Ultimate range get the Charger 2.1 damper, the SID gets the Charger 2 damper, the model here getting the RLC (rebound, Lockout and Low-speed compression) version. The air spring is courtesy of a...
- [Camber](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/skills/camber/) - Save the anger and conquer the camber Welcome back folks and thank you for joining us in the continuation of our skills and technique features, we now move on from the basic core skills covered in the previous issues, and we start to ramp it up with trail technicality as we look at progressing those core skills and techniques. As trail technicality increases we need to be more pinpoint and razor-sharp with our technique and timings, speed is what it is in a section, and by being relaxed, we can sometimes get away with being a bit sloppy with our wheel placement. That said errors for margin may be as little as zero and it is at these key pinch points and crux zones that it all has to come together just so. Camber often plays a significant role in these scenarios, and we ride in an environment where camber...
- [Ortlieb Atrack BP 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/hydration-packs-bags/ortlieb-atrack-bp-2019/) - Ortlieb is known as a manufacturer of the highest quality waterproof bags and kit for outdoor enthusiasts. They've been producing bags for bikes for as long as I can remember, usually in the pannier style or bar bag type. As bikepacking has become a thing, their bags have evolved to fit in more and more places on modern mountain bikes, but this is their first specific backpack for such endeavours. Simply put, the Atrack BP is a 25 litre fully waterproof pack, which is accessed by a full-length zip between the shoulder straps. There are numerous external straps to keep the contents tight against your back and attach any other kit to the outside. Two side pockets give quick access and inside the main compartment are two fold-out fabric organisers which take small kit and ease organisation. In addition to this inside, there is a key clip, compression strap and...
- [Magura MT7 PRO 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/brakes/magura-mt7-pro-2019/) - Magura has always offered a wide range of braking solutions for your bike, ranging from lever shapes to piston combinations, brake pads to colour options. Modular adjustability is the key for Magura and their #Customiseyourbrake system allows riders all the choices to make their brake ideal for them. For me, I was after power, and if you want 4 pot front and rear then it's the MT7s that fit the bill. Good enough for Bruni, so probably enough power for me! If you fancy 4 pot at the front and 2 at the back, that's an option, as is 2 pot front and rear, although these are different models from the MT7. Rotor choices are also available, whether that's centre lock or 6 bolt, and also the size, ranging from 160 to 203mm. Magura offers the Strom SL.2 rotor in smaller sizes and saves some weight over the Storm HC...
- [Leatt DBX 5.5 Neck Brace 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/body-armour/leatt-dbx-5-5-neck-brace-2019/) - Leatt is synonymous with the Neck Brace. So much so that it's easy to forget they make a wealth of other mountain bike and motorbike products. With few companies making them, Leatt is certainly at the top of their game and their kit can be found around the necks of plenty of high profile downhill racers. The neck brace's popularity has varied over the years and in some periods of downhill, it was part of the uniform, whereas now there is a big mix of those who do, and those who don't. Leatt's wealth of research suggests that no doubt wearing one is safer than not, and it can prevent serious life-altering injuries from occurring. The DBX 5.5 sits in the middle of the neck brace range with the 3.5 sitting below and the 6.5 being a carbon version. Made of reinforced polyamide, the brace prevents extremes of motion of...
- [SR Suntour AXON-WERX34 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/forks/sr-suntour-axon-werx34-2019/) - XC has become more demanding both technically and physically and races are no longer won solely on the climbs and technical descending is becoming more prevalent. Suntour has risen to this challenge of creating the ultimate XC fork with the Axon Werx 34. Offering 34mm stanchions in a super lightweight package, and with it, the Axon aims to not compromise on weight, stiffness or performance. The Axon range has been Suntours XC fork for some time and the Axon Werx 34 sees this fork bumped up to larger stanchions in response to more demanding tracks. The Werx model is their top-end fork and is available in 100/110/120mm options in both wheel sizes. Most notably it features a Carbon hollow crown and steerer, which keeps the weight down and is a real statement that this is a high-end fork. Internally the Axon Werx uses their EQ (Equalizer) system to make sure...
- [Fox Racing Shox Step Cast 34 Factory 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/forks/fox-racing-shox-step-cast-34-factory-2019/) - The Step-Cast 34 is the offspring of Fox’s super light Step-Cast 32 fork and their trail/all-rounder 34. Taking the 34mm stanchions of the trail fork, Fox has dropped the travel to 120mm and redesigned the lowers to shave all the weight they can without sacrificing stiffness. This leads to a 120mm fork that is as stiff as the 34 140mm fork but has the weight saving of 0.23kg. So as far as modern XC forks go, this is one serious piece of kit, where there is very little compromise other than the price, which at £1,119.00 will help you go even faster as your wallet will be that much lighter! If weight is your ultimate goal then the Step-Cast 32s will see you right, or if you need longer travel (130 and above) trail performance then the standard 34 range takes you right up into big travel fun. The 34...
- [DMR Bikes SECT 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/hard-tails/dmr-bikes-sect-2019/) - DMR was born from the world of dirt jumps and messing about in the woods. Recent bike releases like the Trailstar and the Sled represent how far DMR has come over the past couple of decades however the Sect bridges the gap between old school and new school with a modern steel hardtail for dirt jumps, pumptracks and skatepark fun. The Sect is their hardtail jump bike, which for 2019 we see packaged up in a wallet-friendly format for those looking to dip a toe into the delights pumptracks and beyond. Based around the classic Sect frame in 26inch wheels, the steel chassis (4130 Chromoly) features a short 390mm backend and a 69-degree head angle packaged together into a 420mm reach. It\'s only one size but this number should fit a fairly wide range of riders. Other frame features include a threaded bottom bracket which is always a pleasure to...
- [Radon Swoop 8.0 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/radon-swoop-8-0-2019/) - The Swoop is Radon’s 29 inch wheeled enduro bike, designed primarily for hitting big things, fast! There’s a range of 3 models with some rather tasty prices too – this entry-level (if we can even call it that!) Swoop 8.0 on test comes in at just 2499 Euros for the full bike, which is considerably cheaper than many manufacturers frame-only prices. So, just because it’s cheap, doesn’t that mean it’s not as good? Well in short, no. Far from it. The Swoop 8.0 might be the entry-level Swoop in the range but it’s hard to find fault with the level of kit for this money. 170mm of RockShox suspension graces each end of the bike, with the dependable Lyrik RC2 fork on the front and a Monarch Plus RC3 Debonair handling damping duties outback. A Shimano 11 speed drivetrain gives the go and the Magura MT5 brakes handle the stopping...
- [Pivot Cycles Mach 4SL 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/xc-bikes/pivot-cycles-mach-4sl-2019/) - There is a lot of hype surrounding the new wave of XC bikes that have arrived in the last twelve months. These short travel, lightweight and capable bikes may yet spawn their own genre but for the time being, we are seeing a response to more taxing World Cup courses and the application of kit that can be both light and strong. Pivot launches their new Mach 4 SL, which is their unapologetically race-focused machine with 100mm of travel. The layout is different, but the DW link remains and it's brought right in line with the current Pivot sizing spectrum. The builds available on the Mach 4 SL are many, but they range from full-xc focussed race setups with a fixed post (remember them?) and 100mm fork to marginally more relaxed approach with a dropper and a 120mm step cast fork. In our case, we have the latter end of...
- [Five Of the Best - Whistler Trails Beyond the Bike Park](https://www.imbikemag.com/articles/issue59/five-of-the-best-whistler-trails-beyond-the-bike-park/) - Whistler may be famous for its bike park, but there is a huge quantity of riding beyond the confines of the lift-accessed zones. We take a look at arguably five of the best areas and trails to turn the adventure up and leave the park!

- [Topeak Ninja Master Cage and Tool 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/tools/topeak-ninja-master-cage-and-tool-2019/) - Topeaks Ninja series is another product designed to get more kit on your bike and less stuff on your back. A bottle cage and integrated case mean you can carry both water and tools simply and easily on your frame. The Ninja Master Cage X1 here features two tyres levers discreetly attached to the sides and a Ninja QuickClick mount on the base to attach a range of additional equipment. For this test, we used the Ninja Master Toolbox T20 twenty and the Ninja Master CO2 Fuel Pack. This set up gives the option of carrying either the tool, or the Co2 pack, but with two cages then obviously both can be accommodated. Both attachment press, then twist ninety degrees to lock into place on the base of the cage. The Master Cage is £14.99, the CO2 pack is £36.99 and the Master Toolbox and tool is £41.99. You can...

- [Marin Bikes Mount Vision 9 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/marin-bikes-mount-vision-9-2019/) - Marin returns once more with a Naild equipped bike aiming to create the ultimate trail bike. Marin now has two R3ACT - 2 Play bikes in the range: the Wolf Ridge, which is a 160mm fast and light trail bike; and the Mount Vision we have here, a 150mm do-it-all trail bike for harder hitting applications. That's right, travel no longer dictates application for a bike, so the shorter travel Mount Vision, in this instance, is the burlier bike. It’s a full carbon, unapologetically expensive superbike designed to be everything you could want from a mountain bike. 150mm travel front and rear is delivered by a Fox 36 up front and an X2, via the Naild suspension, at the rear end. Essentially the R3ACT - 2 Play system is a single pivot on a slider, which gives exceptional pedalling characteristics without compromising on sensitivity or plush travel. The frame is...
- [Schwalbe Eddy Current 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/tyres/schwalbe-eddy-current-2019/) - E-bikes and tyres have had a rocky relationship so far in the development of this new genre of cycling. Plus tyres were deemed appropriate due to the increased traction, but wholly failed to deliver the durability demanded by electric mountain bikes. Those who demanded more durability from tyres went in search of downhill or gravity casings, yet what if an e-bike tyre could be designed specifically for the job? Schwalbes Eddy Current is the first properly dedicated e-MTB tyre aiming to claim this sector of the market. Available in 27.5 and 29, it has a front and rear specific tread and comes in 2.8 inches ( 27.5), and 2.4/2.6 inch options (29er). Construction The Currents use Schwalbe's 'Addix Soft' compound, which is identified with the red stripe on the tyre; Ultra Soft isn't available presumably as it would wear out too fast. They also feature their Super Gravity casing, which...
- [Lezyne MEGA C GPS 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/watches/lezyne-mega-c-gps-2019/) - The world of bike computers has moved on beyond recognition from the early days of magnets on spokes and wires running up forks. These days my phone has replaced any sort of computer or GPS on the bike and using Strava and some mapping software together I have a pretty good setup. However, it does live in my pocket and doesn't give me very accurate on-the-fly data. Therefore, enter the Mega C GPS, a device to convince me that bar mounted GPS systems can be simple, effective and user-friendly. The MEGA C has a 2.2-inch colour display and uses this to show colourful displays or numbers and data. What is clever, is that is pairs to your phone with the Ally V2 App which allows for the processing power of your smartphone to be channelled through the GPS. This means routes can be planned on the app and then navigation...
- [Lezyne Flow Storage Cage 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/tools/lezyne-flow-storage-cage-2019/) - Carrying tools somewhere other than a bag is now a viable option thanks to numerous on-the-bike stashing options. Lezyne, known for their high-quality tools and pumps have their solution to bagless riding in the form of the Flow Storage Cage. Consisting of a bottle cage with tool case, the Flow Storage Cage houses a V16 multitool, a Co2 head, some glueless patches and up to two CO2 canisters. The canisters strap to the outside of the cage in little neoprene jackets and the tool and extras fit into a plastic housing below the cage. The cage is available on its own or 'Loaded' with the tool and Co2 cartridges. The Tool The V16 is a classic Lezyne tool weighing in at 125g and features: Hex 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8mm Star Shaped T25, T30 Flat Head screwdriver Chain Breaker: (9/10/11/12 speed) Tire Lever Open end 10mm wrench Spoke...
- [iXS Sports Division Trigger AM Helmet 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/helmets/ixs-sports-division-trigger-am-helmet-2019/) - New for 2019 the Trigger AM is the latest trail and all-mountain lid from IXS and sits into the Trigger range alongside their new knee pads of the same name (review to follow soon). Based on the Trail RS helmet, they have built on that success to create this new helmet. As with any new helmet, claims are made of safety and comfort and this is backed up with their double in-mould shell technology which involves the EPS (expanded polystyrene foam) being moulded directly into the shell of the helmet. Comfort is covered with their ErgoFit Ultra system that is a lightweight cradle system to keep the helmet in place and aiming to keep your head cool. This is adjusted with a micro-dial adjustment on the back of the helmet which tightens up the whole system. The Trigger also has plenty of vents to keep you cool including huge front...

- [Julbo Eyewear Arise REACTIV Performance Glasses 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/glasses/julbo-eyewear-arise-reactiv-performance-glasses-2019/) - The Arise from Julbo may be marketed as an all-rounder, but it sits more than happily in the mountain bike zone. With adjustable legs, wide vision and venting around the lens the Arise ticks all the boxes for good cycling eyewear. The style is pretty neutral, definitely sporty, but not futuristic, and casual enough to have a coffee in without feeling like an extra from Battlestar Galactica. The Arise we have on test features Julbo’s REACTIV Performance lens and changes between CAT 0 and CAT 3 depending on light levels. This means they go from fully clear to dark. The lenses are constructed from NXT which is a cast plastic rather than injected and mimics glass as best as is currently possible. It's also lightweight and won't shatter like glass would, which is a bonus in a crash. The Reactiv dye is mixed throughout the lens, which means it cannot...
- [Leatt DBX 3.0 Enduro V19.1 Helmet 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/helmets/leatt-dbx-3-0-enduro-v19-1-helmet-2019/) - The Leatt DBX 3.0 Enduro Helmet is aimed, as you may have guessed, squarely at the enduro market, featuring a removable chin guard that even when attached, makes for a very lightweight helmet offering a good amount of protection. Key Features As you would imagine, this helmet complies to all standards (certified and tested: AS/NZS 2063:2008, EN1078, CPSC 1203). The lightweight design (weighing from 375 grams without the chin guard, and from 750 grams with the chin guard installed) makes it ideal for use on longer rides where you wouldn’t want to be slogging around in a full-face lid and the 23 vents do a good job of keeping you cool. One key thing to note is Leatt’s inclusion of their 360˚ Turbine Technology in this helmet which Leatt claim “reduces up to 30% of head impact at concussion levels and reduces up to 40% of rotational acceleration to the...
- [X-Fusion Trace 36 HLR 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/forks/x-fusion-trace-36-hlr-2019/) - X Fusion has quietly been producing suspension goods over the past decade. Hidden within their range have been some absolute gems and they continue to surprise with some impressive products. Their dropper post for one is an example of a great piece of kit. What's been missing for a while has been a long travel 29er fork and the Trace 36 is a welcome addition to the family. With 36mm stanchions (obviously, given the name) the Trace 36 HLR offers up to 170mm of travel in a burly enduro package. The Trace 36 HLR features their well-regarded Roughcut damper and has adjustable high and low-speed compression damping alongside low-speed rebound damping. The lower spec RC features the same chassis but with the 'RC' damper allowing only low-speed compression and rebound damping. The Roughcut damper uses a bladder-type system and allows for fully independent control of high and low-speed compression, the...
- [Motion Ride E-18 Linkage Forks 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/forks/motion-ride-e-18-linkage-forks-2019/) - Motion is a French company that has a slightly different approach to making suspension for mountain bikes. They decided that the standard telescopic fork, that we all know and love, isn't quite good enough. As a result they have developed the E18 Linkage fork. Now, the E18 fork is certainly striking, with multiple pivots and an entirely different set of mechanics from a telescopic fork. This design is certainly divisive, with many reacting strongly to the way it looks, while others (usually engineering types) are curiously engaged by the whole package. So, what's the point? Well, it's all about brake dive, the compression of your fork that occurs under braking, which changes the geometry of the bike and reduces the amount of travel available. The Motion E18 aims to remove brake dive and offer an entirely new way of delivering suspension. Based around a carbon leaf spring (they call it...
- [Marzocchi Bomber CR Coil Shock 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/rear-shocks/marzocchi-bomber-cr-coil-shock-2019/) - Last year Marzocchi launched their newly updated Bomber Z1 fork, offering riders the original Marzocchi style but brought up-to-date with some Fox internals. Top of their list was strength, reliability, and cost, with weight being less of a concern for them. The result was a stiff and responsive fork at a highly competitive price. Perhaps not surprisingly, Marzocchi decided to expand their suspension line up with a coil shock. Sharing DNA with the Fox Vanilla coil shocks of old, the Bomber CR Coil gives affordable coil bounce to the masses. And I say masses as it's available in a multitude of sizes and fittings, including trunnion, metric and non-metric. That's right, it's compatible with older bikes. Whatever happened to built-in obsolescence? So, it's a coil shock, with rebound adjustment only via a small dial, the coils need to be correct for rider weight and are available to purchase separately. For...
- [Ragley Bikes Big Wig 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/hard-tails/ragley-bikes-big-wig-2019/) - Ragley is back! After a short break they are back with a full range of bikes and have lost none of their hardtail swagger. With a range of models in both aluminium and steel, Ragley has all the bases covered with a hardtail for everyone. The Blue Pig, Piglet, and Big Wig represent the steel side of the family, each with an aluminium counterpart if that's more your thing. Early adopters of the long and slack mantra, Ragley have been pushing boundaries since they began and it looks like the latest range is no exception. Here we have the Big Wig, Ragley’s steel, 130mm forked, 29er. As expected the numbers add up to something fairly typical of a hardcore hardtail from a British brand, but not quite as wild as you might expect. Starting up the front we have 65 degree head angle onto which is strapped the 130mm fork,...
- [Pole Bicycles Machine 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/pole-bicycles-machine-2019/) - Pole is a Finnish company that have been causing quite a stir in the world of geometry and bike manufacturing. Initially making waves with truly progressive geometry, they went on to experiment with carbon before scrapping that idea and heading into the world of machining and glue. Unafraid to try something new and different, Pole went ahead and created the Machine, their first bike developed with their new manufacturing technique. Two halves of the frame are machined from 7075 aluminium, these are then glued and bolted together. This method gives a unique finish to the frame and allows them to create a light, stiff and strong structure made at home in Finland. The numbers on the Machine are fairly wild by current standards, and rather than waiting for incremental increases year on year, Pole has jumped forward in time to deliver what they think is the best set of figures....
- [CUBE Bikes AMS 100 C:68 TM 29 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/xc-bikes/cube-bikes-ams-100-c68-tm-29-2019/) - There is a trend developing which is somewhat at odds with the gravity fed world of enduro and downhill. Recent history has seen the proliferation of exceptionally capable bikes which can be winched back to the top of a hill time and time again, but what happens if rather than making downhill bikes climb better, you make an XC bike descend better? Tucked away in the Cube website lives the AMS 100 TM, not a bike you may have heard of, and not one that has been shouted about much. Their Stereo range is usually where the average mountain biker is drawn to with trail bikes and enduro bikes. The AMS range is their XC line up and until now has been purely for the racers and the Lycra-wearing whippets. Taking their XC frame, they've ramped up the trail and descending performance potential with some precise component choices. The 100mm...
- [Jumps](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/skills/jumps/) - Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin... Welcome and welcome back fellow readers for yet another Hip Hop (hopefully not Hip Op) inspired skills session. Join us in avoiding the ‘house of pain’ as we Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)... Yep, you guessed correctly, it’s a jump fest as we spring into summer, so let’s get to it. We’ve pumped, we’ve dropped and now it is time to fly, from small undulations to purpose-built features there are a multitude of opportunities to get air under your wheels when we move away from riding easy tracks and trails and start hitting some of the more technical terrain. If you have ever watched the fail compilation videos then you will see that jumps are one area where riders can often get it very wrong. From being too stiff and rigid on the bike to misjudging speed and distance, a...
- [Cannondale Bicycles Habit 2 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/cannondale-bicycles-habit-2-2019/) - Cannondale has undergone somewhat of a transformation of late. New riders, new style and new bikes, most notably the acquisition of Rat Boy and the latest incarnation of the Habit. Usually renowned for one-sided forks and quirky technology, they clearly have moved on from old habits in more ways than one. No Lefty, no switches and no special shock, this is an exceptionally normal looking bike. 130mm front and rear (you get 140mm forks on the Habit 1 for some reason) delivered by a rather familiar looking Horst Link. The angles suggest a thoroughly modern trail bike with a long 490 reach on the XL and a 66 head angle. The 435mm chainstays are middle of the road, and it's all pretty standard stuff. Seat tube length is slightly long, with 520mm on the XL, meaning sizing up is out of the question for most and rules out an extra...

- [CUBE Bikes Hyde Race 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/hybrid-bikes/cube-bikes-hyde-race-2019/) - A bit of an odd bike for an MTB magazine you might say, but bear with us, and of course the N+1 rule always applies. When Rou broke his leg and ankle, last year biking was off the cards, however as soon as he felt he could ride a bike again the urge was to stick to the roads, rather than risk another crash off road while he was still healing. Enter the Cube Hyde Race; if you don’t want to be a roadie, and wear all the Lycra and paraphernalia that goes with it, a hybrid bike is just the ticket. Equally, if you want a town bike that feels and rides like a nippy XC bike this ride fits the bill perfectly. Finally, you’ll notice the Shimano Alfine and Gates Carbon Drive, this chainless system offers you 8-speed shifting with a range of over 300%, plenty for most...
- [Greyp Bikes G6.2 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/greyp-bikes-g6-2-2019/) - It’s not often you get to go to Croatia, but that was the location for the launch of Greyp’s new G6. Greyp is part of the famous car company Rimac, launched by Mate Rimac in 2006 they have a large operation in Croatia specialising in electric vehicles. From hydrofoil boats to supercars and everything in between Mate and the team at Rimac and Greyp have extensive knowledge of all things EV. To give you an idea of what they are capable of, every single component of the Rimac Concept One supercar and soon to be launched C Two hypercar is built and assembled on site in Croatia. We were treated to a tour of the factory by Mate himself, and it was impressive, to say the least. Greyp as a project has been around for a long time, Zvonimir Sučić was working on electric bikes before he met Mate and...
- [Merida Bikes eONE-SIXTY M#RIDA 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/merida-bikes-eone-sixty-mrida-2019/) - Having spent time on the 900e model last year, it was clear that Merida had a particularly strong grasp on the ebike market with a fantastic bike. The major issue for myself was that their sizing only went up to large. Roll into 2019 and low and behold we have an XL eONE-SIXTY, and I really wanted to spend some time on it. Rather than the higher spec model, this year I was aboard the M#RIDA model, which although cheaper, is still a great build. With Rockshox covering the bounce using a Lyric RC and a Super Deluxe R, the bike floats on some fine suspension. The motor is the tried and tested Shimano E8000 but has the new low profile control on the handlebar rather than the Di2 inspired shifter. The wheels are 650b plus and run Maxxis Minions in 2.8 sizes, and these are strapped to a set...

- [SRAM MTB NX Eagle Drivetrain 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/drivetrain/sram-mtb-nx-eagle-drivetrain-2019/) - It feels like only yesterday that the Eagle first landed amidst cries of derision that nobody needed 12 gears and that 50t cassettes were ridiculous. At the time the price was pretty ridiculous too, perhaps similar to the latest release of AXS, but over a pretty short period of time, the Eagle has landed at progressively lower price points. The time has come for Eagle to hit the 'NX' level and with it, has brought wide range gearing to the masses. No longer the preserve of the pro racer, 12 speed is now accessible, and with the sheer number of bikes coming with NX Eagle onboard, the masses are clearly loving it. So, for those of you living under a rock, Eagle gives us 12 gears up to 50 teeth and is a single ring only set up. Essentially, you have all the gears you need but with less faff...
- [Leatt Velocity 6.5 goggles 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/goggles/leatt-velocity-6-5-goggles-2019/) - Leatt is currently on a roll at the moment having released a fantastic line-up of apparel, along with the brilliant DBX 3.0 Enduro helmet. New to their product range are these – the newly released Leatt Velocity 6.5 goggles which I have been fortunate enough to have been testing for the last couple of months. So, where to start? Well, let’s start with the obvious! Firstly, I think they look fantastic, with 13 different colour combinations too then you’ll surely be able to match them up with whatever gear you ride in. Not only that, Leatt provide quite the package too. Included with every pair of goggles is a tear-off pack as well as an optional nose clip that simply slots into the base of the goggle to offer extra protection. The goggles themselves feature a chunky, silicon-backed strap as well as some pretty hefty looking outriggers at the front....
- [Lake Cycling MX241 Endurance 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/clothing/shoes/lake-cycling-mx241-endurance-2019/) - Lake has been making shoes for a long time, they are one of those brands synonymous with one product, and that is cycling shoes. Furthermore, they are intensely focused on fit and having developed their craft over the years, Lake is keen to make sure riders have the best fitting shoes possible. Choosing shoes by the 'Last' shape is the start, a last being essentially the mould on which a shoe is shaped around. With Comfort, Sport, Competition and Race lasts, each with their own defining shape, riders can choose a shoe that best fits them and their intentions. Variations in the toe box, width and heel shape all change how the shoe will fit a certain foot. Lakes range extended over road, cyclocross and mountain biking, but many of their shoes share technology across the models. The MX241 Endurance shoe uses all of Lakes technology to create the ultimate...
- [Hope Technology Carbon Bar and AM/Freeride Stem 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/hope-technology-carbon-bar-and-am-freeride-stem-2019/) - Hope has been pushing into new territory over the past few years, experimenting with new materials and new products. Not only have they got their heads around carbon manufacturing, but also they've made entire bikes from it, and all this designed, tested and manufactured in Barnoldswick, UK. As well as bike creation, they've been busy making their carbon handlebars, which we have here. Aptly named, the 'Carbon Handlebar' takes Hopes reputation and hangs it from a shapely and refined piece of carbon. Measuring up at 780mm wide and with a 31.8mm clamp, these bars will suit many riders. With 7 degrees back sweep and 5 degrees upsweep, they are reasonably 'straight' and feature a 20mm rise. All this comes in at 225g and these are the only numbers you need to know as this is the only option available. The bars are instantly recognisable due to the bulging nature of...
- [BOX Components Box 2 Drivetrain 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/drivetrain/box-components-box-2-drivetrain-2019/) - The man behind Box Components, Toby Henderson, became a racing legend on downhill bikes and BMX’s and is now well on track to legendary status in the world of bike components. Still a fairly small and fresh company, Box isn’t afraid to take on some formidable competition and are impressively confident that there is room for a third player in the drivetrain game. Taking on the dominant duo of SRAM and Shimano in a patent filled minefield is an admirable move for sure. After a respectable first effort with the Box One derailleur and shifter combo, it hasn’t taken them long to hit back after what must have been a steep learning curve with an affordable 11-speed drivetrain, the Box Two. At a price point of $269.99 for the 11-46 cassette with derailleur, shifter and chain, the Box Two drivetrain package sits somewhere close the SRAM NX and Shimano SLX...
- [Haibike XDURO AllMtn 3.0 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/haibike-xduro-allmtn-3-0-2019/) - Haibike is an eMTB specific brand founded in Germany, which has been banging the eBike drum since 1995, long before some modern bike brands even had their first ‘traditional’ bikes out the front door. The XDURO AllMtn 3.0 fills the slot between Trail and Enduro bike in the rich and varied menu of Haibike’s offering. Packing 150mm of rear travel, a 160mm Rockshox Yari fork, and rolling on 27.5” wheels the XDURO AllMtn 3.0 cuts an interesting silhouette, which may not be to everyone’s taste. The geometry certainly leans towards this being a trail bike over and above the suggestions from the fairly hefty travel numbers and the AllMtn tag. A 66-degree head angle is firmly in modern trail bike territory while the seat angle sits at a fraction over 75 degrees to aid pedalling efficiency on the climbs. 465mm chainstays put the rear wheel far back enough that climbing...
- [Ghost Bikes FR AMR 8.7 AL 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/ghost-bikes-fr-amr-8-7-al-2019/) - 25-year-old Bavarian bike manufacturer Ghost Bikes has a diverse list of bikes aimed at those who love to ride hard, and their latest revamped FR AMR sits proudly at the top of the list. What we have here is a mini-DH bike, freeride park toy and enduro weapon all rolled into one. The frame has been revised from its predecessor by using additional bracing and bigger tube cross sections to create a significantly stiffer rear end. This yellow rig is the 8.7, which offers the highest spec of the 3 in the range. All models are built around a fairly heavy aluminium frame and show their intent by sporting 165mm coil shocks on the rear and 170mm forks up front. Each of the three build options also come with a chain-guide from E-Thirteen and a pair of Maxxis Minion 27.5″ DHF 2.5″ and DHR 2.4″ shoes, ready to race or...
- [Cornering - Round The Bend](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/skills/cornering-round-the-bend/) - Curvaceous, bodacious Have you a craving for carving cool curves and cruising through trails with uninterrupted flow? Well if so stay tuned and read on as we embark on a crusade of cornering bliss with this edition of our core technique. Demanding trails are filled with technical features, of which, some of the most innocuous can cause the most harm to our flow and flesh. Corner speed is everything for a racer who’s up against the clock and the same principals of efficiency and ‘flow’ are equally important to any rider, whether they are wanting to save thousands of a second or just hang onto their mates wheel there is huge saving or loss to be had in the turns. One of our biggest energy expulsions on the bike is when turning the cranks from zero; think of the fuel efficiency in a car. Combustion engines burn lots of fuel...

- [OneUp Components EDC Pump and Tool 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/tools/oneup-components-edc-pump-and-tool-2019/) - OneUp has been casually rolling out awesome solutions to mountain bikers looking to reduce the need for a pack and de-clutter their ride. The EDC (Every Day Carry) Tool system is an elegant solution to finding somewhere to stash tools and is offered in two different styles. One slides into your steerer tube while the other slides into a pump which is strapped to the frame of your bike. Due to the nature of testing, I swap bikes a lot, so the pump tool was my choice and saves threading your steerer tube (OneUp have recently launched a stem which negates the need to thread the steerer tube). The system features a high volume (100cc) pump which houses the tool system that slides inside and the valve doubles as a CO2 inflator. There is then a small multitool with 2,2.5,3,4,6,8mm hex, flat head screwdriver and t25 torx. This is neatly...

- [Kali Protectives Maya 2.0 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/helmets/kali-protectives-maya-2-0-2019/) - The Maya has been a long time favourite of mine as a do-it-all helmet for nearly every occasion. Bucking the Enduro trends it retains a classic trail helmet styling whilst maintaining a high level of safety that we have come to expect from Kali. This update to the original features minimal changes to the look and style but brings the safety technology up a notch. Crucially we see the addition of Kali's LDL technology, which is their Low-Density Layer and provides both increased protection from straight on hits and rotational forces. The soft rubber-like material deforms on impact in multiple directions allowing a greater range of impacts and directions to be absorbed. Kali suggests that this combination of the hard EPS foam (Composite Fusion Plus) and shell combined with the softer LDL system provides the best protection for your head. Other features on the Maya include the classic long visor,...
- [Endura MT500 Waterproof Suit 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/clothing/jackets/endura-mt500-waterproof-suit-2019/) - On the surface, it seems sensible, but it's taken a long time for the idea of a waterproof suit to finally become a reality in the mountain bike world. Last year seemed to be the year of the 'onesie' with several brands dropping their take on the ultimate wet weather outfit. Endura seemed a likely candidate for producing a good all-in-one suit for mountain bikers given their roots in Scotland and a track record of producing the functional waterproof kit, so here we have their evolution of their MT500 range, the MT500 Waterproof Suit. Essentially this is a set of waterproof trousers attached to a jacket along the rear of the waistband. You can, of course, buy MT500 trousers and jackets separately but the suit aims to eliminate the rear gap and keep everything warm and dry. The trousers also have removable lowers which convert them into shorts if the...
- [Spank Bikes Oozy Trail 780 Vibrocore Bar and Spike Race Stem 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/spank-bikes-oozy-trail-780-vibrocore-bar-and-spike-race-stem-2019/) - Spank's Vibrocore makes an appearance once again, but this time in the form of handlebars (where it was first used) rather than wheels. Having tested the wheels, I was keen to see what they would do to a set of alloy bars and if the foam filled inner would have a noticeable effect on comfort. The bars are pretty standard from the outside, hitting some good numbers with a 780 width and 5-degree up and 7-degree back-sweep. Inside is obviously where the magic happens and the foam inner adds very little weight while aiming to reduce the vibrations transferred to your hands. The Stem contains no Vibrocore foam but is a good match for the bars. The Spike stem, available in 35 or 50mm lengths keeps it all locked in place with a classic four bolt face plate. The stem is chunky and exudes strength with it's pronounced bolts and...
- [Renthal Fatbar Carbon 35 and Apex 35 Stem 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/renthal-fatbar-carbon-35-and-apex-35-stem-2019/) - Renthal is one of the big names in handlebars and few brands have established themselves as firmly in the cockpit game. Unique styling along with innovative stem clamps and high tech materials have really made them stand out from the crowd. The motocross heritage gives plenty of confidence that their products are more than up for the job when it comes to mountain bikes. The most recent update to their range is the Fatbar Carbon 35, which sees the Fatbar range extend and develop with the current trend and move to a 35mm clamp. Claimed as the ultimate downhill bar, managing to be strong enough for the toughest competition, yet weigh in only 225g. Using UD Carbon, the constriction method puts strength and stiffness where needed alongside flex to create the best blend for ultimate control. With plenty of rise options, getting the right fit is easy and the 5/7...
- [Chromag Fubar OSX 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/chromag-fubar-osx-2019/) - No stranger to pushing the limits on bikes, Chromag are manufacturers of some of the wildest hardtail mountain bikes on the planet. They also turn their hand at components too including the Fubar OSX and the Hi-Fi Stem that we have here. The OSX bar is an alloy, 31.8mm clamp bar coming in at 780mm width and a crowd-pleasing 5-degree up sweep and 8 degrees back sweep. Chromag suggest this is their most popular DH and Freeride bar, but coming in at 310g it can find it's home on bikes at the less extreme end of the spectrum. The Hi-Fi Stem continues in the hard-hitting style as a 3D forged piece designed for 'Ultimate control and performance'. It's a classic four-bolt faceplate design and comes in three lengths to get the perfect right. Fubar OSX Bar Width- 780mm Rise- 25mm Sweep- 5 degree up 8 degree back Clamp- 31.8mm Weight-...
- [Joystick Bicycle Components 8 Bit Alloy Bar and Binary Stem 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/joystick-bicycle-components-8-bit-alloy-bar-and-binary-stem-2019/) - Joystick, a brand with some of the finest graphics in the business make a range of components with an eye towards both style and hard-hitting riding. Their range of handlebars includes two carbon and two alloy bars, these ones being the 8 Bit Alloy Bar. Available in 3 different rises, and 800mm width, getting the right size will be pretty straightforward. Construction is from their own 8-Bit Alloy blend, which we can only assume is a secret recipe of the finest aluminium. Rated for everything from all mountain to slopestyle, there is nothing these bars can't do and suggest a bomb proof bar for every occasion. The numbers include a 9 degree back sweep which is more than some bars, putting your hands a bit further back, so considering stem length is important to get your hands where you want them. The stem is the Binary stem, and is available...
- [FUNN Full On Bar and Crossfire Stem 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/funn-full-on-bar-and-crossfire-stem-2019/) - Funn have been producing great bars and stem for ages, and always offer up something affordable and functional for those without a huge wedge of cash burning a hole in their pocket. The Full On bar is not going to blow anyone's mind with futuristic features but offers a reliable bar with some good numbers. 785mm is the width, which will suit all but the most ape-armed riders, and along with a 5.5 up and 8 degrees back sweep, it's in the middle range for bars. Available in two different rises, a myriad of colours and landing on the scales at 340g, there is little to complain about. The Crossfire Stem does a good job of punching above it's (figurative) weight and looks a very classy piece of kit. The weight is low, the length options are good and features a solid clamping system. Full On Bar Width- 785mm Rise-...
- [DMR Bikes Wingbar 35 and DEFY 35+ Stem 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/dmr-bikes-wingbar-35-and-defy-35-stem-2019/) - If ever a brand was to inspire confidence, then DMR would be the one. Born out of thrashing bikes in the woods, the components that come from DMR are certainly ones that can take some abuse. The Wingbar and Defy Stem combine to make a thoroughly modern cockpit which maintains their classic core values. The Wingbar is now available in 35mm and is a full 800mm with rise up to 35mm for those who want to keep the stack high on their bikes. With 5 degrees up and 8 degrees back sweep, the shape will be familiar to most and at 326g although not the lightest, aren't overly weighty. The Defy stem is striking in its looks, but provides a 5mm of rise and a low stack height which gives riders plenty of options for upping their bar height further if required. At 35mm in both clamp diameter and length...
- [Burgtec Ride Wide Enduro Alloy Bars 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/burgtec-ride-wide-enduro-alloy-bars-2019/) - Now it wouldn't be a cockpit test without some Burgtec in the mix for good measure. The bars of choice for none other than Ratboy himself (and the Santa Cruz Syndicate), his endorsement speaks volumes but you'd need more than a set of bars to get close to his skills. Big, burly and British, Burgtec 'aren't in it for the money' rather, they're here to make the best possible components, apparently. Here we have a set of Ride Wide Enduro bars and an MK2 stem. The bars are a full 800mm and come in 15 or 30mm rise, although there is now a Josh Bryceland option of 38mm rise if you want to get really high. With 5 degrees up and 9 back, they are a classic fit and despite their length come in at 300g. The Stem is a real Burgtec classic and identified easily from a glance across...
- [Carbon Cycles eXotic Super Wide Full Carbon Handlebar 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/carbon-cycles-exotic-super-wide-full-carbon-handlebar-2019/) - The eXotic Super Wide Full Carbon Riser is a fairly self-explanatory set of bars. It is indeed full carbon, and the Super Wide part refers to the options for the bar which go up to a whopping 840mm in 20mm jumps from 780mm. The options for four widths is where is ends, as each bar has the same 25mm rise, 8-degrees back and 5-degree upsweep with the clamp being 31.8 throughout. The bars, as mentioned are full carbon and finished with a clear coat so the fibres are visible. Having a website printed on the bar looks incongruous, but they hit the scales at 200g for my 780mm width and hit the wallet at only £58.29. Exotic they may not be, but wide, good value and light they certainly are. Width- 780mm (tested), 800,820,840mm Rise- 25mm Sweep- 5 degree up 8 degree back Clamp- 31.8mm Weight- 200g Material- Carbon On...
- [MET Helmets Eldar 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/helmets/met-helmets-eldar-2019/) - Kids mountain bike kit is getting better and better, and once mountain bikers produce offspring the first thing they look for (once they've adjusted to sleep deprivation) is what bike can they get for their child. With small mountain bikes getting very capable, it only seems appropriate that safety kit should be equally as capable. For Met, this is about making top quality mountain bike helmets for little people. The result is the Eldar, a great looking enduro inspired lid for those aspiring to mountain bike greatness, or simply need a decent helmet. Designed for young riders who are 'fearless and skilled', is how Met describes this, but I can guarantee it also works on children who are low on skill and mostly scared too. Met also suggest it's for those aspiring to the Enduro World Series, but it also works just great riding to the park. Features are simple...
- [O’Neal Pike Helmet 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/cleaning-products/oneal-pike-helmet-2017/) - With a rich history steeped in the world of motocross it’s no surprise to find that O’Neal’s range of mountain bike helmets have more than just a smattering of mx blended in to their mix. Strong graphics combine with in-your-face colours and big peaks to ensure wearers are in no doubt as to the pedigree of this legendary brand. The Pike is a helmet aimed at the broad spectrum of Enduro/Trail/Freeride, and as such has to satisfy the needs of each camp equally well by offering up a blend of lightweight design and high impact protection. As a result the Pike exceeds the EN1078 safety standard for bicycle helmets. An EPS inner is shrouded in a durable, high impact polycarbonate shell to aid longevity, and in lieu of a standard triclip there’s O’Neal’s own curious Fidlock® magnetic buckle to secure the lid to your head. In pursuit of sturdiness, O’Neal...
- [RockShox Lyrik RC2 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/forks/rockshox-lyrik-rc2-2019/) - The mighty Lyrik has been around long enough now to have a devout following of riders and racers who swear by its performance. This year Rock Shox dropped the next version of the classic, incorporating all that was new in suspension tech and of course, painting it red. Aimed firmly at the enduro crowd, the Lyrik aims to be for 'riders without limits' and it would be a fair assumption that most folks riding on a Lyrik will definitely struggle to find any sort of limit. But that shouldn't stop us mortals wanting the finer things in life, should it? The chassis remains pretty much unchanged for 2019 but the Lyrik is now offered in two offsets; 37mm and 46mm for 650b, and 42mm or 51mm for 29er. This offset allows for the fork to be matched to those frames, which have been designed around a shorter offset fork. Most...

- [Merida Bikes Mission 8000 CX 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/gravel-bikes/merida-bikes-mission-8000-cx-2019/) - Despite my go-to bikes always being long travel 29ers, I find myself endlessly intrigued by drop-bar bikes. Whether it's reminiscing about my early year's mountain biking, or just enjoying something different, my need for a gravel/cross/road-duro bike seems to continue to the point where I find life hard without one in the garage. For mountain bikers, a drop bar bike makes sense, it's good for fitness, skills, and with the right one, good for off-road adventures too. I have previously tested Merida’s Silex, which aims to be an all-around adventure machine that really needs a full beard and bar bags to get the most out of it. The Mission CX is less Gravel and firmly in the Cyclocross category, which means it's designed to race and conforms to the various rules from the UCI. So the Mission is a newly designed off-road-rocket and has taken a few cues from the...
- [Polygon Bikes Siskiu N9 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/polygon-bikes-siskiu-n9-2019/) - Relatively unseen in Europe, Polygon have flown under the radar somewhat but are beginning to show us what we’ve all been missing over here, with some bold designs and some exceedingly well-priced bikes that have begun to get the market’s attention. Being the owners of their own factories means that Polygon is able to build bikes at a range of very competitive price points. A quick scan of their vast mountain bike range hints at a brand with financial clout and a blinding array of models to back up their aspirations to spark the imagination of riders around the world. It’s perhaps no surprise that Polygon has gone hard with their Enduro bike offering, managing to pack in an eye-watering nine separate bikes into this category. Many will recall the striking looks of their futuristic XQUARONE range, with its NAILD R3ACT-2Play suspension system, but this is an entirely different beast....
- [Rose Bikes Elec Tec FS 2 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/rose-bikes-elec-tec-fs-2-2019/) - Rose wasn't early to the emtb party but now offer both a hardtail and a full suspension in their gradually increasing emtb range. The Elec Tec FS is the full suspension model and offers up 140mm of travel front and rear and comes in two specs; easily distinguished as the FS 1 and the FS 2 featured here. The geometry on paper suggests an ebike designed from the ground up rather than based on an existing mountain bike. The bottom bracket is kept high to avoid pedal strikes and the chainstays are long at 458mm to accommodate the motor but should improve steep climbing performance. The head angle sits at 66.5 which works well for a trail bike and the seat angle is 74 degrees, which is perhaps a little on the slack side from super modern trends. The drive system is Continental, who are getting into the ebike game...
- [Pivot Cycles Firebird 29 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/pivot-cycles-firebird-29-2019/) - Earlier this year, Pivot filled one of the last gaps in their range with the arrival of a long travel 29er. Previously, the Switchblade had been their most progressive big wheeler, but this still had trail bike tendencies and was an excellent ride in those scenarios but not in bigger terrain. Their biggest hitting non-DH bike was the Firebird, which delivers 170mm of travel in a mega enduro package but on 27.5 wheels, the progression was obvious. Combining both big wheels and big travel led to the birth of what should surely have been called the Fireblade but ended up with the slightly less catchy Firebird 29. The result is a thoroughly modern machine with big wheels and huge travel, capable of being all things to all riders. Light and nimble on the climbs yet descending like a downhill bike. So the Firebird 29 sports 170mm up front and 162mm...

As the name suggests, the Reset has been freshly designed and crafted from scratch with a focus on making it a highlight of the new range. Out of the box, the Reset immediately impressed with its contemporary, sharp design combined with a lightweight feel (1100g in Medium) and certainly gives the first impression of a helmet that might cost far more than it does. Retailing for 99 Euros on their website, the Reset is making itself available to a massive audience. There are four snazzy colours to choose from, and we’ve been testing the ‘Tropic Orange’, which has a light metallic gold finish with orange accents and a nice arty tropical flower design on the back.

Available in up to 200mm drop it is one of the longest dropper posts on the market. That said, it also has options down to 75mm for those who need only a frugal amount of travel. This version is the 175mm drop Fall Line with a Digit remote for 1 by drivetrains, but there is also the ThumB lever for use with a front shifter and even a Trigger lever that is shaped like a brake lever. The internals use 9point8’s Droploc technology which allows for infinite variability in height between top and bottom. 31.6 and 30.9 options are available and plenty of drop options are available with shims. Installation Installation was pretty straightforward with the cable end hooking into the bottom of the post then tensioned and clamped at the lever. Previous versions of...
- [Drop and Roll](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/skills/drop-and-roll/) - Welcome to another instalment of our core skills and techniques feature, and as we enter autumn here in the UK it's time to tackle the subject of drop-offs. Dropping and jumping are two areas where the penalty for failure can be life-changing. When it goes wrong the classic outcome is an OTB (over the bars), here the typical reaction is to protect the face and head by throwing the arms out, and the extremities take the beating. Broken wrists, forearms, collar bones, shoulders etcetera are all symptoms of an OTB. The worst-case scenarios occur when the arms are not there to absorb a fall, and the rider takes the impact directly to the head. So how can we prevent an OTB and take drops safe and in style? First up let's look at the various drop-off types, from large sender drops to small rolling drops I consider any section of...

Previously overlooked by many riders, TRP has come back into the mix and have been getting lots of attention, mostly due to the Gwin influence but also from brands starting to spec them on lower end bikes. There are plenty of subtle details that Gwin has specced for his signature model, but the overall appearance of the brake is less than subtle. The levers are very moto-inspired, longer than average, with a pitted finger grip for added security in the slop. There is a nifty tool-free reach adjuster tucked away behind the lever to dial in the distance. It's not the easiest to get to with gloves on but is well protected and looks sleek. There is no bite point adjust, but this wasn’t an issue for me out of the box. The four-pot...
- [Ultimate Sports Engineering Helix 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/seat-posts/ultimate-sports-engineering-helix-2018/) - USE's new Helix dropper is their first foray into the world of the dropper seat post. They have been producing suspension seatposts for some time and brought that knowledge and experience to the Helix. British made, the Helix uses a mechanical system and removes the need for air and oil by using a helical shaft and a clutch system. The helical system keeps saddle play to a minimum and mechanically clamps itself infinitely through the system Available in 30.9mm or 31.6, the Helix comes in a drop of 125mm or 165mm making it a potentially good option for taller riders demanding more drop. In 165mm mode the post is very long with a big 300mm needing insertion to get the post fully slammed into the frame. The collar is low profile which helps make the 165mm of drop more usable for more riders. The lever is a four-way adaptable design,...
- [FUNN Updown Funn Internal 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/seat-posts/funn-updown-funn-internal-2018/) - This is the second generation of the Updown dropper from Funn. The first was not without its problems, but this new, internally routed post claims to have solved all the previous issues. Available in 30.9mm and 31.6mm diameter, the post comes with either a 125mm or a 150mm drop. Internally it contains a sealed cartridge, which can be removed, and easily replaced by the owner if any problems occur. However, Funn doesn't expect there to be any with their new cartridge that has solved the air-in-oil bounce that many dropper posts with internal floating pistons suffer from. The seat clamp is a two bolt affair with large easy to access bolts and plenty of adjustment. The cable clamps at the lever, which makes installation simple and the cable can be simply hooked over the seat post end with a metal adapter. The post is nicely short in length so it...
- [Vitus Sentier 29 VR 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/hard-tails/vitus-sentier-29-vr-2018/) - At a penny short of a grand (currently just £899.99on CRC), Vitus' Sentier 29 VR sits on that price point on which mountain bikes really start to get good. It's also at this price where a decision is made about hardtail versus full suspension. Full suss rigs can be bought around this price, but the level of quality kit on a hardtail at this price is far better. Difficult decisions all around, but the Sentier represents a proper bike, with excellent options for upgrading, as and when budgets allow. At its heart, the Sentier benefits from some modern geometry in the form of a longish reach at 446mm on the large and a slack 66.5-degree head angle. This sets the bike up as a stable performer and with the ability to run a short stem and attack the descents. Seat tubes are short to allow for droppers, and there is...
- [Rocky Mountain Bicycles Altitude Carbon 70 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/rocky-mountain-bicycles-altitude-carbon-70-2019/) - The last few years has been a good journey for Rocky Mountain Bikes, and with the Altitude undergoing a progressive facelift their ‘aggressive trail’ bike has been well received around the globe. With the Slayer filling the big, hard-hitting enduro category, the Altitude is free to concentrate on being a long travel trail bike, or shorter travel enduro machine. It just depends on your point of view I suppose, but Rocky call it an 'Aggressive Trail' bike. Available in two aluminium and three carbon build options for 2019, the Altitude offers itself out in a wide range of prices and build finishes. It’s great to see a high-end performer available not only to those with the healthiest of budgets. With prices ranging from £2699.99 for the Alloy 30 model through to a whopping £6999.99 for the highly spec’d Carbon 90, there is a price to suit a large range of...
- [Merida Bikes One-Twenty 6000 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/merida-bikes-one-twenty-6000-2019/) - Continuing Merida's overhaul of their full suspension range, the 120 is the latest model to be brought up to speed. Sharing the style and layout of the bigger 160 and 140 models, the 120 aims to be everything the modern trail rider wants from a bike. Merida claim this new bike is the best balance of 'trail oriented riding on one side and demanding long distance rides with big climbs on the other'. The demands of the trail rider have changed dramatically over the past few years, and new trail bikes are sporting more aggressive angles than ever while maintaining their agility and playful riding style. The 120 gets in line with these new trends and sports a 67-degree head angle and a 75.5-degree seat angle. Sizing is modern but not progressive with a reach of 455mm on the large, and a 40mm bottom bracket drop aims to keep it...
- [Marin Bikes Alpine Trail 7 2019](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/marin-bikes-alpine-trail-7-2019/) - We all know that Marin is back in the game with some great bikes, and are certainly not afraid to try new things. They've pushed hard into the lower end of the price spectrum while simultaneously releasing the Wolf Ridge, their head-turning, top-end trail bike. Their bikes are coming fast from all angles. Building on the success of the Rift Zone, Hawk Hill and B-17, the Alpine Trail takes the MultiTrack suspension system and turns it up to eleven. 150mm of travel matched with a 160mm fork suggests a hard hitting bike, and coupled with a 65-degree head angle it's getting serious. So hang on, what about that Wolf Ridge? Isn't that their long travel 29er? Well, yes, and er, no. Yes, it is a 160mm 29er, but as far as Marin and Naild (the suspension design) are concerned, it's really just a trail bike with long legs. If you...
- [FUNN Ripper Pedals 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/pedals/funn-ripper-pedals-2018/) - The Ripper is Funn’s latest clip-in pedal to hit the scene and replaces the Mamba as their go-to twin sided platform, the Mamba being now sold as a one-sided clip-in pedal. With vital feedback coming from rowdy pro downhill riders such as Phill Atwill, Funn has come up with a more race-focused platform pedal with an emphasis on more shoe contact and more reliable cleat-to-pedal engagement. With an SPD compatible cleat, a mud-shedding profile and designed to be easily self-serviced, the new Ripper is likely to appeal to a wide range of gravity focussed riders. Sporting a similarly short CrMo axle like the Mamba, the Ripper boasts a single sealed bearing on the inboard side and a DU bush on the outboard end. The main update over the old Mamba is the floating cleat (or Angular Engagement System as Funn like to call it). Now, this is by no means...
- [VEE Tire Co Flow Snap 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/tyres/vee-tire-co-flow-snap-2018/) - I've enjoyed watching the gradual rise of VEE Tire Co as they have slowly manoeuvred themselves into the mountain bike world with some quality tyres. Battling the big brands is tough, and the tyre market is dominated by just a few names and a huge heap of brand loyalty from consumers. VEE Tire Co is not a new company and has had a range of tyres for some time, but only the last couple of years have they attacked the aggressive mountain bike category. I was initially impressed by their robust 'plus' tyres a couple of years back as they had sidewalls that could take some abuse, something of a rarity in the first wave of plus-sized rubber. The tyre in question here emerged last year as the Flow Snap, and I ran the 2.35 version to good effect. This year, production has ramped up and the 2.6 versions were...

- [Merida Bikes Twenty-Nine Lite XT Edition-D 2011](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/xc-bikes/merida-bikes-twenty-nine-lite-xt-edition-d-2011/) - Few companies have the pedigree that Merida boast when it comes to making fast XC mountain bikes. This fact is borne out by the fact that Jose Antonio Hermida won the XC world cup on one. So what can a company that has a history of making fast XC bikes bring to the 29’er table? We got our hands on their Twenty-Nine Lite XT package to find out. Tech heads The frame is a traditional looking hardtail, which is quite striking in its black and silver livery. The top tube and down tube are joined to the head tube separately giving a neat clean look that is continued at the junction on the seat tube where a tidy finish sees the seat stays curving out from the seat tube before straightening out completely, there is no bridge. The chain stays have the usual S curve to allow ankle clearance. The...
- [Merida Bikes Big.Nine Carbon 1200-D 2012](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/xc-bikes/merida-bikes-big-nine-carbon-1200-d-2012/) - Having tested a couple of Merida bikes in previous issues it came as no surprise to see that the Big.Nine Carbon is a striking looking bike that gives off an air of speed. The black, white and blue livery in complimented by the handsome DT Swiss forks. It is not all about good looks however, the bike has to perform too, with this in mind a break in the weather afforded me the chance to give the Merida a good blast on some reasonably dry trails. Tech heads At the heart of the Big.Nine Carbon is the frame, a full carbon affair that sports a large tapered head tube, a beefy down tube that slopes to meet the somewhat skinny seat tube, a threaded bottom bracket is used over a press fit unit. The chainstays are a solid, deep rectangular section and short by 29er standards for a shorter wheelbase....
- [Merida Bikes One Twenty Carbon XT-D 2012](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/merida-bikes-one-twenty-carbon-xt-d-2012/) - The Merida One Twenty is a striking looking bike that just looks fast. That may be something to do with the company’s name blazoned along the downtube as they are very much a brand that puts low weight and high speed high on their list of priorities. The oh-so-fast Schwalbe Racing Ralph tyres that will doubtless suit the bike in the summer had me chewing my bottom lip nervously as I watched the rain tipping down outside. Weather aside I was looking forward to getting out and having a blast on the One Twenty to see if it was just a speed demon or a little more capable of general trail abuse. Tech Heads Very much the heart of the One Twenty is its frame and the carbon version we tested was made of the same HM nano matrix black stuff as Merida’s World Cup winning XC frames, this give...
- [Merida Bikes One Twenty 8000 2016](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/merida-bikes-one-twenty-8000-2016/) - The Merida 120 sits in that middle ground of bikes that have become collectively known as “trail”, which covers seemingly everything from around 110mm-150mm of travel in a wide variety of combinations and indeed wheel sizes. Being neither cross-country nor enduro machines, they are realistically intended to do the sort of riding most people do, most of the time. Like other models in the Merida line-up, the One Twenty comes in different wheel sizes throughout the size range with 27.5’ wheels up to a size medium and 29’ above that. The bike comes as a neat, whilst not particularly flashy looking, package with a carbon front end and aluminium rear. 140mm of travel up front is taken care of by the now ubiquitous Rockshox Pike, and 120mm at the rear courtesy of a Monarch RT3, both well known and proven units doing exactly as expected, but still allowing tuning for...
- [Merida Bikes Big Trail 900 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/hard-tails/merida-bikes-big-trail-900-2017/) - When Merida announced their 2017 lineup, I thought it would maybe feature a few new models or a colour change here and there. What I wasn't prepared for was an almost complete overhaul of the range, changes to style, geometry, specs and nearly everything else. Hidden amongst this brand new set of machines was the Big Trail, an aluminium hardtail that looks at odds with what Merida usually does with a bike like this. Plus tyres to start, but look further, and you see a longer, lower and slacker bike, more so than any Merida hardtail that ever came before. The press release contained quotes such as 'fun factor' and 'downhill focus', could this be the same Merida from 2016? Fun hardtails are usually the reserve of the quirky British trail rider or crazy Canadian, but maybe the rest of the world is taking note. A glance at Eurobike showed...
- [Merida Bikes EBIG.Trail 900E 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/merida-bikes-ebig-trail-900e-2017/) - Pitchforks and flaming torches at the ready, it's time for an e-bike review, so if you're feeling angry stop reading now and find your nearest forum to vent your rage. Still reading? OK, let's do this. We know Merida has come into 2017 with a fresh look and attitude with their new range of modern, trail focused bikes including the Big Trail we reviewed last year. This incarnation of the Big Trail sees the addition of Shimano's latest and greatest Steps E8000 e-bike system to take this fun trail hardtail and electrify it! The geometry and set up is essentially the same as the non-electric version, meaning it's going to still be a fun ride, with a relatively slack head angle, low bottom bracket and long front centre. As expected with fitting a motor into a frame, the chainstays extend to accommodate, but other than that, numbers remain similar all...
- [Merida Bikes ONE SIXTY 7000 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/merida-bikes-one-sixty-7000-2017/) - With Merida giving their range a massive overhaul this year, there has been a lot of excitement around a certain all-mountain/enduro bike they were releasing - the One-Sixty! The model is available in three builds with this bike we have on test, the One-Sixty 7000, sitting in the middle of the range. Merida are from Taiwan, the home of bike manufacture, and have been around for a long time now. In addition to making their own bikes they also produce for some of the industries key players. In short, these guys know what they are doing! Perhaps best known for the Merida Multivan XC team, 2017 sees them moving into the broader mountain bike market, with a range of trail hardtails and long travel enduro bikes. Merida’s One-Sixty comes with cutting edge tech and geometry, sporting a fashionable 65-degree head angle, which seems to be the benchmark for modern enduro...
- [Merida Bikes Big Nine XT 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/xc-bikes/merida-bikes-big-nine-xt-2017/) - Merida has hit the ground running in 2017, they have launched a barrage of bikes into the arena to do battle with the trail, enduro and e-bike establishment. With bikes like the Big Trail, the ONE SIXTY and their electric equivalents, this has been a special year for the brand. But what of the heritage, the kind of bikes Merida is known for, with carbon, lightweight frames designed for those who like to ride fast. Well, here we have the Big 9, a classic Merida model in this the XT version, which is perhaps not the most imaginative name but it gives you the gist. This is a race ready carbon hardtail, 29-inch wheels, step cast Performance Fox 32 fork and tyres that look only just gripper than those on a gravel bike. This is a vehicle to travel far, fast and if you like, painfully as you torture yourself...
- [Merida Bikes eONE-SIXTY 900E 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/merida-bikes-eone-sixty-900e-2018/) - Merida has certainly reinvented itself in recent years with enduro bikes and hardtails that show a distinct change in direction from their XC heyday. This eOne Sixty is a further move from their traditional roots and has taken the e-bike market by storm. Very quickly this bike has secured itself as potentially one of the best e-bikes out there. This model in the 900E is a no-expense-spared build and the blueprint for the bike is the impressive 'One Sixty' enduro bike that has proven itself to be a fantastic performer in its own right. Rather than design a completely new e-bike, Merida has chosen to keep as close to the original as possible and simply make a bit of space for a battery and motor. We don't get a carbon frame, but other than that it is very similar. Looking at geometry the eOne Sixty, it's had a few tweaks...
- [Merida Bikes Silex 9000 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/xc-bikes/merida-bikes-silex-9000-2018/) - Merida isn't a brand that tells you what to think about their bikes. Having undergone a transformation over the past few years, they have quietly released some exceptional bikes into the mountain bike world. Not shy of trying something new, the traditionally Lycra focussed brand now have class-leading ebikes, enduro bikes and even a hardcore hardtail. This meant I wasn't hugely surprised when they suggested I test a road bike, but I did take some convincing. A road bike for mountain bikers, a gravel bike, an adventure bike. The list goes on, but what sold me on this was a photo I was shown of a quirky build of the Silex with 650b wheels, large volume tyres and a dropper post. Apparently, this was a bike you could build into anything you liked. With the rise of the drop bar bike, I wanted to get hold of this and see...
- [Merida Bikes ONE FORTY 800 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/merida-bikes-one-forty-800-2017/) - The One-Forty range is Merida’s contender for the (you guessed it) 140mm travel 27.5” All Mountain sector, with the top of the line 800 sporting a pair of 150mm RockShox Revelations up front, which gives some indication as to the persona of this solid looking bike. Revelations now share the same chassis at Pikes with 35mm stanchions and are much more capable than the previous models. Rocking a hydroformed, triple butted 6016 aluminium frame, a pair of chain stays you could build a house on and a colour scheme that says ‘I’m going to smack you in the chops’ the Merida One-Forty 800 is not a subtle bike. Nor is it a particularly lightweight one for a mid-travel bike, with the XL-framed test bike weighing in at over 14.5kg. But with a slack 66.3 head angle and long wheelbase, the 800 may just have a trump card to play. Merida’s...
- [CUBE Bikes Stereo Hybrid 160 SL 500 27.5 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/cube-bikes-stereo-hybrid-160-sl-500-27-5-2018/) - Cube has been in the ebike game since the start, and are now refining their mountain bike offer into an even more sleek package. For this year the Stereo Hybrid hides it's battery inside the down tube to create a fully integrated system. The Hybrid 160 is their biggest hitting ebike with 160mm of rear travel coupled with a 170mm of travel up front. Geometry gives a head angle of just under 66-degrees, chainstays sit at a lengthy 473mm and the reach is a very conservative 446mm on the largest size. Equipment is understated in its blacked out livery but features some fine kit. A Fox 36 Performance Elite fork takes the hits up front matched with a DPX2 out back. Bosch handles the power output with their CX motor and this is matched up with a Shimano drivetrain of XT components and some ebike ready 165mm Race Face cranks....
- [Dainese Atmo-Lite 3L Jacket 2016](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/clothing/jackets/dainese-atmo-lite-3l-jacket-2016/) - Dainese are an Italian company based around quality and the progression of usable technology. They have been creating innovative and ground breaking technology in the motorbike world since 1972 and more recently have turned their hand to the human powered bike world. You may have seen people flying down your local downhill track in Dainese knee and shin pads as their motorbike protection made the crossover sometime before. The Atmo-Lite-3 Layer jacket is made from D-DRY® membrane laminate shell. Fully waterproof, highly breathable with a bike specific design and featuring fully taped seams and waterproof zips. Lightweight and thin as you'd want from an active layer, it has a soft-shell feel to it with a special nylon yarn exterior, finishing off the solid yet minimalist feel of the jacket. On The Trail Reflective tabs on the back and a micro sized hood designed to be worn under the helmet don't...
- [Spank Bikes Spike 350 Vibrocore 29er 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/wheels/spank-bikes-spike-350-vibrocore-29er-2018/) - Spank has a great reputation for hard-hitting and reliable products. I tried and failed to destroy a set of Oozy 345s in the Alps a couple of years ago, which cemented them for me, as one of the more robust wheel makers out there. Always keen to innovate, Spank has been working with their Vibrocore system, which they use in their handlebars, and have applied it to their wheels. Vibrocore is, according to Spank; 'a proprietary, biodegradable, complex foam core of precisely controlled density'. This foam is then injected into the bar, or rim to reduce vibrations in the system the foam also acts to increase the inner wall strength and therefore thinner walls can be used. These new wheels are, however, more than just rims filled with foam, the new profile aims to increase lateral stiffness and torsional strength while improving radial compliance. Put simply, it should roll over...

Expanding their Horizon range of components, Nukeproof have added a new wheelset into the mix at a bargain price. Developed with WTB, they stay true to the Nukeproof philosophy of being robust and hassle-free, requiring no proprietary parts for repair or rebuild. They are Downhill and enduro rated and roll on EZO Japanese sealed cartridge bearings. The numbers look good on paper, with a 29mm internal width enabling plenty of tyre choice and big tyre stability. The hub uses 6 pawls and creates 84 points of engagement to put the power down. They are tubeless ready and come properly taped with valves ready for tyres to be mounted. Twenty-eight straight pull spokes build the wheel, with a thirty-two spoke option with...
- [Industry Nine Trail 270 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/wheels/industry-nine-trail-270-2018/) - Industry Nine are well known for their high-end wheelsets and non-conformist approach to manufacturing and wheel design. My first experience of their products was a Torch hub built on a set of Reynolds carbon wheels and they blew my mind. The speed of engagement along with the stiff hoop felt incredible and had me hooked on the rapid hub speed and superb power transfer. Industry Nine have a whole host of wheels, but the Trail 270 is a new offering which packages up the Torch hub with a 27mm wide rim and their renowned aluminium spokes. This combination aims to give a very light (for trail bikes) wheelset, super fast engagement and enough strength to keep up with all that modern trail bikes can throw at a set of wheels. The weights come in at a svelte 1650g with the front weighing 765g and the rear 885g. Most axles are...
- [Vitus E-Sommet VR 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/electric-bikes/vitus-e-sommet-vr-2018/) - While many brands are on their second or third versions of an electric bike, Vitus have rolled in casually with their E-Sommet, sensibly waiting for the dust to settle in the ebike world before launching theirs. They've obviously learnt plenty from the ebike frenzy as the E-Sommet looks to be a very well thought out ebike ready to do proper mountain bike business. Based on their successful Sommet enduro bike, the 'E' version gets a Shimano Steps E8000 system strapped on and it's ready to go. The only major change in geometry from the Sommet is just shy of 10mm on the chainstay at 444mm and a couple of mm difference on the reach. The head angle remains at 65.5, a 75-degree seat angle and on the large, the reach is 472 which is on the longer end of the spectrum. The Shimano E8000 system is minimal, and compact, allowing...
- [CUBE Bikes Stereo 150 TM 29 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/cube-bikes-stereo-150-tm-29-2018/) - The story behind the new Stereo has already been told when I wrote up the first ride a few months back. In short, Cube's enduro team had access to a long travel 650b bike but chose to ride the shorter travel 29er (stereo 140) and Greg Callaghan ended up winning the Irish round of the EWS on board the big wheels. This obviously got Cube going with a long travel 29er and the Stereo 150 is the result. Currently available in 3 models, the Race, SL and TM which we have here. They are based on the same frame, but the TM model gets the C:68 Carbon rather than the C:62. The 68 carbon has some pretty fancy engineering behind it that allows for a 68% carbon content and nanoparticles (sounds pretty Sci-Fi) which increase stiffness whilst keeping weight down. Simply put, the higher-grade frame is both stiffer and lighter....

However, just quickly before I ramble on I want to wish our Editor and chief Rou a speedy recovery as he ‘hops’ around on one foot having snapped the other off by crashing out in the Alps last month. For me the bunny hop is a skill that can really open up terrain and the possibilities on the bike.

- [Mac Ride Child Seat 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/saddles/mac-ride-child-seat-2018/) - Being a mountain biking parent it's inevitable that one's offspring will have a childhood surrounded by bikes. From an early age, my son has had various wheeled machines to play with and fall off. The boom in kids bikes means there is now a plethora of choices from balance bikes to full-on performance machines for the little people. What has been lacking are quality ways to take your child on your bike with you. The child trailers have been around for a while, but the child is isolated and you end up limited to wide smooth trails. Your child may sleep, you might get exercise, but it's not great, plus if you get on the roads your children are vulnerable low down. Rear seats are ok, but they don't get to see where they are going and get bounced around all over the place. I even tried riding with him...
- [Manitou Jack Dropper Post 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/seat-posts/manitou-jack-dropper-post-2018/) - With the arrival of Jack, Manitou have at last joined the party and released their first dropper post into an increasingly wide selection of rival seat posts. The more weather-beaten readers among you will be long familiar with Manitou, they’ve got a great pedigree going back to 1990 – when Doug Bradbury build the first Manitou fork with 1.5 of travel using elastomer springs. The following year Answer licenced the design, but kept the name Manitou, and so began a long history of mountain bike product design focused on suspension forks. Fast forward 28 years and Answer have collaborated again with Manitou to produce the Jack, their debut dropper post, available in 125mm and 150mm travel, in both 30.9mm and 31.6mm diameter builds. It’s a cable-actuated, internally routed post employing an ‘Air-Back’ hydraulic cartridge to raise the seat. It looks set to target the competitively priced posts just above the...
- [X-Fusion Manic Dropper Post 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/seat-posts/x-fusion-manic-dropper-post-2018/) - The dropper seat post market is without a doubt currently saturated, with options from numerous brands of varying acclaim. For a product that has very few necessary requirements there sure is a lot of choice. The classic adage for bike parts, is cheap, light, strong; choose two. I guess this ties in with the dropper well, but it also comes down to how well they work, and again for a product of so few requirements the usability varies hugely. The X Fusion Manic Dropper has done a good job of taking on all of these headings. Out of the box, it’s not the lightest dropper on the market, at 630grams for the 150mm version, but there is less than 100grams in it between the Manic and a lot of its competitors. When you compare this to the decidedly crazy price of X Fusion’s latest offering, which brings home at less...
- [Fox Racing Shox Transfer Factory Dropper Post 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/seat-posts/fox-racing-shox-transfer-factory-dropper-post-2018/) - FOX had a slightly bumpy start to the world of droppers with their DOSS post, which wasn't badly received by the mountain bike world but lacked the finesse and style of modern FOX components. Enter the Transfer, with a better name, looks to kill and ready to compete with the best. The Transfer here is their Factory version, but unlike in their suspension, there is very little difference between this and the Performance model. The Factory version has Kashima coating, whereas the Performance does not. Available in 30.9 and 31.6 diameters, there are three drops of 100mm, 125mm or 150mm to choose from. For levers you have a choice, a large under-bar thumb paddle to suit a 1-by system, or a space saving lever to sit alongside a front shifter. The post is sold without the lever, so you can choose which one you prefer, but with an extra price...
- [RockShox Reverb Dropper Post 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/seat-posts/rockshox-reverb-dropper-post-2018/) - One of the first droppers to dominate the market, the Reverb has been around for what now feels like forever. Opting to be hydraulically actuated, the Reverb has always stood out from the crowd and trod its own path. This latest version sees travel upped to 170mm (other options available) but the new lever is the star of the show and has replaced the old plunger style. Having sat on Reverbs for many years, it was great to get hold of a box fresh version for some independent testing. You don't need to look hard on internet forums to hear stories of woe from Reverb owners, yet over the years I have had very few problems other than a bit of bounce which was fixed under warranty. The latest Reverbs claim to be bigger, better and more reliable than ever before, and their dominance in the market may well be...
- [Marin Bikes Rift Zone 3 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/marin-bikes-rift-zone-3-2018/) - In recent years Marin have seriously stepped up their game. The appointment of Matt Cipes as their MTB Product Manager in 2015 putting them on a mission to bring their range back to the top level, where they belong. With a swathe of new bikes over the past 2 years, the output has been excellent, with well-received bikes across the range. The new Rift Zone shows evidence of this with an old name, but a brand new frame aimed at tackling the trail bike market. This short travel 29’er has been overhauled to create a longer, lower and slacker ride which Marin believe will keep up-to-date with market trends as well as ensure the user has maximum fun; after all, it does state “made for fun” on the frame. It’s based around the shapes of the Marin Hawk Hill that we saw launched last year. The frame and linkage are...
- [Pivot Cycles Trail 429 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/pivot-cycles-trail-429-2018/) - Pivot has wasted very little time in overhauling their range, delivering new versions and brand new models at what seems like an alarming rate. Switchblade, Firebird, Mach 5.5, Mach 6, all of these feel like they were released only yesterday. The style, engineering and even elements of geometry have been shared across the range to produce a coherent collection of bikes which are true to the brand. Although Pivots share the same DNA, they all have their niche, but with plenty of overlapping versatility within each model. For the 429 Trail, it is obviously pinned as a trail bike, but with the Mach 5.5 lorded as the 'quintessential trail bike' by Pivot, it has me wondering what the 429 is all about. First and foremost is wheel size and 29, where it's at for the 429, which makes sense for a short travel bike. There is the option and clearance...
- [Joystick Bicycle Components Builder Stem 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/stems/joystick-bicycle-components-builder-stem-2017/) - “A stem is a stem” I often hear muttered from the mouths of even the most seasoned mountain biker, and I guess for a large percentage of the market, this could be true. Two pinch bolts on the steerer and four holding your bars firmly in place on the front (hopefully). Every now and then a product comes along that makes you take a second look, The Joystick Builder Stem, in my opinion, is most definitely one of those. It stands out from the crowd, with its sleek design, all in black, only broken by the subtle, sharp white logo placement on the side. There is a definite lack of material in this stem, but the engineering is evident just , and the claims that it is “light enough for your race bike and strong enough for freeriding” I think have been justly tested. The guys at Joystick have chosen a...
- [Joystick Bicycle Components Analog Carbon 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/handlebars/joystick-bicycle-components-analog-carbon-2017/) - The Analog Carbon bars from Joystick continue the brand's strong and stylish design approach to the mountain bike market. The tidy looking graphics, with a strong space-invaders, vibe to them, not only look the part but provide an array of markers for the perfect set up and alignment. The Joystick digi-skull also peeks through the open face plate when teamed up with the Joystick builder stem. On The Trail There’s nothing too revolutionary in the spec sheet, in terms of numbers. I was running the 31.8mm clamp, 20mm rise bar, which sports 9-degree bend and a 6-degree upsweep. The development and science comes in with the Joystick Carbon technology. Using composites designed specifically for them, in custom moulds, the bars also feature reinforced clamping zones throughout the bar for all points of contact. Joystick claim the bar “challenges the misconceptions about the durability of carbon handlebars.” I would have to...
- [Manual Labour](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/skills/manual-labour/) - Lifting Without Shifting Manuals and ‘proper’ manual bunny hops are closely knit companions in your skill arsenal, alongside dropping and jumping they are often considered as the ‘holy grail’ skills. When we look at them performed effortlessly by the likes of Danny (that guy that hops around Edinburgh and Glasgow) MacAskill and other notable mountain bike celebrities it can become all too easy to get disheartened and put these skills out of reach, that needn’t be the case though. First things first, we will address the manual and put some perspective on the situation that will hopefully elevate your confidence levels and get you doing what is necessary to ride faster, smoother and, of course, safer out on the trails. If you have been following my drivel, then you will already know that the big deal out there on dirt and rock is not to get hung up or stuck...
- [Grim Up North](https://www.imbikemag.com/articles/issue53/grim-up-north/) - The north south divide is a curiously British institution, with strong stereotypes and vast variations in weather. Isac Paddock takes a trip deep into the north lands and explores what makes the area so special for mountain bikers despite the rainfall and unforgiving gradients.

- [Rose Bikes Pikes Peak 2 AM 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/rose-bikes-pikes-peak-2-am-2018/) - Since the beginning of the 20th-century, German company, Rose has grown through family generations from a tiny bike shop into a huge direct sales outfit, which employs nearly 350 people. Their latest to their bike range is the Pikes Peak which offers two different 27.5 bikes based on the same versatile lightweight (2380g) carbon frame. Aimed at the ‘enduro’ end of the market is the bigger hitting steed providing 165mm travel at the rear and a 160mm fork, whilst their ‘AM’ version is a tamed down version with 150mm of travel front and back. Both models roll with the wider axle Boost set up to keep the chassis nice and stiff. There are 3 different spec options to choose from in both versions as well as the option of using Rose’s build configurator to really maximise the customer's options. We have been testing The PIKES PEAK AM 2 which boasts...
- [Trail Guide - Les Arcs](https://www.imbikemag.com/articles/issue52/trail-guide-les-arcs/) - Rou and the IMB Team head to Les Arcs in the Savoie region of the Alps to rediscover one of the best mountain bike locations in Europe. With runs from the top of the mountain to the valley floor and a hugely improved bike park they make new friends, ride amazing trails and discover somewhere they might try and call home.

Hitting the trails, we see what they are capable of and talk to the people who make them about why they are so good.

- [MET Helmets ROAM 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/helmets/met-helmets-roam-2018/) - On The Trail The new Roam is Met's unashamedly Enduro specific lid. It's big, bold and is fully goggle compatible to go full bore racer-style. Available in a huge number of colours it's a stylish piece of kit and with the huge visor, it gives a striking look. Available in MIPS or standard it features a classic wind up retention system at the back of the head and has 22 vents to keep your scalp chilled. The long visor is articulated and attached via two hex bolts allowing it to pivot upwards to give plenty of space for goggles under the peak. The peak also has nifty slots for the goggle straps to keep them in place which is a clever touch. Weighing in at 340g for the largest size, it's very light for a helmet of this style. The overall construction is one of quality, with all buckles and...
- [Fox Racing Shox 36 Factory GRIP2 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/forks/fox-racing-shox-36-factory-grip2-2018/) - Just when you thought you were getting your head around 2018 Fox decides the future is coming early and drops some 2019 goods on our laps. Given I barely know what I'm up to next week, 2019 feels a long way off! Still, never one to sniff at some fresh produce, these rather lovely 36s arrived in time to celebrate spring (2018 that is). Now Fox's 36 platform has been the hard-hitting riders choice for some time now, with their top end factory models always gaining lustful glances with their golden Kashima coated stanchions. They occupy a position at the top of the market and are hugely desirable objects, even from a purely aesthetic standpoint. For 2019 they remain very similar to the casual glance with 36mm stanchions of course and this model here featuring the 'don't you know I'm sponsored?' orange lowers. These forks are in 160mm mode and...
- [Marzocchi Bomber Z1 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/suspension/forks/marzocchi-bomber-z1-2018/) - It's not every day we see a classic reborn. Having grown up riding bikes through the '90s there was nothing I wanted more than a DMR Trailstar with a set of Bomber Z1s. For me, at the time, there was nothing cooler and they represented something that was lacking at the time; a reliable and burly fork with a usable amount of travel. Bombers would allow for the hardest riding, minimal maintenance and maximum fun. Since then the Bomber family grew into various guises and the name continued to be well respected and a byword for reliable, hard-hitting forks. Marzocchi’s ride hasn't been easy in the highly competitive suspension market though. In 2008 it was bought up by Tenneco, which revived the brand slightly before various issues caused production problems. In 2015 'certain assets' of the brand were acquired by Fox and since then there are obviously been a lot...
- [CUBE Bikes Stereo 140 HPC SL 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/cube-bikes-stereo-140-hpc-sl-2018/) - When Cube rolled out their 2018 range last year it featured a mix of both old favourites and revamped models. The Stereo range didn't get a huge overhaul other than some tidy batteries on the electric range, and in the standard bikes, the 120 and 160 remained unchanged. It was the 140 that had seen the full makeover and was turning heads partly because of the new frame, but also from the lack of a 29er model! The 140 for this year gets a new frame and a different style, and for the moment only in 650b wheels. More angular and purposeful, the new model has a carbon front and an aluminium rear. The front, being carbon, allows for some sharp-edged profiles and a beautiful continuous line down from top tube to seat stay. Classic design, well executed. Interestingly Cube sought to rid the frame of what they call, 'ungainly...
- [Wheelie Wicked](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/skills/wheelie-wicked/) - Eliminate And Exaggerate This issue is the start of a mini-series where we build on our technique and take a look at some core skills. We kick off with one of the most envied and sought-after skills; the wheelie. This one ticks the box for teens in the high street and estates of the UK as well as the big kids in the bike park. The ability to pop that front wheel up to get onto and over things is a skill set that all riders should have in their toolkit. Only the most basic of trails will slip under the radar and allow you to roll around them without getting that front wheel unweighted at some point when gravity is working against you, and that stopper heads your way it's only a tap of the gas and lift of that front wheel which will save you. So how is...
- [Crankalicious Mud Honey Bucket Wash 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/cleaning-products/crankalicious-mud-honey-bucket-wash-2018/) - Crankalicious is a new brand to me, making a range of cycling cleaning products clearly from the hipster school of marketing. A wide selection is on offer, none of which would look out of place on the shelf of your local beard oil shop. Bright colours and solutions to every cleaning or polishing problem you and your bike may have, Crankalicious has it covered. They do even sell a polishing kit that includes a cordless drill with a polisher attached...maybe next time. So here we are looking at their Mud Honey cleaner, which rather than being a spray is an old fashioned dilute-in-a-bucket affair. Keeping it authentic, all products are made in the UK and even the labels are applied by hand. Other products in the range include the Rotorissimo brake cleaner and the Limon Velo spray degreaser. In Use Diluting into a bucket is the first major faff of...

- [Vaude Moab Women Pro 18 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/hydration-packs-bags/vaude-moab-women-pro-18-2018/) - Vaude have successfully created an extremely functional trail pack, designed specifically for the female rider. The Moab Women’s Pro boasts 18 litres of storage space able to hold all you could need for a long day on the trails. Although the design is fairly simple, Vaude have definitely not scrimped. The Moab comes equipped with some much sought-after features, including a back protector, rain cover and a helmet carry to name but a few. It's also worth noting the little green label attached to the Moab Women Pro pack. Vaude have a series of products that proudly sport this label indicating that the products have been made from sustainable materials, under fair working conditions. This eco-friendly approach is something the company are consistently trying to apply to an increasing number of products their range, and we like the fact this pack is one of them.

- [Rapid Racer Products ProGuard (Max Protection) 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/mudguards/rapid-racer-products-proguard-max-protection-2018/) - Designed to offer maximum protection around a significant area of the front tyre’s circumference the ProGuard is a mud guard of gargantuan proportions that on paper should keep you cleaner, drier and - most importantly - able to see down the trail without eyes full of dirt. Available in two sizes, standard (119g) and ‘Max Protection’ (133g) for even greater coverage, the ProGuard seeks to plug the gaps left by other, similarly large guards; namely the range of fitting options, limited spray protection and issues with tyre clearance and blockages. The ProGuard claims to work with 26”, 27.5” and 29” wheels. The ProGuard is injection moulded so offers a good level of flexibility and strength without being brittle - ideal for when the inevitable crash comes around! A range of coloured decals are also available should you wish to colour code the guard to your bike. A massive 24 fitting...

- [Dakine Nomad Pack 2010](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/hydration-packs-bags/dakine-nomad-pack-2010/) - We wanted a pack for the Mega that we could fit a fair bit in, obviously in a race like that you need to be carrying enough spares to be able to get yourself out any mechanicals. Add to that a good amount of food and a jacket for long days in the mountains and the pack needs to be fairly substantial. At 18L the Nomad from Dakine is one of their most popular packs. Big enough to fill with everything you should need, yet still small enough to not hinder you on the trails. The hydration reservoir is really easy to fill up and clean, you can get your whole hand inside to scrub out any mould and even turn it inside out if you need to. At the Mega We had no problems filling the pack up with everything we needed, it was pretty full on most days...
- [Endura MT 500 Enduro Backpack 2016](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/hydration-packs-bags/endura-mt-500-enduro-backpack-2016/) - Endura have been producing clothing that riders can trust for over 13 years now, clothing that lasts and stands up to the elements of riding in the UK. They have held their own in a super challenging market and have now shown their intent to move up another gear. With a newly revised, brighter and more stylish MT500 range that has the likes of Danny Macaskill flying the flag, this could be the start of a tidy new chapter for the Scottish based company. Endura have added two new backpacks to their iconic range of rugged apparel and the star of the show is undoubtedly this one. The new MT500 backpack is loaded with innovative features and targeted at the serious off-road rider. It is a stylish looking 15 litre pack boasting a lightweight and breathable honeycomb-effect spine protector made of Koroyd EOP 1.0. This has been thermally welded together to...
- [Dakine Hot Laps 5L Waist Pack 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/hydration-packs-bags/dakine-hot-laps-5l-waist-pack-2018/) - Depending on what part of the planet you're from, you'll call these things by various names: bumbags, fanny packs, hip packs... Call them what you will, but they have made a surprising and confident return to the mountain bike world. The enduro scene is probably to blame/thank, but there is something to be said for shrinking your luggage and minimising the load. Keep the weight low and nearer your centre of mass, and things should feel more stable, at least that is the idea. Limit what you take and before you know it you're spinning along with a cooling breeze on your back rather than a sweat-laden jersey. Styles are plentiful, but thankfully most don't look like you've just walked out of an 80's disco. These are functional pieces of high tech mountain bike kit, not fanny packs. The Hot Laps 5L from Dakine aims to provide the ultimate in...
- [Schwalbe Magic Mary (SnakeSkin/Addix Soft) 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/tyres/schwalbe-magic-mary-snakeskin-addix-soft-2018/) - Schwalbe’s Magic Mary has been a top choice tyre for many aggressive trail riders since its release in 2014. It's a classic tread pattern from the German tyre behemoth, but has the fresh wizardry from Wolfgang Arenz in the rubber recipe made the Mary even more magical? The tread pattern of the Magic Mary hasn’t changed from the previous versions, but Schwalbe has completely reworked their rubber compounds from scratch with the help of Wolfgang Arenz and invested in a 1.5 million dollar machine which they say will greatly improve the consistency of the end product. The tyre on test here is the 29-inch Snakeskin Addix Soft which Schwalbe claims to offer more grip than its Trailstar predecessor, whilst also increasing rolling speed, and durability by 149%. In other words, you should only need to buy one Addix Soft tyre to last you the same amount of trail shredding time...
- [Gloworm Lights Alpha 1200 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/lights/gloworm-lights-alpha-1200-2018/) - The Kiwi-born company Gloworm has been on the go since 2010 and has grown from a small New Zealand business into a global brand with distributors in 10 counties and a main office now based in Europe. Their aim is to offer more affordable lights for riders who want to get out at night, but aren't prepared to spend an entire paycheque on a lighting solution, as well as offering the best weight-to-lumen ratio possible. Gloworm's latest light to hit the market is the Alpha 1200. This is an impressively compact and lightweight piece of waterproof lighting (only 69 grams for the head assembly) which still pumps out a strong 1200 lumens. It boasts a neat little 3.4AHr Lithium battery which will keep the trails lit for 2 hours on the max setting, and comes with the necessary mounts and cables so you can stick it to your head or...
- [Hope Technology Tech 3 E4 Brakes 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/brakes/hope-technology-tech-3-e4-brakes-2018/) - When it comes to high-powered brakes, Hope has to be in the mix. Having been involved in disc brakes since the very beginning, they obviously know their stuff, proven by the legions of fans that will have nothing else on their bike. Looking like they've come straight from a lump of metal (because they have), the E4s represent Hopes top end Enduro brake. The one-piece caliper houses four 16mm pistons to dish out the squeeze and is activated by the Tech 3 lever. The lever is again industrial looking and has all the adjustment you need, including reach and contact point. These are big chunky dials, no tiny hidden hex keys here. Top loading pads and a bolt through retainer for them finish off the brakes and they, as always, are available in plenty of colours. Braided hoses are available too if you want to look 'classic Hope', and their...
- [Hope Technology R4+ LED 2016](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/lights/hope-technology-r4-led-2016/) - Hope needs no , renowned for high-quality engineering and manufacture; they have been making lights alongside all their other products for many years. The R4+ represents the latest version of their 2000 lumen (1500 measured) light. The light unit is a beautifully machined piece, with 4 Cree LEDs held within a solid and fantastically detailed case, with etched logos, plenty of curves and a bayonet fitting on the base. This is a truly lovely piece of kit to fondle, and the robust and reassuring attachment into either the bar or helmet mount is a joy to behold. Cable options allow for the external battery pack to be frame mounted, or carried in a pack if used on your helmet. There is also a head torch strap for use off the bike for when/if you feel the need to go for a run at night. The battery has a five bar...
- [Hope Technology F20 Flat Pedals 2016](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/pedals/hope-technology-f20-flat-pedals-2016/) - The F20 has been around for a while now, in a typical Hope 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' style. True to form these pedals are CNC machined out of a good solid lump of aluminium giving a ridged finish with a slightly concave shape to the body. The pedals run on three cartridge bearings and one bush all held together with a heat treated and plated Cr-mo axle. The 20 pins are hollow and replaceable and thread through the pedal from the opposite side. As always, multiple colours are available and the final finish and etching is immaculate. On The Trail Once all 20 pins have been installed (you have to do that bit yourself) they are ready to rock, and look like a serious set of weapons. Weighing in at 390g they offer a competitive weight whilst still looking like they can take a beating. Crucially with...
- [Hope Technology Enduro – Pro 4 2016](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/wheels/hope-technology-enduro-pro-4-2016/) - Purveyors of fine quality British engineering, Hope have been at the forefront of component manufacturing for what seems like forever. Having developed an almost legendary reputation in the bike industry, they represent durability and reliability to the core, alongside an 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' mentality towards product development. For many years now the Pro II hubs have served as the starting point for a reliable set of wheels, with the telltale sound of an angry mechanical wasp removing any need for a bell to warn others of your imminent arrival. Having used the Pro 2s over the years, and then the EVO version, I did wonder what could be done to improve on these hubs. Better cutting tools, bigger ratchets, a larger hub body and a few bearing tweaks here and there all add up to a new and improved version of a classic. While the hubs...
- [Hope Technology Vision R1 2013](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/lights/hope-technology-vision-r1-2013/) - Hope launched the R1 as a smaller sibling to the very popular R4 light, which we tested last year. The R4 boast an impressive 1000 lumen output and the R1 comes in at 500 lumens with a 2 cell instead of a 4-cell battery. It’s smaller and lighter than the R4, and comes with bar, helmet and a head mount in the box. The R1 uses a TIR Optic to ensure a good even spread of light and the run time of 2.5 hours is very impressive with the small dual cell 2600mAh battery. It is worth noting that the light is also compatible with the existing Hope battery packs. On The Trail One thing we love about the new lights from Hope is the excellent QR mounting system. Once you have bolted the aluminium bracket to your bars, or the QR mechanism to the helmet mount, you can quickly...
- [Hope Technology Vision R4 2012](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/lights/hope-technology-vision-r4-2012/) - The R4 from Hope has been around for a year or so now, and has had plenty of time to prove itself in the field and out on the trails. There are, as ever, many happy customers and, as fans of the previous incarnation, we were keen to see how the Vision R4 performed. First up, it is tiny in comparison, Hope have made the main unit for the light a lot smaller and lighter while packing even more power into it. They claim to have crammed 65% more light output into the device as well, which is nothing short of impressive. There are various battery options available, depending on how long you want the light to run for, and also how heavy you want the battery to be. The batteries are compatible with the old Vision 4 lights so if you already have one lying around then you can...
- [Hope Technology Tech M4 2010](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/brakes/hope-technology-tech-m4-2010/) - Weight: 279 Grams (caliper, lever and standard hose front brake) The Tech M4 has been around for a little while and it has plenty of time in the field. Initial doubts about the fragility of the lever have proved unfounded and as usual the brakes are living up to the usual Hope standards of quality. Out of the box there is the usual awe at the beautifully machined aluminium. And closer inspection revels the new Tech lever, which is now standard across the entire brake range. It features tool free reach and bite point adjust. A machined blade with neat holes to help your fingertips grip and shave weight and also a flip flop body, which means they can be mounted any way you like. The calliper for the M4 has been redesigned and is now a 4pot affair, it is fairly beefy in it’s construction and looks like it...
- [Hope Technology Pro 2 on Mavic 721 Wheelset 2010](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/tyres/hope-technology-pro-2-on-mavic-721-wheelset-2010/) - Weight: 987g Front 1114g Rear Wheels take a battering at these kinds of events; a solid week of blasting downhill over tough and rocky conditions means plenty of wear and tear. The Hopes appealed for a few reasons, low maintenance and durability being the main ones. We opted for the standard Pro 2 Hub built onto Mavic 721 rims; these should prove to be sturdy enough to survive, without going overboard on the weight. Plus if anything were to go wrong we knew they would be easy to fix. At the Mega The Hubs were excellent especially the crisp engagement on the rear hub when we were pedalling. They performed their rolling duties perfectly, even though we did our best to break them! The wheels however took a bit of a battering, by the end of the week they were still running and perfectly functional, but they needed a little...
- [Hope Technology V2 Brakes 2010](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/brakes/hope-technology-v2-brakes-2010/) - Weight: 615g (full brake with 180mm rotor, braided hose and all bolts and fittings) The new Tech V2 is the strongest and most powerful brake Hope have in their line up at the moment. While it might not be the lightest bit of aluminium on the market, it is certainly one of the beefiest. We opted for the braided hose and the floating rotors to ensure maximum cooling and power. A trip to the Mega was going to test these brakes beyond their limits and we wanted to give them every chance we could. We were running a 203mm rotor up front and a 183mm rotor out the back. The tech lever is one of our favourite features of the brake, it allows optimum set up with no tools required, set the lever reach and the bite point exactly how you want it. Job done. We also like the simple...
- [Hope Technology Vision 4 2009](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/lights/hope-technology-vision-4-2009/) - One thing you know you will get with a Hope product is quality, and with the Vision series of lights that is ever present; neatly packaged and beautifully machined the Hope Vision 4 really is one of the daddies in the lighting business. This light has 4 stationary beam settings and an additional flash setting. The static settings: low, medium, high and max. We have given the Lux meter readings for both the max and high settings to show how similar they are. The battery life is increased considerably using the high as opposed to the max setting, and you don’t loose much of the effectiveness of the light making it an ideal option for longer night rides. It’s a sturdy, well made light with a good handlebar fixing that, using a screw and lever design, makes it very easy to take on and off, or adjust. A single rubber...
- [Swiss Single Track Assault](https://www.imbikemag.com/articles/issue51/swiss-single-track-assault/) - Thomas Vanderham joins a trip into the mountains of Switzerland to explore the huge landscape and amazing trails. Using the ever so efficient Swiss transport system the team combine the best trails into a week of epic riding in beautiful mountains.
- [Trail Guide - Sintra](https://www.imbikemag.com/articles/issue51/trail-guide-sintra/) - Sun, Sea and Surf. That's a pretty good combination, but throw in some amazing mountain bike trails and you have the potential for the ultimate destination. Fabian Gleitsmann reports back from sunny Sintra on the Portuguese coast and proves you don't need massive mountains for stunning riding.
- [Van Dieman - Nocturnal](https://www.imbikemag.com/articles/issue51/van-dieman-nocturnal/) - The night may be dark and full of terrors, but strap a set of lights to your bike and the trails are transformed, offering a brand new experience. Jasper Da Seymour takes his camera into the night and explores this world through some truly amazing photography.

We find out how the mind of Jones works, and how the film all came together.

- [SRAM MTB Code RSC Brakes 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/brakes/sram-mtb-code-rsc-brakes-2018/) - The name may have been around for years, but this time Code sees a revision that loses the Avid label and joins the SRAM family officially. Having been a downhill brake of choice for many years the powerful stoppers had a strong following but needed an update. Some riders had started experimenting with the popular Guide lever and adding a Code calliper, this combined the lever feel they wanted with more stopping force. This combination now exists as the Guide RE, a brake marketed towards ebikes, but great in its own right. The Code still has the 4 pot caliper, but gets a redesigned lever based around the Guide, which is a little larger to pack more punch. Available as either the 'R' or 'RSC' the R stands for reach adjust and the S and C for Swinglink and Contact adjustment. The Swinglink is an extra cam that moves the...
- [Shimano Zee Brakes 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/components/brakes/shimano-zee-brakes-2018/) - Shimano's high-powered stoppers have been around for some time now, offering two flavours of four-pot power. The Saints sit up top as the benchmark and below which the less expensive Zee offers huge power but with a slightly lower spec. Essentially the Zee is a four-pot caliper on an SLX lever, which is why the lever looks familiar! The Saints get an XTR lever and pretty much the same caliper but with a bolt through pad retainer rather than the split pin on the Zee’s. The Zee also forfeit the finned pads for just regular ones, but these can be upgraded if necessary. The increase in power over Shimanos standard brakes is the increase in the number of pistons, which give a bigger area for pushing pads onto the disc. Most other features are similar to other Shimano brakes, with a hinged clamp on the lever for easy installation and...
- [Kinesis Tripster AT 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/xc-bikes/kinesis-tripster-at-2018/) - The Tripster AT is the long-awaited sibling to its titanium counterpart the Tripster ATR. Respected and lusted after in the adventure biking world, it's price tag put it firmly out of reach for most, but not anymore. This version is mostly the same, but with some tweaks from the late, great Mike Hall who was integral to its development. Now there are plenty of arguments about when is a mountain bike not a mountain bike, but for me, it's what you do that defines mountain biking, not what you ride. For me, this is a drop bar bike for long trips, adventures and exploration off-road. We asked for a build on the Tripster AT to be full on off-road specific, as it is possible to build this up as a comfy road bike. It's available as a frame only, but also with build kits from Upgrade. The numbers on the...
- [Vitus Escarpe VR 29 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/trail-bikes/vitus-escarpe-vr-29-2018/) - For 2018 the Vitus range gets an overhaul, with all the main bikes getting some updates. If the Sommet is the full enduro race machine, then the Escarpe is better described as a trail bike, but as I found out testing the previous version, it could easily play enduro if required. For this year the geometry gets a tweak, wheels are boosted, and shocks become metric. All this brings the bike up to date and compatible with all the new measurements and 'standards'. The Escarpe comes in two wheel sizes, both with 140mm travel and each of those sizes have two different specs. The 29 VRX boasts 10mm more travel on the front and upgraded parts over the 29VR we have here. Notably, the VRX features a 150mm RockShox Lyric, where the VR runs a 140mm Revelation. Although a subtle change, I do wonder why the travel difference is needed,...
- [Nukeproof Mega 275c Factory 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/enduro-bikes/nukeproof-mega-275c-factory-2018/) - Last year was a big year for Nukeproof, not only launching their new re-vamped range but also making waves in both the Enduro and Downhill scene. Sam Hill came, saw and conquered the EWS with trademark style, and although it wasn't a walk in the park, he reaffirmed himself as the best in the world. Just when you thought he couldn't be any more of a legend, Hill only went and came 6th at the Downhill World Champs in Cairns. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, he did it on his Enduro bike, which just happens to be the one I've been hitting the trails with this winter. Now Sam's bike was a little different to this one, namely the suspension and a touch more travel in the fork, but essentially the chassis is the same. This is the Factory model and features a 170mm fork and 165mm rear end,...
- [Commencal META HT AM Essential 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/bikes/hard-tails/commencal-meta-ht-am-essential-2018/) - Commencal has long been of the belief that “it’s better to have a good hardtail than a bad full suspension bike.” The Commencal META HT has very similar numbers to the full bounce version and even sports a similarly aggressive looking silhouette. As hardtails go, this one looked from the off like it was going to be fun. The AM Essential comes in at a pretty modest price for a bike that's ready for the trails straight out of the box. At £1449.99 you’re getting a whole heap of bike, although there are a few changes you might consider early on, the main one of note would be a dropper, if you’re going to be using this bike to its full capability up and down, that would be a worthwhile addition. The alloy frame is a sleek, good-looking design, mimicking, as I mentioned, some of the design features from the...
- [Winter Skills - Part 2](https://www.imbikemag.com/technique/seasonal-riding/winter-skills-part-2/) - Stop the press, break out the balloons and grab a slice of cake as we celebrate one year with IMB. What a year we’ve had, and what a year ahead. Creating features is a fascinating process when the guys at IMB approached me my brain went into overdrive with ideas for the technique section. I’ve been humbled over the years as I’ve seen mountain biking grow and its audience diversify; segregated by branding and labelling but all harmoniously singing from the same hymn sheet of having fun on two wheels. I’ve learnt a lot since I started riding and racing 31 years ago and I wanted to reflect on what we’ve looked at (and hopefully learnt) over the past year. Reflection is a cornerstone of coaching. We evaluate, modify, apply and continually repeat this process. From language to line choice, the series has taken us through going and slowing to...
- [Continental Rubber Queen 2.4 2010](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/wheels/continental-rubber-queen-2-4-2010/) - The 2.4 Rubber Queen was an easy choice to make for the Mega, we wanted a tyre that was tough and grippy, and the Rubber Queen is just that. At well over a kilo per tyre the 2.4 is quite heavy, but as we were mostly going down that didn’t bother us. The added advantage of running it tubeless also ensured we should lessen the risk of pinch flats and punctures. At the Mega The conditions for grip were tough, the trails in Alp D’Huez were about as varied as you could get. At the top of the race it was all snow, then they had to deal with wet rock and finally dry and dusty conditions and even mud at the bottom of the course. We lost the front end a bit in the dust, but it was about as loose as you could get in terms of the...
- [Continental Rubber Queen 2010](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/tyres/continental-rubber-queen-2010/) - The Rubber Queen is new from Continental and it is attracting a lot of attention right now. Billed by some as the ultimate freeride tyre we felt we had to put it through it’s paces! We tested both the 2.2 and 2.4 versions and they both used the excellent Black Chilli compound, which has become a favourite of many riders. The tyres come up a little large for their stated size and while the 2.2 is obviously smaller it is still quite a high volume affair. The 2.4 is simply huge though in comparison. Both feature the Apex sidewall, which is designed to reduce pinch flats. We had the UST versions and the weight of the 2.4 version is quite high, making it more of a downhill affair. But then a tyre that size should really be used for gravitational riding anyway! The tread pattern is fairly widely spaced with...
- [Rad8 MTB Glasses 504 MTB Photochromic 2017](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/glasses/rad8-mtb-glasses-504-mtb-photochromic-2017/) - Rad8 might not be your first thought for eyewear, but the small British company is making a fair bit of noise about their glasses. From a desire to have glasses that 'were comfortable, adapt to the light changes of a trail and offer protection from the trail hazards' Rad8 was born. They have a range of glasses and lenses on offer, including prescription for those needing magnification. These here are the 504 MTB with their photochromic lenses featuring a full frame, but a half frame is available too. Initial inspection showed a solid construction with good hinges, but with no adjustment on the legs or nose to suit one's face. Nose pads and legs are rubberised for grip and feel comfortable and the legs are straight, relying on squeezing your head rather than hooking over your ears. They are relatively light, and the branding and colours are minimal so you...
- [SixSixOne Recon Knee Pad 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/protection/body-armour/sixsixone-recon-knee-pad-2018/) - Designed as a minimalist protection pad, the Recon aims to offer enough padding to be worth wearing whilst also being comfortable and flexible. Built to be worn all day, they should be a fit-and-forget piece of kit. The protection comes in the form of Poron XRD foam which has an open cell structure that gives a flexible material able to take multiple beatings. The Recon is super light, backed with a Lycra style sock with a gap around the back of the knee for maximum ventilation. No straps or Velcro are used, just the compression of the elastic in the pad. If you have the Evo shorts from 661 then these pads will clip in to them with the Padlock connection system that will prevent any gaps or sliding pads. On The Trail Tight and snug fitting, the pads slide on easily and feel at home around your knee. The...
- [Afton Shoes Keegan 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/clothing/shoes/afton-shoes-keegan-2018/) - When it comes to flat pedal shoes there is one brand in particular that immediately springs to mind; Five Ten. With their knowledge of climbing shoe rubber, Five Ten has carved a name as the go-to brand for flat pedal grip blended with casual styling. So how can a relative newcomer such as Afton Shoes dream to compete in a battle seemingly already won? The secret to many a success is to go back to basics and Afton have vowed to keep things simple with their range - for now at least - and you’ll find just two models in their product list; the clipless Vectal and the flat-pedal-specific Keegan we have here. In order to address the Five Ten shaped elephant in the room Afton have taken a highly commendable technical approach to proceedings with the Keegan. By adding a mono-directional shank to the outsole Afton has sought to...
- [BBB Cycling Scope 1500 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/lights/bbb-cycling-scope-1500-2018/) - BBB Cycling started out as a small company in 1998, and has since grown to an international scale. Their ambition is to provide quality products, while keeping modest prices in mind. The Scope 1500 is the first light that BBB have designed that is intended for off-road use; it is the perfect companion on technical terrain, with a mammoth 1500 lumens to light the way. The external battery pack allows for individual preference in regard to mounting options, with the potential for the light to be used both on your helmet and your handlebars. The Scope 1500 also boasts a rapid charging time of only three hours, making it ideal for some spontaneous night time riding! On The Trail The light comes with two mounts that allow for optimum functionality and adaptability when out on the trail. The handlebar mount cleverly protrudes and centralises, giving the beam clearance over the...
- [Squirt Cycling Products Bio-Bike Cleaner 2018](https://www.imbikemag.com/reviews/accessories/cleaning-products/squirt-cycling-products-bio-bike-cleaner-2018/) - South African brand Squirt make a small range of products based on their successful wax based lube. They also make tyre sealant and bike wash, which we have here in the form of the Bio-Bike Cleaner. As the name suggests, it is biodegradable, water-based (like most cleaners) and is non-caustic or corrosive, however, they still don't recommend putting it in your eyes or eating it. The packaging is functional rather than stylish, with little in the way of fancy marketing that makes cleaning products look like cosmetics. The quantity is small, only 500ml and features a robust spray nozzle looking dangerously purposeful like some industrial cleaning fluid. In Use The functional look is backed up with a powerful spray and some of the most impressive cleaning I have witnessed. Sprayed onto a bike and left for a few minutes the effects were clear, and after a gentle rinse, there was...

Merida decided to launch their new ONE-SIXTY and ONE-FOURTY platforms at the Merida Ex event, with a special invite to journalists to attend on the Wednesday and Thursday before the race to throw a leg over the new steeds from the German powerhouse. I always enjoy a bike launch where there is less chat and more riding, and that was the format for the event, arriving at 4 pm on Wednesday, setting up the Ford Transit Trail adventure van and then jumping on the bike at 5 pm for a ride. I was fortunate enough to chat set up with Stephan Seitz, one half of the design duo for the platform alongside Tim Dosenbier, and he gave me a brief rundown of what to expect before we headed off....
- [Swipe Right For Adventure – Ford's New Transit Custom Trail Concept Vehicle](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/swipe-right-for-adventure-fords-new-transit-custom-trail-concept-vehicle/) - We've been working with Ford for almost ten years, a relationship that started when we saw the all-new Ford Transit Custom on the M25 while driving to Wales in our somewhat beaten-up old van. The original design was a massive head turner, especially at a time when Ford were known as white vans for builders. The enormous success of the Ford Transit Custom is a testament to that design. After turning our heads on the motorway, we sparked up a relationship that has grown over the last nine years, from the original short-term loans to longer-term vehicles that suited our needs of the time. Along the way, we've driven cars across Finland and been taken round the track at Goodwood in a classic GT40. Working with the Ford Press Team has been an absolute pleasure, and while we don't see them all that often, it's always a pleasure when we...
- [The New Ford Raptor - The Ultimate MTB Vehicle?](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/the-new-ford-raptor-the-ultimate-mtb-vehicle/) - The all-new Ford Raptor is a beast of a vehicle, with heaps of road presence; it's also perfect for trips to the mountains with your bike. With unreal off road capabilities; it could easily shuttle you and your mates up and down that mountain too! This is the love child of the popular Ranger truck combined with the DNA for the Ford RS performance range. In short, the Raptor is a performance truck, and if you are wondering why you need one of those in the current fuel crisis, read on. OK, I'm not going to convince you here that 28mpg is a good thing in the current climate heck, it's not even good for the climate, but we are still in 2022. While everyone would like an electric vehicle, the Cyber Truck is still a long way from delivery, and so is the F150 Lightening (Ford's electric truck available...
- [Betting On Bikes - Verbier's Road To Bike Mecca Status](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/betting-on-bikes-verbiers-road-to-bike-mecca-status/) - The Swiss alps have always been one of the world's top mountain biking destinations, ever since people had the bright idea of taking bicycles off road. The trail network currently in place is the heritage of the country's roots in high alpine farming. For centuries people and livestock moved between lower and higher pastures, creating a gigantic network of single and doubletrack. Besides the traditional trail network, the Alpine country has an extensive history in skiing. For many years, snow enthusiasts have been sliding down on the alpine pastures in wintertime, while using the gondolas and chair lifts to get back to the top. With the mountain bike craze kicking off in the late nineties, many of these resorts saw a great opportunity to expand the tourist season. It saw the rise of countless Bikeparks like Champery, Davos, Lenzerheide and many more. There is one valley in particular however, that...
- [UCI DH World Cup 2019 Final Results: Leogang](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/uci-dh-world-cup-2019-final-results-leogang/) - The Leogang Bike Park track, although sometimes criticised for a lack of technicality, is known for its staggering speeds and seldom fails to produce captivating battles. Here is all you need to know: Australia’s Tracey Hannah and France’s Loïc Bruni took their respective elite class victories amid a thrilling third round of the Mercedes-Benz UCI Downhill World Cup in Leogang, Austria. In the elite women’s race, New Zealand’s Kate Weatherly took the hot seat early on with a superb run. Marine Cabirou, one of the emerging French talents, crashed out from a good position to leave the Kiwi’s first top-flight podium looking like more of a reality. Germany’s Nina Hoffman, who had grabbed her own first top-three finish at the previous round in Fort William, was the first to pip her time. Rachel Atherton, the defending champ, crashed high on the course and was over 20 seconds back at the...
- [Mountain Biking In Florida? No Way!](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/mountain-biking-in-florida-no-way/) - Everyone knows Florida has Disney World, golf courses and white sandy beaches, but mountain biking? Not far from Tampa is the Alafia River State Park, a scenic gem nestled near suburban Hillsborough County. Up until the 1960s, the park and surrounding areas were strip mined for phosphates, resulting in some of the most radical elevation changes in the state. In the subsequent decades, the region remained mostly undeveloped, leaving the indigenous flora and fauna to reclaim the area. Tall ridge lines left behind by strip mining drop off into green, murky swamps. Wildlife flourished over time as deer, turtles, rabbits, hawks, fish and alligators proliferated and eventually became protected by the state park system. Eventually, it became home to the Alafia MTB Trail System. In the 1990s, a few certifiably crazy mountain bikers led by Wes Eubank stood on these ridgelines and, where others saw swamps with large alligators, they...

My first memory of Menorca was as a small child, where my attention was captured more so by sand castles than cycling. Fast forward thirty-something years, and the lure of winter sun - together with a feast of technical trails - saw my name added to the start list for Camí de Cavalls Epic 360. With the dreaded gloom of Scottish winter on its way - my good (and long-suffering) friend Erin didn’t need much convincing to join me for the adventure. Now - stage racing is a tough game and preparation is key. A text from Erin shortly after confirmed Menorca wasn’t famous solely for its beguiling beaches - it was somewhat legendary when it...

You'll thank us one day! For beginners and casual cycling enthusiasts, endurance can be quite a challenge because it requires some degree of consistency. Even more, when you start looking for advice in this area, you’ll learn that almost everyone seems to have an opinion. The good news is that you don’t need to follow a strict pedaling schedule and you don’t need to do everything the so-called specialists preach. Each cyclist has a unique rhythm, which means you should take every piece of advice and make it your own. To this extent, we did some browsing and found the...

Here's team rider Peg Leyland with the words and pictures that just might well inspire you to take up this challenge for yourself. Go to it... In terms of tempting mountain bikers to visit, New Zealand really has its bases covered. From the single track mecca of Rotorua (not to mention Nelson, Queenstown, Wellington, Christchurch…) to the great rides dotted all over the place; from the Tour Aotearoa bike-packing route from top to bottom, to Crankworx – what more could you want? Well, the mountain bikers’ smorgasbord at the bottom of the globe now includes a cross country stage race to rival the best in the world. The Pioneer takes place in the magnificent Southern Alps and covers 424km and...

That’s not always a good thing though, as this list of the Top 5 Worst MTB Gifts will show. Ever opened up a gift on Christmas day only to baulk in horror at the lamentable contents? Perhaps you’ve received one of Granny’s ubiquitous knitted sweaters, a pair of branded Les Gets Y-fronts from a drunk uncle, or a Lady Gaga t-shirt in XXL from your little sister! Undoubtedly we've all been there and it’s equal parts tragic and funny at the same time. Actually, it’s mostly tragic. You’d think that having a clear obsession with mountain biking would lead to some pretty sweet gifts being purchased by your family and friends on your behalf. How could anyone possibly...

IMB speak to certified strength and conditioning specialist, Aaron Barnett to learn more about the kind of training you can do during the winter months to maintain and improve condition in the core and legs... It’s the cold season, depending on where you are in the world, which means snow and rain are probably coming. Although the winter presents me with some of my favorite sports (Snowboarding and Skiing), it also forces me to hang my bikes up and leave the trails for the lifts. I’m sure many of you have this same experience yet you probably notice a day trip to the ski resort doesn’t happen quite as often as that after-work trial ride on your bike. Instead of reverting to the couch and a bag of chips, how about we hit the gym for some workouts designed...

IMB sent its battle-hardened endurance athlete, Hannah Attenburrow to investigate... The Carpathian MTB Epic is the first multi-stage competition in Romania. The four day event started with a fast and technical Prologue, which determined the start order and then only the next day the first Stage of Carpathian MTB Epic 2018, was upon us! The start was a hive of activity. Rollers buzzing, drones above, capturing every moment and anxious riders getting into their starting boxes.

- [Common Mountain Biking Accidents and How to Escape Them](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/common-mountain-biking-accidents-and-how-to-escape-them/) - Mountain bike injuries can occur even to the most experienced riders. There are a few studies which show the type of injuries and their occurrence rate. A review of 898 injury cases in the in Canada’s British Colombia found that most of the serious injuries were fractures. 75% of the fractures were to the upper body. A complementary study made by the National Interscholastic Cycling Association found that head trauma and brain injuries were also common among the cases which needed medical intervention. So how can these injuries be avoided? Broken Clavicle The Clavicle or the Collarbone is often broken during mountain biking. Its risks increase during downhill sessions. In conditions of speed, the rider can fall on the outstretched hand. The force from the impact is then transmitted to the Collarbone which gets fractured. To limit and avoid the possibility of this injury, you need to pay special attention...

This was a totally original sand cycling expedition and a journey back in time through the heart of the Australian outback. This was an original, unprecedented journey along the world's oldest river, 90% without tracks - sand, stones, animal tracks... The ephemeral Finke River begins in the West MacDonnell Ranges and carves a convoluted path through spectacular gorges before meandering across the desert and disappearing into the sands of the Simpson, about 700km from it’s source. The Finke River, or Larapinta to the local Arrernte people, is the world’s oldest river (or thereabouts); parts of the course near the source in the West MacDonnell Ranges, are older than the range...

Women do not have longer legs and shorter bodies than men of the same height. In fact, women’s legs are the same length, but without wanting to state the obvious, they’re just not as tall. Finding that the average woman is 168cm in height, with arms on average 2cm shorter than their male equivalent, Canyon began work on changing the geometry of their women’s specific bikes to reflect this. They also realised that they needed to shift their focus to the small and extra-small frame sizes, which make up 77% of their sales to female riders in the MTB sector. So what did they do to the bikes? The most notable features are a...
- [The Psychology of Technique](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/the-psychology-of-technique/) - Often we see mountain bikers (I’m not talking about DH’s because they’re just nuts!) flying down a mountain, around switchbacks, going through single track though a forest with absolutely no fear, or going through a rock garden like it’s tarmac! How do they do this so fearfully, with so much confidence? In this article, I’ll look at the psychology of technique, and why some riders can go down hills and over obstacles fearlessly, while others cannot get over the fear attached to it. It’s a crucial element to mountain biking, and one that every rider who wishes to be successful, to perform at their best, or just for the sake of safety - needs to master. The obvious thought it that this ability comes from experience, and with that experience comes confidence and self-belief. They are self-assured of their ability, and therefore have no fear of confronting it throughout a...

- [Cape to Cape MTB: 10 Year Celebrations in Margaret River](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/cape-to-cape-mtb-10-year-celebrations-in-margaret-river/) - Battling travel bugs, Australasia’s biggest MTB multi-stage endurance race and the need to drink lots of wine, Cat Sutherland ventured to WA, Australia to take part in the tenth annual Cape to Cape epic! Very Superstitious As I stood pensively at the Heathrow flight gate, suddenly it dawned on me. Today was Friday the 13th; a day famed for superstition and the propensity for bad luck. A near miss of my connecting flight, lost baggage and the stark realisation I'd forgotten a visa, may count as such. Nonchalantly, I'd mocked the decision to fly out on this day. I was heading to Western Australia for my final race - the 10th edition of Cape to Cape MTB. As I paced the floor, I wholeheartedly began to regret my choice of departure date. Thankfully, Etihad staff were intent on getting me on-board following a disastrous start at Edinburgh airport. Once securely in...

Park City lies east of Salt Lake City in the western state of Utah. Surrounded by the craggy Wasatch Range, Park City and neighbouring Deer Valley is a mountain sports playground. What would the World’s first Gold Standard Mountain Bike destination have in store?

This was the first mountain biking playground I visited in Utah and it did not disappoint. The hard clay packed earth showed no sign...
- [Untamed Trails in Romania: Racing The Carpathian MTB Epic](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/untamed-trails-in-romania-racing-the-carpathian-mtb-epic/) - Never one to pass up an opportunity for wild nights out - usually on a remote and lonely mountainside somewhere in a deepest, darkest wilderness - Cat Sutherland took to the trails of Romania to feast on a grueling diet of altitude gain, river crossings and wild descents... Lying in bed and close to sleep, I leapt out of my skin at the sounds of thunder; the entire room a bright, white light. Alone in my room, I listened to the vicious fight between animated clouds in the Romanian sky. How apt. I didn’t think it was appropriate to let on I was in fact Scottish and accepted their kind request, matching their pace back to the finish for the final time. I was in Dracula country. I’d been warned of unruly Romanian drivers but now my mind turned to blood-thirsty legends lurking in the dark. Hearing another rumble, I...
- [The Unstoppable Women of MTB: Downhill](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/the-unstoppable-women-of-mtb-downhill/) - With Bro culture at an all time high it's easy to filter out, or forget, the unstoppable rise of women in mountain biking. In a new series James Swann points the spotlight at the awesome DH riders, enduro racers, and all round shredders who are paving the way for women in MTB. “You ride like a girl”. “Man up”. Think about it. It's not good is it? Despite the recent positive coverage and reaction towards females in sport, mountain biking is sadly still seen predominantly as a male dominated past time, perhaps due to its physically challenging and rugged nature, but almost certainly due to the lack of - albeit growing - coverage by the mainstream media on women’s mountain biking events and the gender stereotypes that predetermine which sports boys and girls should be doing from a young age. Seated in cultural history, social systems and language, the portrayal...

Not too hot, not too cold. The sun is shining, and a nice breeze is blowing. So instead of sweating it out on the treadmill at the gym, you opt to take your exercise routine outdoors. Whether you’re hiking a mountain, marathon training, or just taking your pup for a walk, exercising outside has a lot of advantages. For starters, outdoor workouts are just more enjoyable because they feel less routine. You also breathe better air, burn more calories, and soak up more Vitamin D. While the rewards of outdoor exercise are many, there are also some risks associated with working out outside. From heat exhaustion to wild animal encounters, you’ll be exposed to potential hazards you’d never encounter at the gym.

But what are all of those numbers and names, which is the best mountain bike tyre for the job, why so many to choose from, and why are they called 'tires' in the US? To help you answer these questions we take a look at what you need to know when choosing your next set of rubber. Prepare to get a grip. Often overlooked as a component of significance, tyres perform one of the most important duties on a mountain bike, providing both the grip required for successful turning and traction between bike and ground for effective propulsion. So often our tyres are taken for granted and stock rubber is run continually all year round, no matter the conditions of the earth we’re riding on. Yet there are so many tyre options out there that knowing what type to run...

Ewen Turner found time between gorging himself silly on the finest fayre to actually do some racing in the new DMR EX, held in Exmoor last week. DMR Bikes Presents The EX I feel like in the UK at least, while the Enduro bubble may not have burst, it has certainly deflated somewhat. Races have been so numerous that riders have been spoilt for choice, with events every weekend, but rising to the top of the pile has not been the most prestigious events, but those with a combination of the best trails, and the the best atmosphere. The three day format of blind racing for the EX has taken the lead from classic European events such as the Trans Provence and the Trans Savoie, and although...

- [Smith 2017 Eurobike](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/smith-2017-eurobike/) - Smith had a much larger presence at the show this year, reflecting their efforts into the bike industry. 2 years ago they burst onto the protectives scene with the Forefront helmet. This year they have the Rover as a cost based lid for bikers in addition to the Forefront as well as new Chromapop lenses on their goggles and glasses to help you see even more when you are riding. Rover Helmet The Rover is a new price point lid from Smith; it offers excellent protection, including to the back of the head. Unlike the Forefront it doesn't use a full Aerocore inner shell. Instead, Smith did loads of research and added this extra protection in the places you need it most. Targeting what they call important zonal impact areas. This is combined with the AirEvac ventilation and VaporFit adjustable fit system to create a great helmet packed with technology...

Also, the new moto-inspired GRIP damper gets added to the forks while support for the new Boost 110 front axle standard is added too. Transfer Seatpost The new dropper post is cable actuated, unlike the hydraulic system used by some other brands.

And they don't come much more hardcore than the latest DMR Trailstar, packing a long, low and slack Cro-mo frame combined with some rock munching components. Ewen Turner drops the bomb on the new XL sizing. The weekend saw me plummeting the steep hillsides of Exmoor as part of the inaugural DMR EX Enduro, 3 days of good times and great riding in the South West of the UK. A chance discussion back at Eurobike had my attention drawn once again to the DMR Trailstar, which seemed to have subtly expanded its proportions from last year. What I was looking at was the brand new extra large frame, the only one in existence, and that got me thinking. A few weeks later and I found myself entered into the hardtail category on board the mighty EX-tra large Trailstar, tricked out with...

Will the fire-breathing, mid-size-wheeled monster slay our test pilot, or will he saddle it up and ride it to glory? Flaming Flyer With 29ers becoming the bike of choice for the budding enduro/trail rider, the 650b wheel is reinventing itself in the form of the mega/super/monster enduro bike. Call it what you will, but these bikes are machines set to get the pulse racing both on and off the bike. Pivot are having a bit of a renaissance this year, first with the Switchblade, and now with the Firebird, both benefiting hugely from Pivot's updated geometry and sizing, putting a significant chunk of extra reach on its frames, making them longer than ever before. The prospect of riding a large pivot (I'm an XL usually)...

It’s 6 p.m. on Friday evening and desk jockeys key in final numbers, shop owners lock up and here I sit, deep in the Santa Cruz mountains, talking story with a group of middle aged shredders that virtually ooze stoke - my weekend has already begun.

- [Zerode 2017 Eurobike](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/zerode-2017-eurobike/) - We first came across this bike when IMBs roving correspondent Graham Beaumont came back from Kiwi-land with tales of the Zerode factory and of a bike with no rear mech. It turns out he hadn't had one to many stubbys and was in fact telling the truth, and was speaking of the new Zerode Taniwha made by the main man Rob Metz. This is an important bike, which could pave the way for more acceptance of gear box bikes which up to now have been treated with scepticism by many. The Taniwha (pronounced tan-i-fa) is the successor to the more outlandish downhill bike. It's full carbon 160mm single pivot travel and a 12 speed 600% gearbox controlled by grip shift shifter. It's looks share more than a passing resemblance to other classic enduro bikes, which can only be a good thing, using tried and tested geometry rather than anything too...

The South African corporation makes protective kit for many sports including snowsports, motocross and of course mountain biking. They may well be best known for their Leatt-Brace but the new range of helmets, clothing and pads vastly increases their offer to the discerning mountain biker. First up we have the much anticipated DBX Enduro and All-Mountain helmets, both featuring Leatts new 360 Turbine Technology. These small Armourgel pads stiffen on impact whilst also moving laterally to absorb rotational forces. The All-Mountain model is a classic half lid, where as the Enduro, which is based on the same lid, has a removable chin bar. This chin bar clips on with two simple clips and converts to a full-facer in virtually no time at all. Other details for both helmets comprise of 18 vents, Fidlock magnetic closure, custom...

The star of the show was the new concept e-bike, but the rest of the range was looking prime too allongside a couple of race bikes from some pretty special riders. Working round with stand we have the Speedfox, a bike for which very few riders wouldn't be able to swing a leg over and have a good time. With 130mm of travel balanced front and rear it comes in the 3 versions as with the rest of the range, the 01 is full carbon, the 02 carbon with alu rear end and 03 is full aluminium.

A more modern look to the logo and branding accompanies the Selva fork, Cura brakes and Linea wheelset.

Covering all aspects of cycling, they have a more defined mtb range for 2017 covering helmets, eyewear and clothing but also have an innumerable number tools and accessories. The two mtb helmets are the Varallo and the new for 2017 Kite. Both have removable visors which, if you ever needed to go undercover as a roadie, look the part so you can get your lycra on and hit the tarmac.

- [Merida Bikes 2017 Eurobike](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/merida-bikes-2017-eurobike/) - You need-ah some Merida in your life! Merida had bought up some serious floor space in the halls of Freidrichshafen to enable them to display their huge range of bikes. This year has seen some big changes to the mtb line up and this was a chance for them to show them off to the world. The range now has the imaginatively named but informative 120, 140 and 160. These numbers obviously correspond to rear travel and give a fair indication of what they are aimed at. Merida make some fairly hardcore XC bikes, so these three fit into the more trail and enduro range where riders probably wont be wearing lycra. What is interesting is the geometry and suspension tweaks to make these serious contenders in the trail/enduro market. With longer top tubes and slacker angles these are on trend and capable bikes with a really great lines and...
- [EVOC 2017 Eurobike](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/evoc-2017-eurobike/) - When is a pack not a pack? when it's an EVOC pack. Purveyors of the finest kit carrying solutions, their feature laden packs and bags have everything you could possibly need for transporting those things you just can't leave behind. Enduro racers maybe shunning packs in favour of strapping sandwiches and tools to their expensive carbon frames but the back pack is still king if you want be fully equipped for a day out. The news from EVOC come in the form of Climate Control (CC) system which has been added to their lightweight packs in 6, 10 and 16 litre formats. CC uses the Air Pad system to keep the pack away from the back slightly and allow air to flow easily, between the pads, keeping you cool as a cucumber (unless of course that cucumber is from a Media centre sandwich). The pads are non absorbent so they...
- [Yeti Cycles 2017 Eurobike](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/yeti-cycles-2017-eurobike/) - Oh gosh, we're having a bit of a moment. Just look at these gorgeous bikes! Yeti always leaves you drooling round their stand, a brand dripping with heritage and class they have a truly desirable range of machines. For 2017 they've introduced a two different frame constructions within each model, the top end 'Turq' and the slightly heavier 'Carbon' models. Just to be clear, both frames are carbon, but the Turq uses more advanced materials and a fancier lay-up of the carbon making it lighter by 250g. Both styles share the same mould, and therefore geometry, but the Turq has a few more heritage finishing touches in an understated, you know it's there but you have to loook for it way. Super Cool. With the two different frames Yeti is able to keep the spec high on lower end models and the price jump between models smaller. The SB5 was...
- [Propain Bikes 2017 Eurobike](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/propain-bikes-2017-eurobike/) - Propain in the membrane, Propain in the brain! With their relatively small stand and chilled out staff, you'd be forgiven for not noticing quite how rowdy the Propain bikes range is. The main excitement is centred around the Tyee, Spindrift and Rage, these three bikes and all design for maximum trail thrashing fun, and serious speed. The Tyee is now available in carbon fibre as the Tyee CF and is split into two models, the 160mm enduro and the 145mm All mountain flavour. Both use the same frame but with different shocks to give a slightly different geometry and ride feel. The Spindrift was dropped like a bomb a few weeks back with team rider Phil Atwill riding it like a man possessed. With 180mm front and rear, this is another of the new breed of 'Super Enduro' bikes which have the capability to deal with any terrain and the...
- [The Coffee Of Eurobike](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/the-coffee-of-eurobike/) - Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee...give us more...need more...sleeeeeeep. Nothing will get you through an 18 hour drive across Europe and 3 days of non stop work like coffee. Traipsing the halls of eurobike for hours on end, it's a constant battle to stay alert to not only the best bikes, but avoiding the strange array of wheeled vehicles tying to kill you, or even worse, then endless number of people towing luggage on wheels. This year alongside the bikes it was important to track down the best espresso, flat whites and cappuccinos the grand halls had to offer. First up is Suntour, with a fine set-up banging out espressos to keep their staff and visitors wide-eyed and focused on the latest in damper tech. Coffee Consumed- engineering precision espresso Scott did a great on job on their enormous stand, it felt more like a full coffee bar with barista looking...

- [Endura 2017 Eurobike](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/endura-2017-eurobike/) - We have enduring love for these guys! Scottish brand Endura had a fully air-conditioned booth at Eurobike to keep them cool in the heat rarely experienced by those north of the border. The famous Scottish weather does mean, however, that Endura produce some of the best kit and clothing for when the conditions turn less than tropical. Once I had stopped shaking from the incredible coffee on their stand, I had a look at what's new. Koroyd is a material we have seen in the new back protector packs released earlier this year, and can either be described as something resembling the work of bees, or a bunch of drinks straws stuck together. Both of these analogies do a dis-service to what is a pretty special material, being extremely light, and extremely strong, it's certainly doing great things for Endura's safety kit. The New MT500 helmet takes a traditional helmet...
- [Dainese 2017 Eurobike](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/dainese-2017-eurobike/) - With 2 back to back world cup wins for Danny Hart, Dainese (rhyming with easy) are in a pretty good place at the moment. Fortunately Danny has been on fire recently and had no need to test the incredible protection power available from the Italian brand. For 2017 Dainese are all about their new material 'Pro Armor' which is based on a fractal pattern with incredible breathability thanks to being mostly made of holes! Don't let that fool you though, the geometric pattern gives strength in all the right places and is pre shaped to fit over knees and elbows and provide a high level of protection with minimal weight. The Trail Skins 2 Knee Guards is a successor to the previous Trail Skins and features the Pro Armor to give super mobility with a low profile design that can be worn all day. Totally pedal friendly, these are a...

- [Essentials: What To Take In Your Pack In Winter](https://www.imbikemag.com/features/essentials-what-to-take-in-your-pack-in-winter/) - Heading out into the wilderness for some sweet MTB action but unsure of what you should pack in your rucksack before a winter ride?

Questions such as what to wear, where to ride and how many daylight hours are available for post-ride cleaning permeate the thoughts of even the least experienced among us. And then there’s the question of what to carry in your pack. It’s all too easy to maintain the default kit list you’ve been rocking all summer of the bare essentials for trail fixes, snacks and hydration, but as anyone who’s been benighted ‘pon a hillside will tell you - it’s better to have something and not need it than to need it and not have it (thanks also to mums...
