The most coveted of groupsets. Light, stiff and impeccably finished. Shimano XTR '1 X Trail' Drivetrain review
Whyte's best ever 160mm enduro mountainbike puts the British company near the top
Lesser known but certainly not less important. The X Fusion RV1 HLR is truly great DH fork.
If you're clipped in the Crank Brothers Mallet DH Race Pedals are the No 1 choice in downhill pedal. Simple.
Tough as hell, cool on the head, the Bell Super is our top all-mountain lid for 2016
The DMR Vault is a flat pedal you can bank on. A benchmark, part of the mountainbike furniture.
One mighty fine trail bike at an unbeatable price, the 2016 Canyon Spectral CF 9.0
Big tyres, long travel and lightweigh, the 2016 Scott Genius LT 700 Tuned Plus is one hell of a bike.
The 2016 RockShox Monarch Plus is a hard one to beat on value and reliability
Playing its part in big-hitting 160mm bikes the 2016 Fox 36 is one of the best in class
No bike has won people's hearts as much as the YT Capra CF Pro Race
Cut and coloured to perfection, the Hope Am/Freeride Stem is a super neat addition to your mountainbike set-up
There's got to be some give with the take and so the Thomson Titanium Flatbar allows a nice amount of flex to cushion the rider...
Four degrees up and eight degrees back, the Answer Pro Taper SL Carbon Bar is a beautifully shaped bar with a striking graphic
Nine degrees back and five degrees up is just fine. The Deity Black Label Bar is a key part of the furniture.
Innovative bar/stem combo from Tennessee cycle designers, the Pacenti PDent is one of our favourite Dirt 100 products.
For when you have to hold on extra tight, but still keep it light the trustworthy Integra downhill mountainbike stem from Renthal
More a case of friendly than fat, the Fatbar is reassuringly Renthal throughout
