Saracen Tufftrax Disc review
The Saracen Tufftrax Disc has a quality 6061 aluminium frame that endows it with a smooth and rewarding ride. Shimano shifting adds to the quality.
Specialized Jynx Comp (2016) review
Good quality components but the ride quality is let down by the details
Kona Cinder Cone (2016) review
With its radically sloping top tube, it has good standover clearance, and a lighter, stiffer frame
B’twin Rafal 700 (2016) review
Lightweight, excellent wheels, amazing spec
Scott Scale 970 (2016) review
A 29er with a 100mm-travel fork, Maxxis Ikon tyres and an equally cross country/race focus
Cube AIM SL (2016) review
Hamstrung by its geometry, proportions and small volume tyres

In the £1,000 category of our Hardtail of the Year test, MBR reviews the Giant Talon 29er 1
Marin Bobcat Trail 9.5 (2015) review
The Marin Bobcat Trail promised a lot on paper but failed to shine in the £750 category of the Hardtail of the Year test
Kona Lava Dome (2015) Review

KTM Chicago Classic review
In its black and orange livery, the KTM Chicago Classic makes you think of motorcycles blasting though the desert at events like the Dakar rally.
Ghost Kato 2 (2016) review
The top-quality Ghost Kato 2 frame never has a chance to shine through
BMC Team Elite TE03 (2015) review
The BMC Team Elite is more of an old nag than a racing thoroughbred

The 650b hardtail that bucks the trend for 29in wheels on the XC race circuit.
