Efficient, versatile and fun; they’re the culmination of these terms. Even once you think they’re at their limit in terms of capabilities; they’ve got more in reserve. So why are they still overshadowed by enduro bikes? We’re talking trail bikes, the true workhorses of the mountain bike world. Whether it’s for a quick blast after work or back-to-back hard days crossing the Alps, the spectrum for these bikes is huge and that’s exactly why they’re often to go-to bike for people looking for the perfect all-rounder. We took eight of the most exciting trail bikes for 2015 to France and put them through their paces under the beating hot sun.

Rip up the trails in British Columbia just once in your life – that has to the the dream of every biker. One that will be denied to long term tester Andi for a while yet, but he still considers himself pretty lucky. After all he can hammer the brand new Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt BC Edition over the trails for a whole season – at least that should bring a bit of Canadian flair to his world.

Understatement is over: the GHOST RIOT LT 8 LC really stands out! That’s mostly down to the luminous green colour and the futuristic angular frame form, but hidden below the striking colour are some exciting surprises….
