There are a lot of bike launches going on at the moment, but there’s always room for one from Marin, which, despite its Californian roots, always has the UK in mind when designing its bikes, whether that’s in keeping lots of mud clearance, or in…

The 2021 Evil Offering is here – and the marketing blurb says ‘All hail, the Dark Lord of Singletrack’ so we’d better sit up and pay attention, eh? The Offering is just that big chunkier and slacker than the Following MB, a bike we’ve reviewed…

The new Canyon Stoic is an alloy hardtail aimed at delivering durability and value with good trail bike performance: ‘maximum fun for minimum price’ says the marketing. While Canyon’s press release says it’s for all levels of rider who want the hardtail experience, the price…

At a time where it seems that everyone’s attention is on bigger wheels and mullet bikes for more aggressive riding, Pivot is proudly sticking behind its burly new Mach 6 model for that kind of all-round fun behaviour. The Pivot Mach 6 boasts 160mm travel…

After a long time away, the Onza Porcupine has returned to the UK! OK, perhaps not quite in the form that you remember – those rounded knobbled weren’t really the greatest for directional grip, but who cared, back in the early nineties? Since those days,…

How do you motivate yourself to ride your mountain bike? It’s probably not something involving a skinsuit and aero helmet. But, that’s what got Rab Wardell riding his bike this year. He set himself the target of setting the fastest ever time on the West…

Gee Atherton is no stranger to massive gaps and big, big air, but the new Atherton Ridgeline might be the limit of what anyone can currently ride on a mountain bike. With the help of his brother Dan and a dedicated dig line, they’ve sculpted…

Last year, when we could go places and ride, I spent a week riding the trails in and around Whistler’s bike park on a Knolly Warden. That was a 27.5 long travel big trail bike. Today, Knolly have launched the Chilcotin, which is like a…

Regular readers of Singletrackworld.com will be familiar with this time of year. A Christmas themed set is built (I think we can all agree it has improved in quality over the years). Singletrack staff prepare to humiliate themselves on camera, often in a variety of…

Supermarkets aren’t often the sort of places that inspire creative thought. Though, smashing through them on a bike is certainly tempting – especially if you really just want to take your bike inside with you because you just need a pint of milk and some…

We’ve not seen a whole lot from Production Privée this year, but that’s not to say nothing has been going on behind the scenes. The last time we had any really big news from Production Privée was earlier in the year when it was announced…
