While a bit too pricey to be a Best mountain bikes for under £3,000 contender, Sonder's Cortex GX Eagle AXS is a short travel, 29" trail bike that looks to pack quite the value punch. That's because it's kitted with RockShox Ultimate suspension and SRAM's wireless AXS shifting for just £3,700. Here's a look at the bike ahead of a full review.

Gelu Carbon Creations, a brand best known for its boutique and incredibly lightweight carbon saddles and componentry, has turned its hand to a whole frameset, creating a bike that weighs just a little more than seven kilograms.

Santa Cruz has launched the next generation of the Nomad, a long-travel bike that's built to be flung down descents and even roll up to the start line of a couple of races. For this iteration, like the recent Santa Cruz Hightower LT, the new bike gets a Glovebox, some geometry adjustments, and an improvement to its suspension platform.

The Race Face Ruxton trousers are the brand's best MTB pants and are designed to be rugged enough for all manners of gravity riding. They’re simple, yet breathable and certainly comfortable though their simplicity makes them seem a little pricey.
