You can’t stop change but some things never change. A simple recipe of Craig Evan’s steez-at-pace riding combined with some Steel City Media motion picture majesty will never go out of style. Late last year, right before Craig went into surgery to fix a niggling injury, he and Joe Bowman went out into the local woods for a thrash about on the latest Santa Cruz Carbon Chameleon. The duo have a history of hardtail hooning videos and this is just the latest chapter.

In the latter part of last year Vitus launched their revamped range of bikes, including some big spec updates for both the full suspension and hardtail mountain bikes. We tested the Vitus Sentier 27 VRS recently and now it’s the turn of the Sommet 27 enduro bike.

There has been an influx of gravel bikes in at off-road.cc HQ recently, and whilst last week we were all about the alloy hardtail, this week we and getting set for some spring adventure rides.

We've just added another bike to our winter hardtail testing line up, this time it's a Nukeproof Scout 275 Sport, a sub 1k hardtail that is the cheapest bike in the range of 27.5" and 29er hardtail bikes.
