We trawled the length and breadth of Eurobike 2017 to find you the best most interesting mountain bikes at the show, these are the ones we are most keen to swing a leg over this year for reasons ranging from geometry to spec to looks alone!

We take a look at a range of new bike packing gear from Cambridge company, Passport Cycle Accessories. What does £145 provide when it comes to all the gear needed for a few days in the wilderness?

Back in July we checked out Saracen's new range of bikes to include a brand new Ariel and updates to the Kili Flyer trail bike and Myst DH rig. We took a very enjoyable ride on the new Alloy Ariel, it had to be prised from our Staff Writer's hands against feeble mumblings of "just one more run...."

Despite the big price tag when this Specialized S-Works Diverge rolled through the door we knew we had to show you! 

Back in July we were lucky enough to experience two exciting things. One, we visited Wales on a sunny day and two, the purpose of this visit was to check out the 2018 range of Saracen Bikes with the good people of Madison themselves. Meeting at Revolution Bike Park we were treated to a full day of uplifts aboard the bikes of our choice from the range, an appealing prospect to say the least!

Whilst we were away at Eurobike the test kit was piling up back at off-road.cc HQ! Once, we'd cleared our desks, well not Jon's (his is never clear), we got stuck into sorting through some of this weeks newest arrivals. 

From the feedback we received last time we posted about Genesis, we reckon you really quite like this brand! It's without further ado then, that we will get on with the job in hand and tell you all about the new bikes in the 2018 range.

The Specialized Women's Grail Gloves are a thin, full finger mountain bike glove designed with the objective to alleviate hand numbness. 

Earmarked as the Land Rover Defender of the bike world, the Bombtrack Beyond sets out to be hardworking, dependable in a crisis and more importantly able to pull like a train over any terrain. 

The new Kona Process 153 has been long awaited, well it has in our office anyway and on seeing the press information about the brand new 2018 bike, we aren't disappointed. We are being treated to a Kona deluge, two materials to choose from, two wheel sizes and a brand new suspension platform, adding up to a whopping seven bikes to choose from and that's before we mention the burly 165.....
