Giant
Giant has been committed to cycling and cycling culture for almost thirty years. Giant offer over 32 models to chose from in road bikes, mountain and lifestyle bike ranges. Not satisfied with being the world's most widely known bicycle brand, Giant is in constant pursuit of its vision of becoming 'The Best Bicycle Company in the World'.
The tough, fast and agile Trance is built for the Trail, it devours five-hour epics and weekend hammer-fests with ease! The Reign offers the ideal ride with its fully active and independent Maestro-Suspension allowing it to climb as well as it descends.

Specialized
Since the original Stumpjumper was launched 25 years ago, this US based company have been leading the field with their FSR design. Plush off-road travel from 4" XC bikes right up to 9" downhill monsters.

With an all-new chassis design that is lighter, more efficient, features a lower stand-over height and the same incredible handling, the completely redesigned Stumpjumper FSR continues to be best bike for the trails most of us ride, most of the time. The Enduro is all about attacking the small stuff, the big stuff and everything inbetween. Its adept FSR suspension and six inches travel make it the most confident rig for handling the whole mountain. The FSR XC has been at the top of the full suss game for a decade now and with good reason. It has brilliant (not to mention beautiful) minimalist geometry that has ensured that it's legions of fans have enjoyed finding the flow over rough terrain, conquered new trails and covered as much ground as possible. The Pitch is a whole new level of bike for Specialized. And you wouldn't know from riding it, as its evolved handling and suspension neutrality mirrors premium bikes. The only difference is a slightly heavier weight, but for the sake of a few lbs you save hundreds of pounds, making this an outstanding, affordable 'extreme XC/all-mountain' machine.

Scott
A very high quality Swiss company. Technology performance and design come together in some of the world's most innovative bikes. They are one of the market leaders in carbon frame technology, since the Endorhphin frame (their first full carbon) was introduced in '95 they have constantly pushed back the boundaries of what is possible. Their Spark LTD is currently the lightest full sus bike available.
The Spark 30 has something called a naked external frameset. It means it doesn’t have an aesthetic carbon layer on the outside of it's carbon frame, which will give you an idea of how light this bike is. This ridiculously lightweight bike isn’t fluffy though – it’s 4 inches of travel will soak up everything the trail offers.
The Gambler DH20, with it’s massive 9 inches of travel, are optimal toys for radical and fast downhill tracks. An ultra short top tube and a low centre of gravity make for a stable bike that's fun to blast down any trail…
