The Scott Ransom comes with 29in wheels as standard, but if you fancy a mullet, it can be ridden with a 27.5 rear wheel setup via a flip-chip in the chainstay. Carbon or alloy or both? The one we're featuring here is the top tier 900 RC model. It is the only Ransoms that is fully carbon - front and rear triangles - and as you can see, it has high end uncompromised build spec.
Eds Choice Hammerhead GPS

Could the new Hammerhead Karoo 3 rival the latest from Garmin and Wahoo? Chipps certainly thinks so. Chipps: “I had the previous Karoo 2 unit for 18 months and this new version answers nearly every niggle I had with what was already my favourite computer head unit. The Karoo 3 is intuitive to work with, the battery life and route accuracy is great and it has been simplicity itself to hook up and display no end of power meters, heart monitors, even SRAM AXS gear selections. The buttons have been made clickier over the last unit and there’s now a dedicated on-off button.

Saracen Ariel 30 Elite - Singletrack Editors' Choice 202...
2K views · Dec 13, 2024 singletrackworld.com
One of Hannah's picks for Singletrack Editors' Choice 2024. . Sometimes you get on a bike and find a million things to fiddle with and swap out before you can feel ‘right’. This is not one of them. Off the peg and from the get-go, I enjoyed riding the Ariel 30 Elite. There’s nothing on it that needs a swap, or getting used to, or a firmware update. Set up the suspension (also a no-drama experience) and ride. Clean bike, lube chain, ride, repeat. It’s not just all the components that have been well chosen. The frame design is sorted too. The alloy frame delivers a quiet, comfortable ride with no distracting rattles or flex, while a simple suspension layout nevertheless delivers a decent climbing platform, and a pile of fun on wriggling descents. . The colour might be the showiest thing about this bike, but it’s a lesson in less is more. Or perhaps more is more - this Elite model offers an extra 10mm of travel front and rear, making it a 130/140mm mullet bike in the medium size I’ve tested. Fox suspension with Fox 36 fok, useful tyres, DT Swiss wheels, Shimano XT groupset - it’s all good stuff without having bling on the top. Tons of function, tons of fun, this is a bike that makes you want to get out and ride, find playful lines, and puts a grin on your face. I don’t care if they’re calling it ‘double downcountry’ in the marketing department, it’s a proper trail bike for proper fun. .

Worx Hydroshot 56 Cordless Pressure Washer - Singletrack Edi...

One of Hannah's Editors' Choice Awards for 2024! . TLDR: This will make you not hate cleaning bikes. With the added extra ‘short’ lance, this becomes even more useful than it already is, as it will then fit in a bucket for easier packing. Being on a water meter has put me off traditional hoses and bike washers, but with this ‘fill a bucket’ option it’s much easier to monitor how much water you’re using. It also saves a world of faff with hose reels, turning on taps etc. Plus, away from home you can use any available water source, making it a handy addition at races and weekends away. My husband and I once even heated up some water, put it in the bucket, and had a warm ‘shower’ in a bike park car park. I only hope they don’t have security cameras. Easy to charge, with a battery that will also work on other Worx items if you want to mix and match. Makes bike washing (almost) fun. .

Editors' Choice - WTB Judge & Verdict Tyres
2K views · Dec 16, 2024 singletrackworld.com
Benji: "I’ve been a longtime fan of the previous WTB Verdict Wet as a winter slop front tyre but the brand’s recent rejigging of their casings and compounds has made me make the switch to the standard (faster rolling) Verdict paired with the new Judge tyre on the rear. In many ways, it seems really simple. Just take a pair of 3-season tyres and make them knobblier, right? Kinda, yeah. There’s a little bit more to it than that (winter tyres benefit from being a bit squarer in profile, for example) but let’s not go too far down that rubbery rabbit hole. This pairing grips well, clears well, lasts well, and rolls well (considering). In a market understandably dominated by Maxxis and Schwalbe for general duties, WTB is the new boss of winter ‘n’ wet."
Editors' Choice 2024 - OneUp 7050-T6 aluminium bar
2K views · Dec 20, 2024 singletrackworld.com
The excellent OneUp Aluminum Handlebar has been our go-to bar whenever we've needed to run a 35mm rise bar on... anything. "Bars are a key component on a bike and can change how a bike rides and feels. I’ve always been a fan of alloy bars over carbon (ride feel, durability etc.) and since getting a set of OneUp bars for review they’ve become my favourite set and replaced my trusty Burgtec go-to bars. The shape and sweep (800mm wide, 5°, upsweep, 8° backsweep) just feel ‘right’ and suit me, but it’s the general ride feel that is the most impressive. The ovalised shape genuinely adds an element of compliance to the ride, reducing vibrations and adding an element of damping. Goldilocks would be a good term. Not too stiff, not too flexy, just right. Yes, I would like a slightly higher version, but otherwise these are some of the best bars I’ve tried and I’ve no plan to replace them." - Ross For Editor's Choice Awards from the Singletrack team head to https://singletrackworld.com/editors-choice-2024/
