Affordable doesn't have to mean dull. Check out the new Canyon Spectral AL 140mm trail bikes Expensive carbon bikes grab the headlines, but let’s face it, aluminium is still king when it comes to affordability. Which is why the new Canyon Spectral AL shares the same geometry, handling and attitude as Canyon’s more expensive carbon Spectral range. So let’s start with some numbers.

Having got our grubby mitts on the Amflow PL Carbon, the first thing we did was make an unboxing video, stick the bike on the scales, and measure the travel and geo. So how accurate are the quoted numbers? What did you get for Christmas? I hope it was what you’d asked Santa for. Me? Well, I got the hottest new e-bike on the market – the Amflow PL Carbon, with the DJI Avinox motor for a longterm test.

Will Forbidden be the first independent brand to use the powerful DJI Avinox e-bike system? The word on the street is that DJI never intended to start the Amflow bike brand. Seems crazy, right? But when all of the established mountain bike brands refused to partner with DJI for the launch of its impressive Avinox Drive System, it was left no choice but to go it alone.

The original Calibre Bossnut was a brilliant example of how to put together a capable and fun-to-ride MTB at an obtainable price tag. The 2025 version has recently dropped and I was seriously impressed when I tested it. This new Bossnut is a hell of a bike at its usual £1,499 price, but with this massive £500 Black Friday price cut, no other MTB is anywhere near close when it comes to bangs per buck. Save £500 and buy the Calibre Bossnut 2025 for just £999 at Go Outdoors.
