We checked out Bergamont’s trail bike the Contrail Elite.

This 130mm 29er looks set to be suited well for all-around British hacking. Hacking? You know a bit of this, a bit of that, slam a rut here, lap of a trail centre there, and a few hucks to flat for good measure – hacking.

We like the badass air force one type of vibes off this bike. Subtle base colours and some kick-ass orange logos and flashes make for a modern paint job.

One thing we really liked about the Contrail was the “stash toolbox”. That includes a mini tool kit standard hidden in the frame. You will never have to ask your mate Dave to borrow his multi-tool again!
