WILD TRAILS, DYFI VALLEY
Wild trails have existed as long as mountain bikes have, carving a niche of convenience and great riding through the UK. They are the backbone of mountain biking for thousands of riders, but live a charmed life, always under the threat of destruction. Now though, Dave Evans from Bike Corris has hit upon a way to protect them, wrapping them in a fold of bureaucracy. We head to the Dyfi Valley in North Wales to find out how.

FIRST RIDES
At last Nukeproof has an e-bike, called the Megawatt – it’s based on the famous Mega enduro bike and adds Shimano’s EP8 motor to the mix. We find out if the performance proves just as electrifying. Plus first turns on the NS Bikes Define, a 170mmtravel mullet bike that boasts pedalling efficiency as one of its chief accomplishments. And the Liv Embolden, a women’s-specific full suspension bike for less than £2k, complete with flex-stay technology and 27.5in wheels.
