The Capra was a contender, but I'm not sure YT have a big enough advertising budget, so who won ?

Thats a 2013 review? Surely not from the Bike of the year 2014 test? Not saying it would be any different.Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.0

The BOTY was based on those that scored perfect 10's, that was the test where the Stumpy qualified, so as it was the 29er they should logically have used that for BOTY.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I see. I think.
Sounds like a good bike from that review. I liked the Evo when they came out with it back when 26ers were still normal.Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.0 -
OK, I was in the smoke today and parked myself in WH Smiths and read the magazine cover to cover 8)
One conclusion to be drawn is Canyon seem to be taking over. Two Canyons featured in the bike of the year short-list and there was a positive article about their new long term Spectral 6.9 29er. The same bike won the group test in the current issue of MBUK.0
