Trail bikes are the bread and butter of the mountain bike world. The do-it-all daily drivers. The jacks of all trades, masters of many.
And in a time when it’s even more of a financial bind to have more than one bike, they are perhaps the ultimate one-bike quiver.
Safe to say, we love trail bikes and, for 2024, there’s a host of new and exciting bikes that have got us all hot and bothered. Check out the trail bikes we think are the hottest property for the coming year and let us know what you think.
Did we score an own-goal with our choices? Do you think trail bikes can be true quiver killers? Let us know your thoughts in the comments and check out the videos below for more mountain bike reviews, tips, shredding and opinions.

I was glad to see your comments on the Norco! I have the 2023 Norco Fluid FS A1, and I love that bike!!! It compliments my Norco Bigfoot 1S fat bike for winter and wet weather riding perfectly! Well produced video!

I would say that pivot and yeti both have 650b 160/140 bikes at the moment which out of the media world are actually doing pretty well as people move away from enduro bikes back to all day bikes that are light and just all round better for riding trails for a day.

Геометрия всё же отличается. Современные ниже, длиннее и угол заваленнее. Но в старом нормальная проводка тросов и это огромный плюс. Хорошо что они Rallon не испортили пока😂

Riding a new Scott Spark for about 6 months now, definitely like the remote lockout levers. Makes such a difference to go from full squish to controlled to near rigid. And I prefer to make that change myself.

@bikeradar 5 ай бұрын

If you can get used to it, they are nice to have! I still think lockouts should be hooked up to a twist-loc style remote, they play so much better with dropper remotes

@johnlesoudeur3653 5 ай бұрын

I have a Scott Spark RC and have done just that...replaced the Scott Twinlock with a Rock shox Twistloc Ultimate. Shimano dropper lever. Much prefer it ergonomically and a cleaner look.@@bikeradar

If there is a new Epic Evo on the way, it will likely be more of a downcountry bike than a trail bike. Though maybe a Stumpjumper is on the way?

I hate with the bike industry tries to fix problems that dont exist (headset cable routing).

@howarddavies136 5 ай бұрын

I like the way you phrased this because I'm now genuinely trying to figure out what they were thinking, and I'll be honest, I'm struggling. I thought perhaps it was to limit the number of holes in the frame to make manufacturing easier, but is that really any easier than just doing external routing and attaching lugs to the frame. Internal routing is something I'm fine with, particularly on Di2/AXS bikes because brake hoses seldom need replacing, unlike gear cables. But headset routing? Really? Why make it so much more difficult to do the headset bearings? Is it so shops can upsell you on new gear cables at the same time? Or perhaps increase the labour charge? I don't know, it just seems silly on anything other than Olympic-level XC race bikes chasing aero gains and even then it is such a marginal gain.

@bikeradar 5 ай бұрын

Arguably the most controversial trend since the last hub-standard change!

@johnlesoudeur3653 5 ай бұрын

I have a Scott spark and after stripping it right down and replacing all cables and the upper/lower headset bearings I found it pretty easy. Only irritating thing is to disconeect rear brake hose but not a big deal...and how often are headset bearings replaced!@@howarddavies136

@@flow2tech And you think paying a lot of money is the way to get fit? 😂 Omg you are really brainwashed by marketing. If it has pedals and you ride it hard enough, you will get fitter. Actually the less efficient the bicycle is, the more exercise you get for the same distance and time. And if you only cared about fitness, all you needed was a pair of running shoes to achieve results. Fast more expensive bicycle is justified when you actually compete or need to keep up with others on group rides. For pretty much everyone else, it's just a status symbol, people compensating for something else they are lacking.

Headset cable routing gets your bike automatically disqualified from consideration. I hope this fad passes quickly. It’s the answer to the question that nobody asked.
