There are some that hide amongst us, lighter and stronger than the rest. No, we’re not talking about superheroes, we’re talking about trail bikes. These modern day legends have to be good at, well, everything – flying like Superman up the climbs, and hammering like Thor on the toughest of descents. We test 9 of the best 130 -140 mm trail bikes to weed out those with true power and those who are just mortals in fancy dress

Best in test: Ibis Mojo 3 XT 1x

Ibis Mojo 3 XT 1X | € 6,198 | 12.41 kg | 140 mm/ 130 mm
Ibis Mojo 3 XT 1x | € 6,198 | 12.41 kg | 140 mm/ 130 mm

The Mojo 3 is an outrageously good bike and steals the win in our group test. Striking the perfect balance between agile cornering and complete confidence at speed, it scored top marks with all our testers. The potential to run 2.8 tires on the standard Easton ARC30 wheelset make the Ibis Mojo 3 as versatile as it is brilliant.

Best value: Canyon Spectral CF 9.0 EX

Canyon Spectral CF 9.0 EX | € 4,199 | 12.87 kg | 150 mm / 140 mm
Canyon Spectral CF 9.0 EX | € 4,199 | 12.87 kg | 150 mm / 140 mm

In this Superhero battle, the Canyon Spectral CF 9.0 EX is certainly the Hulk, showing it could run with the bulls when it won an EWS podium. Muscled up, the Spectral CF 9.0 EX is now longer, lower and meaner than ever before, but does it have a sensitive side?

All bikes in test: Canyon Spectral CF 9.0 EX | Cube Stereo 140 C:62 SL | Giant Trance Advanced 1 | Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert 650B | Radon Slide Carbon 140 10.0 | Ibis Mojo 3 XT 1x | SCOTT Genius 710 Plus | Whyte T130 C | Yeti SB 4.5c X01
