Pulling our testing expertise from MBUK issue 413, our full MTB tech team talk through some of the most important, or influential, mountain bikes that'll be gracing our trails in 2023.

Some are innovative and some represent the trends we're seeing across the market, from XC race rigs to bike-park slayers. We then give you the lowdown as to how well they ride, and whether the trends they embody are worth considering.

Bikes include Pole's innovative Voima eMTB, Hope's high-pivot HB916, the Bird Forge and, of course, a new Santa Cruz.
