Once we took our first laps in on the seven trail bikes at this year's Field Test it was time for another round of challenges. This time, there were three stops on the list that were designed to start assessing each bike's climbing, descending, and pumping abilities. Don't worry, there's a huck to flat in the mix too, but you'll need to wait a little while longer to watch all of the bikes get fully bottomed out in super-slo-mo.
