Calibre Line T3 27.5: The best £1000 MTB in the UK?

Calibre's Line T3 27.5 is an awesome mix of sorted geometry and outstanding componentry for the cash. But how well does it actually ride? I headed down my local woods to find out.

I've got one reserved for tomorrow. I may ask for the 29er instead. Thanks for your video, that's very helpful.

[@GuyKesTV]

The 29er is certainly going to be easier to find spares for long term. It’ll probably ride a little bit smoother and faster too

[@AyupStuggy]

@@GuyKesTV The 29er is ordered and paid for! I collect it Thursday. Thanks for your inspiration. Bless you :) Stuart. (aka Stuggy)

[@GuyKesTV]

No problem Stuart, have a great time on it

[@richardvankastle359]

Thanks for the review. The geometry is pretty much ideal. Don't think I can buy one in Canada though.

Mad Jonny’s got to be happy with that. He’s come a long way from his days as a bin man.

[@GuyKesTV]

This sounds a splendid story

[@GhostTrader37]

I'm going to order this bike. I'm still riding my two three. I absolutely love it. But time for an upgrade as my 100mm forks are beginning to annoy me lol

[@nickbaker77]

27.5 ain't dead! 🤘

[@davegee124]

i dont think the original line 10 will ever be beat for money to perfomance ratio (i had the blue one) but its nice to see them back.

[@GuyKesTV]

Yep, I’d agree. I remember testing the yellow and red one. Unbelievable value

[@kopite1892ynwa]

Literally only just getting into MTB at the age of 40 🤣bought a £400 carerra in January but already I want this bike 🤣🤣

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Like an F1 pit stop all edited and back on track. He's bloody good is Guy. Is it any good for bike packing though 😜

[@GuyKesTV]

🤣🤣

[@ChippyTim]

Just bought one of these today after my ebike was stolen

[@GuyKesTV]

Gutted to hear about your ebike mate but hope you enjoy your Calibre

[@jimthebikeguy]

This or the 29 version...

[@GuyKesTV]

Probably the 29er TBH, but that’s £100 more

[@kopite1892ynwa]

@@GuyKesTVHi, I’m completely new to MTB, I’m about 5”9 and looking at doing blue trails first then maybe try the odd red at coed y brenin. Would I be better off with this or the 29?
