review A well-rounded and great-looking shoe, but not without a few hiccups

review The Tactica shell vest has a cut that works on both gravel and road, and the insulated front panels add warmth and comfort.

review The compact and foldable Abus Bordo 6200K bike lock is easy to carry and tucks away nicely, but is vulnerable to aggressive theft attacks.

review The fit and fabrics are spot on, and you no longer need to wear the silly aero bra either

review The Topeak JoeBlow Sport III track pump is a solid choice for everyday cyclists and home workshop setups.

review The Lezyne Pressure Drive is a mostly reliable mini pump that requires a bit of patience to use

review The Karcher K2 is a solid, entry-level pressure washer that will make light work of dirt on the bike and help protect your paintwork

review Combining a quality chamois pad with a comfortable fit, in the more budget friendly bib shorts market the Entrata 2 make a good case for themselves

review We found these to be aerodynamically fast wheels in the tunnel, and real-world fast out on the road. An incredible wheelset at an incredibly low price

Reduces the need to carry CO2 canisters or spend loads of time pumping. Quick and efficient tyre inflation, but struggles to seat tyres and is not waterproof.

review Superb comfort thanks to the great Mille chamois, while clever features enhance breathability. Some aesthetic choices will divide opinion though, as will the high price.

review Superb lens clarity, contrast and performance that competes with the best. A few limitations do little to detract from the overall brilliance.

Review The Oakley Velo Kato are the best performing glasses I’ve come across, but they’re not for shrinking violets and you can't fold them away.

Review Premium level performance at budget friendly price point. Not the best in hot conditions, but excellent everywhere else.

Review While the Endura GV500 Reiver cargo bibs offer a lot for adventure riding, the sizing is a little off and the rear pockets not all that useful.

Review Secure pockets, an excellent chamois, and decent grippers make the latest Castelli Unlimited cargo bibs a great choice.

review The unassuming looking V5Rs is lighter and faster than its predecessor, with a geometry better suited to modern riding positions

review The Quoc M3 Pro seems to be a careful revision from Quoc which should mean they are easier to clean and will stay looking bling for longer

review The Powerweave bibshorts are a solid option but I’m not sure the performance matches the very high price

Perfect for long days in the saddle, with an innovative tube pocket at the rear for stashing clothing
