All In multi-tool


You’d be hard pushed to describe a multi-tool as ‘sexy’ but All In’s offering has to come pretty close. This cleverlydesigned tool slots discreetly into any hollow 21mm diameter (or bigger) crank axle and is held firmly in place by seven strong magnets. The rotating head accepts standard tool bits, making it easy to tailor the tool to your needs or replace any that go missing. It comes with 3mm to 6mm Allen key heads, a T25 Torx bit and a Phillips driver. A clever slot on the side lined with additional mini magnets holds a spare master link (not included) for on-the-fly chain repair, but there’s no chain tool.

It’s not the most ergonomic multi-tool we’ve used but its large size makes it easy to grip and apply pressure. At 115g it won’t add noticeable weight to your bike, especially when stowed down low inside the crank axle. For almost $120 we’d definitely like to see a few more functions though, especially when you look at the stiff competition in the integrated tool market coming from the likes of OneUp Components.

Price $118

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.

Italy's most famous fork manufacturer aims directly at the high profile, high performance enduro race scene but it needs patience to reveal its potential.

DRC X-Monitor SP1 lap timer

While smartphone apps such as Strava can be a useful way to keep tabs on your mountain bike rides, sometimes you just can’t beat the simplicity and instant feedback that a good old-fashioned stopwatch style lap timer provides.
