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

Nukeproof Vector AM Comp Cro-Mo saddle

The Vector AM is pretty race focused, with minimal padding. There’s a deep (if narrow) pressurerelief channel to keep the blood flowing where it’s meant to. Used with bib shorts, we found it pretty comfortable for shorter rides and suffered no pain or discomfort in the central region. On steep climbs the slightly downturned nose provides a reasonable forward perch, while the svelte profile and smooth edges make it particularly unobtrusive when moving about on the descents. It’s quite stiff though, and can feel harsh on long rides or bumpy ground. We definitely wouldn’t want to spend much time on it without a chamois. It’s heavier than we’d expect for such a lightly padded perch too. There’s a lighter Pro version with titanium rails for $105, but at 241g it’s only 10g lighter. Weight 251g Price $67

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed.
