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

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. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

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.

Scott Scale 950

The Scale 950 uses the now traditional-for-cross-country 29er wheels to excellent effect, with a fast but fun character that's happy racing or railing.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.

Formula CR3 brakes

The CR3 features a cartridge-type master, which improves power and modulation, plus it is super simple to service: The self-enclosed unit threads directly into the lever body. I took apart our test set and had it back together and bled in 10 minutes with no special tools. Like Formula’s RO brakes, the caliper pistons are actually oval, making more surface area–and thus, more power–than round pistons, but simpler than a four-piston system. The CR3 is best suited for aggressive trail riding.
