Birzman Feexman E-Version 20 multi-tool


Birzman’s most comprehensive multi-tool delivers lots of functions for its size and price. The chain tool is the standout performer, with a high-quality finish and ergonomic shape. Five spoke key sizes cover most wheels, and you get a good range of Allen keys, up to 8mm.

The surface finish on some of the tools isn’t as good as on the other multi-tools here. Although there’s a mechanical stop to prevent the knife (and other tools at the edge of the E-Version) rotating beyond 180 degrees, there’s no safety catch to stop it pivoting forwards and trapping your fingers.

Price $39

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

THEY AREN’T CHEAP, but these well made and feature packed shorts are the epitome of classic mountainbike-specific functionality, and on the bike they don’t disappoint.
