The Voom Taster Pack consists of four bars, aimed at before, during and after exercise. The bars have a taste that is not overly strong, and a texture that makes them easy to eat. The packets are also very easy to open while riding, which is very welcome – especially in the winter. The taster […]

Dan joined road.cc as live blog editor last year. He has previously written about various sports including football and boxing for the Daily Express and covered the weird and wonderful world of non-league football for The Non-League Paper. Part of the generation inspired by the 2012 Olympics, Dan has been a keen cyclist ever since and spends his weekends […]

The Selle Italia Novus Boost Evo Kit Carbonio Superflow saddle not only has a very long name but is now one of my favourite short style race saddles. It’s stiff where it needs to be and isn’t where you don’t want it to be. The padding is a bit thicker than I normally like, but […]

The Incite X6 USB To See Front is part of Kryptonite’s new smart light range. Its seven modes include an auto brightness-adjust mode, and there’s a handy data display to keep track of the battery. Kryptonite says that with its 60 lux and precise beam pattern it’s enough for riding in almost any conditions. Unfortunately, […]

A specialist cycle insurance firm has warned that it estimates that half of cyclists in the UK currently have inadequate cover, or none at all. The company, Bikmo, has meanwhile released claims data relating to 2020, in what it says is “an effort to set a new standard for transparency.” According to Bikmo, theft accounted […]

Cube’s flagship Litening carbon race bike with aero-shaped tubes and a seamless structure has minimal cross-wind susceptibility as well as full UCI approval. High-quality components are specced throughout, and although the price is undoubtedly more than most of us will ever spend on a bike, it’s not monstrous for a superbike equipped in this way… “The […]

A cap is a great way to increase warmth, keep the sun/rain/sleet out of your eyes and hide that helmet hair at rest stops too… you can arrange those in your own order of preference! The Sealskinz Waterproof All Weather Cycle Cap offers all this and more, being wind and water repellent and well priced […]

Prime’s Kanza Inline Gravel Seatpost is a durable, affordable alloy option for both road and gravel bikes. The clamp makes adjustments really easy, but the claimed anti-shock effects are questionable – personally I couldn’t detect any difference between this and a regular aluminium post. Nevertheless, it’s still decent value and otherwise effective. The Kanza is […]

It’s pretty easy to imagine what was going through the mind of the DPD driver seen in this clip. They felt like they could get past the cyclist before turning right… so they went past the cyclist before turning right – never mind the fact they had to pass on the inside and also cut […]

The dhb Classic Long Sleeve jersey – Pace is a traditional styled, mid-weight top that fills that gap between the warmth of summer and the cold of winter. It’s well made, performs across a decent temperature range and comes with plenty of pleasing details. Choose the bolder Black/Khaki option (which actually includes bright yellow) if […]

The Ruzer Inner Tube Repair Kit is for fixing traditional tubed setups. The glueless patches are convenient and seem more reliable than many, but it’s pricey for the spec and steel tyre levers are an odd choice – they easily damage alloy rims. Your £6.95 gets you two metal tyre levers, six glueless patches and […]
