  Best Car Tyres 2019 (Article)
  While Michelin is definitely up there with the best all-season tyres, the CrossClimate+ excel in dry conditions - with excellent braking thanks to the rigid and bevel-edged tread block design. As the tyre wears, emerging grooves open to deliver long-lasting traction on snowy roads too.  The CrossClimate+ are available in 48 sizes for 15-inch to 19-inch rims.

  However, if you need to cover big miles, the 400 will sit easily at motorway speeds and comes with ABS brakes. Traction control helps safe riding, while keyless ignition and a parking brake make your life simpler. It looks good value at £5999. BMW C 400 X BMW is expanding its maxi scooter range with the C 400 X that sits below the 650 models in power, performance and price.

  Top 10: Scooters 2020 (Article)
  As a scooter aimed at commuting duties, it has a tight turning circle, excellent low-speed stability and strong, progressive brakes. The 350cc single-cylinder engine also makes easy meat of town riding thanks to plenty of grunt right from tick-over. It’s free from vibrations, will whisk you to the motorway limit with no fuss and you should see around 200 miles per fill of the tank.

  Review: MASH Black Seven 125 (productReview)
  For those that have stretches of country roads or motorway on their commutes or regular routes, the Black Seven doesn't give us too much confidence. When it comes to the linked brakes, it's a 70/30 split of front/rear discs together. It works alright but for hard stops, we really had to give the front brakes a good squeeze to get the amount of braking we wanted. In terms of steering and handling, the bike feels lovely and light at low speeds all the way up to around 50mph, although the Seven needs to be revved like mad to get the most out of it.
• STORING A CAR: How should I prepare my car for long term storage? (FAQs)
  Pushing it in one direction will help prevent flat-spotting of tyres. Pushing it backwards and forwards will help keep brakes freed off. Nothing you can do about the a/c unless you take the car for a run. You might preserve the a/c seals by starting the engine, but will create a lot of condensation and lube oil dilution.

  125cc Scooter of the Year shortlist (Article)
  If that sounds dull, don’t believe it for a moment as the PCX is very enjoyable to ride thanks to its nimble handling and excellent ABS-equipped brakes. Best of all, it’s an affordable scooter you can use and revel in all-year round. Running costs are very affordable thanks to a claimed average fuel economy of 133.9mpg, which we found was closer to 110mpg in the real world.

  Review: Vespa Elettrica (productReview)
  Head on to any faster stretches and its’ soon out of its depth in exactly the same way as a 50cc machine. To help get the most out of the battery’s range, the Elettrica uses regenerative braking to top up the battery’s charge as you slow down. This means you don’t need to use the brakes as much as on a traditional petrol-powered scooter as you effectively have strong engine braking. You can also select an Eco mode that restricts top speed to 18mph, but we see little point in this.
• Review: Honda Vision 110 (productReview)
  The CVT transmission is as simple as any other twist and go scooter, so the more you rotate the right-hand control, the quicker it goes. The same drama-free interaction applies to the brakes, which use the same bicycle layout as most rivals to the Vision. However, Honda supplies this model with its linked brake system, so when you pull on the front brake disc, the rear drum also plays its part to offer stable, assured stopping.
• OIL CHANGES: How often should I change the oil in my car? (FAQs)
  Change the coolant every 3 years if it is an MEG coolant, or every 4 years if it is an MPG coolant. Change the brake fluid every 2 years unless it is Dot 5 silicon brake fluid (unlikely on a mass-produced car). If the engine has a timing belt, change that every 4 years or every 40,000 miles, whichever comes first, unless the engine has no history of premature timing belt failures (Ford Zetec E and Zetec S engine timing belts generally exceed their design life of 80,000 miles, so can be changed at 6 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first.)
• WINTER TYRES: Should I use different tyres for the winter? (FAQs)
  On hard packed snow, frozen snow or ice, ABS might actually prevent the car from stopping because it automatically releases the brakes on wheels that are skidding. If all four wheels are skidding it will release the brakes on all of them. So on snow and ice, think ahead and start braking gently a lot earlier than you would in normal conditions.

  Review: Razor E-Prime electric scooter (productReview)
  The low deck makes cornering feel sharp and stable, which is always a positive.  As for complaints, braking with the Razor E-Prime could be stronger. When we've been accelerating flat out and then wanted to stop suddenly (for a dog that ran in front of us on the path, for example) the front brake didn't feel quite powerful enough so we had to resort to using the back brake at the same time.

  Review: Smart Polish Pro Waterless Wash and Wax (productReview)
  We decided to first test Waterless Wash and Wax on a motorcycle, since in a small area you’ll find dead flies, grease and brake dust to clear away. If the product can cope with that, it can cope with the panels on a typical car. The directions are to spray the product onto a microfibre cloth rather than the panel itself. The results are surprisingly good.

  Review: Honda CB650F (productReview)
  It certainly seemed to work well during our time on the CB offering good comfort with any untoward dive under heavy braking. Should I buy one? All of this adds up to a middleweight that calls into question the need to seek out anything with a larger capacity engine. Like the Hornet before it, the CB650F is massively entertaining.

  Review: Peugeot Metropolis 400i RXR 2017 Road Test (productReview)
  There are a few extra controls, including a switch to lock the bike upright when it’s stationary, an extra foot-operated brake and an electric parking brake, but aside from that it’s just a big scooter. A very stable scooter, too. Through corners the Metropolis is really confidence inspiring – you can crank it over into turns with almost carefree abandon.

  Review: Suzuki Katana (2019) (productReview)
  What we will say is the bits lurking underneath the plastics are almost identical to the GSX1000S, so you have the same chassis, suspension and motor. What’s different are the brakes, borrowed from the present GSX-R, digital dash display and the one-piece handlebars. Beginning with the brakes, there’s nothing wrong in this department as they offer plenty of feel in the dry or wet and there’s ABS there to save you from unwelcome lock-ups.

  Review: Carrera Crossfire 2 hybrid bike (productReview)
  Our feet have also slipped off the pedals when this has happened, which can be a painful experience if you catch your leg on a sharp part of the pedal.  The Tektro Aries mechanical disc brakes, which are a new edition on this second-gen model, are also low maintenance and provide controlled stopping in wet weather conditions. Although, while the brakes are reliable, they do squeak frequently.

  Review: Honda Super Cub (productReview)
  The steering has plenty of lock, the weight is carried down low and the ABS-equipped front brake gives plenty of feel and confidence. A rear drum brake also works in harmony to balance the machine in low-speed manoeuvres.

  Review: Kawasaki ZX-10R SE (productReview)
  A telling result of Kawasaki’s KECS set-up is the rider never feels the front end push back through the bars under heavy braking in the way it can on other bikes so equipped. This is a measure of how accurate and astute the ZX-10R SE’s engineers have been in choosing the way it behaves and has endowed it with a very natural feel.
• Review: Honda NSC 50 E Vision (productReview)
  You can also use just the rear brake to temper speed when filtering and the rear view mirrors don’t impede progress through closely packed lines of cars, vans and buses. There are no concerns with the Vision’s stability under braking or during normal riding.

  Top 10: Best used scooters (Article)
  It’s also typically Honda reliable, comfortable and cost-effective to maintain. We’d search out a post-2009 SH125 to make sure you get the rear disc brake, but otherwise this scooter is incredibly easy to handle and the 16-inch wheels make light work of potholes and offer superb stability. Yamaha Aerox The Aerox is another longstanding machine to make our Top 10 and with good cause.
