Review: BMW R Nine T Urban G/S (productReview)
If you want to explore a little further in to the wilds, the G/S X is the model to choose, even if it does add £715 to the bill. You get those off-road tyres and heated grips, as well as a chromed exhaust and cross-spoke wheels. That’s about the limit of equipment for the G/S.
Review: Thule Touring S roof box (productReview)
Not that it’s limited to small cars - the Thule Touring S can be fitted to any car, using Thule’s extensive roof bar and mounting kits. On the Up the Touring S is mounted via a Thule WingBar 969 and Thule Rapid System 754. Combined, these cost £216.
Review: Cybex Sirona S i-Size (productReview)
UK law says children need to stay rear facing until they are 15 months old, when you can then turn the seat around to use it forward facing. That's how we've been testing the Sirona S here. The fact the Sirona S swivels makes it much easier to get a reluctant toddler into their seat - and most crucially, strap them in safely. The little hooks for keeping the seatbelts out of the way help and another nice touch is the extra covers on the lower sections of the seatbelt.
Review: Cambridge Audio YOYO (S) speaker (productReview)
However, if you're after a wireless speaker with lots of well-designed touches and decent sound quality - the YOYO (S) is definitely worth considering.
Review: Garmin Drive 51 LMT-S (productReview)
What is it? The Garmin Drive 51 LMT-S is a simple, straightforward yet still feature-filled sat nav system that comes with lifetime mapping updates. It can be paired to a smartphone to enable extra features including TripAdvisor ratings for points of interest, plus it provides live traffic and live parking information.
Review: RAC 225 S Super HD Dash Cam (productReview)
It all goes a little sideways, however, when it comes to the mount. Unlike some rival offerings, the 225’s GPS module isn’t integrated into the dash cam. It’s instead part of the mount, which makes it bulkier and clutters the windscreen. A cable also has to pass from the GPS module into the dash cam, which limits adjustability because the unit can only rotate so far before the cable pulls out.
Review: LS2 Vector helmet (productReview)
The SHARP safety rating is achieved through testing how the helmet performed in each of the five impact locations during the 8.5 m/s linear impact tests against the flat anvil. While the front and back protection were rated well, side protection was poor at high speeds .
Review: Norco Fluid 2 HT (2019) (productReview)
width=271&height=181&mode=max" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/75154c5225ff45099ce25f1fec810ff2" /> When you need to stop, the Fluid 2’s hydraulic brakes do an excellent job of scrubbing off speed, while the SR Suntour suspension fork can be locked easily when you hit the tarmac. While hardtails are firmer than full-suspension bikes, the Fluid 2’s chunky tyres offer a fairly smooth ride even on bumpier trails.
Review: James Bond's DB5 book (productReview)
One replica is residing in a restaurant in Vancouver of all places while a 23-year-old Anthony Bamford, who went on to be chairman of JCB, bought two for £1500 in 1969, complete with gadgets. Post Thunderball, the book then charts the return of the DB5 in 1995's Goldeneye, this time with Pierce Brosnan behind the wheel, no doubt seductively grunting out some lines of dialogue. Before bringing things up to date with its appearances in Casino Royale, Skyfall, SPECTRE and No Time To Die.
Review: TomTom Go 5200 sat nav (productReview)
It’s useful being able to interact with it using the voice commands as well, which permits hands-free access to options such as altering the view, muting the sound or setting a new destination. The only prominent criticism is that the Go 5200’s display isn’t of a particularly high resolution. This isn’t a huge issue but less expensive sat navs often feature sharper and larger – albeit dimmer – screens. Consequently, the TomTom’s display feels a little lacklustre in what is a nigh-on £300 unit.
Review: Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres (productReview)
We tested the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on a Porsche Boxster S and noticed a significant improvement over the set of mid-range tyres that were previously fitted. If you have a high performance car, it’s worth investing in a set of premium tyres like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s to allow you to fully appreciate your car’s abilities.
Review: Kawasaki W800 (productReview)
Let’s start with the biggest updates, namely the chassis and smaller 18-inch front wheel. The double-cradle frame is far from radical in its design and geometry, which suits the W800’s purpose and rider demographic. This endows it with a decently low seat height that makes getting your feet on the ground is easy, which matters when the bike tips the scales at 221kg. For those with an A2 licence, the W800 is an unthreatening bike that works with you to instil confidence.
Review: TomTom Rider 550 (productReview)
Built-in WiFi means you don’t need to faff around with wires when you want to update the Rider 550’s maps and software updates either – just hook it up to nearest WiFi source and you’re sorted. Review: Vespa GTS 300 (productReview)
This will also be useful for storing your helmet as the underseat cubby is tight even for an open-face lid. One- or two-up, the GTS 300’s engine never has to struggle. This latest EU4 emissions-compliant motor pulls strongly as soon as you twist the throttle and takes the scooter up to 30, 40, 50 and 60mph limits briskly. Head on to 70mph and the 300 continues to work unchallenged and we saw an indicated 80mph on the analogue speedometer.
Review: Wahoo Elemnt Roam V2 cycling computer (productReview)
To get the most out of the Roam V2, you really want to download the companion app. While you can use the Roam V2's controls and interface pretty easily, the app makes it much more intuitive process. It's a brilliant app that's easy to connect and then tailor the Roam V2 to your own tastes, as well as connect other devices and link it up to Strava and other apps.
Review: Piaggio MP3 300 and 500 (productReview)
This bike also clearly has car drivers in mind who are considering a swap from four wheels to beat congestion. Critically, the MP3’s three-wheel design means anyone who passed their driving test before 2013 can get on these Piaggios and ride off, though we would heartily recommend completing a CBT course beforehand if you have no prior experience of scooters or motorcycles.
Review: Oxford Holwell 1.0 motorcycle jacket (productReview)
The Holwell 1.0 is a classically styled, textile motorcycle jacket from Oxford Products with CE Level 1 protectors in the shoulders and elbows, as well as a short connection zip for attaching riding trousers. The wet-waxed cotton jacket comes in black, red or green with sizes ranging from S to 5XL. What's it like? The Holwell is produced by British Millerain, a waxed cotton and outerwear specialist based in Lancashire. The collar features a rolled neoprene finish and corduroy facing on the inside as do the cuffs, adding big style points.
Review: Ring RAC 610 analogue air compressor (productReview)
Currently retailing between £12 and £15, it’s a more wallet-friendly alternative to the very similar 635 digital air compressor - the main difference, as the name suggests, being the 610’s analogue dial in place of a digital display.
Review: Mio MiVue J60 dash camera (productReview)
The videos can be saved to your phone or you can share them via the app. The MiVue J60’s firmware and speed camera data with can also be updated using the WiFi. The J60's features include driver assistance systems (like fatigue warnings if you've been driving for a while, lane departure and forward collision warnings), safety camera and speed limit warnings.
Review: Garmin VIRB 360 (productReview)
When it comes to previewing the camera angle or changing the settings in more detail, we need to use the VIRB smartphone app (compatible with iOS and Android). As with other smartphone apps for action cameras, it's a case of turning on the VIRB 360’s WiFi and connecting to it with our mobile phone.
