Review: Bridgestone Potenza Sport (productReview)
To further enhance its credentials, Bridgestone tyres are now original equipment for Lamborghini, Maserati and BMW. The Potenza Sport tyre uses innovative 3D sipes (the groves in the tyre tread) to increase stiffness which helps under braking along with a mix of nylon and aramid fibres in its construction to maximise stability at speed . -
Review: Suzuki Katana (2019) (productReview)
The Suzuki Katana is a retro relaunch of one of the firm’s most notable classic machines. Aimed at the BMW R-nine-T, Honda CB1000R and Triumph Speed Triple, it’s a modern take on the 1980s muscle bike theme. It has similar front end styling to the original Katana, with its jutting chin and upswept rear, while the engine is also something of a nod to the past as it comes from the 1985 GSX-R1000 from the mid-2000s. -
Review: Carluex Air wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto adaptor (productReview)
It works with most car makes and models with built-in wired CarPlay from 2016 onwards and is compatible with iPhones from 5 onwards and Android phones running 6.0 or higher. The one thing to note is that it doesn't work with BMW models, due to their software. If you have a BMW, Carluex sells a specific adaptor for £348. The unit itself is actually a very small Android device and can be used on its own without connecting to your phone. -
Review: Smart Polish Pro Waterless Wash and Wax (productReview)
The motorcycle wasn’t by any means filthy, but it had plenty of dead flies caked on in various spots and some dirt on the wheels and undertray from brake dust and road grime. Next we tried the cleaner on an elderly BMW 3 Series. All of the spots of dirt were lifted away by the spray and the microfibre cloth without much trouble. Even stubborn, baked on areas of dirt and dried up insects came clean with a bit of effort, though tar spots were too much for the spray to cope with. -
Review: Triumph Bonneville T100 (productReview)
It has a USB connection under the seat to charge your smartphone or sat-nav, and cruise control and heated grips are optional extras worth having if you ride all year round or want to go touring. Next to rivals from BMW, Ducati, Honda and Moto Guzzi, Triumph has nailed the modern classic motorcycle with the Bonneville T100. It’s such a good looker, with all of the wires and pipes hidden away to give a clean appearance, that many will mistake it for a 1960s bike. -
Review: Honda X-ADV (productReview)
The Honda X-ADV is pitched as an adventure scooter and you’ll need to be of an adventurous nature to consider this left-field choice. It’s an unusual mash-up of full-size go-anywhere BMW GS-style bike but with a feet-forward riding position. Other oddities about the design of the X-ADV are its DCT twin-clutch six-speed gearbox. This lets you ride the Honda without ever having to bother changing gear yourself or you can opt to take control with the up and down shifters on the left-hand bar. -
Review: Ohme Home Pro EV Charger (productReview)
We've used it with our own Audi e-tron as well as a slew of different EVs we have tested including everything from a Volvo EC40 and a Vauxhall Astra Electric to a Volkswagen ID.7 GTX and a BMW i5 M60. It's perfomed impeccably with all, which the app making things very simple to control. I initially wasn't sure if a five metre cable would be long enough given the various EVs I test, but it's surprisingly flexible cable and I've managed to hook it up to every EV that's been on the drive with no fuss. -
Review: Zontes T310 (productReview)
As you walk towards the Zontes T310, it gives every impression of being a classy, large adventure bike. Okay, it’s not quite as imposing as BMW GS or Ducati Multistrada, but it has all of the feel of a substantial bike and that is a big part of the appeal of this type of machine. There’s also a host of details to take in, such as the high-level exhaust pipes designed to keep heat away from pillion’s legs and luggage. -
Review: Thule 991 RaceWay 2 bicycle carrier (productReview)
We say officially as although there are cars not listed in the accompanying booklet - things like the latest Ford Focus, BMW 5 Series Touring and Honda Civic to name just three - that's not to say the RaceWay won't fit so it's worth testing it out even if your car isn't on the list.
