  Top 10: Best full face helmets 2023 (Article)
  It has a very decent four out of five star SHARP safety rating, comes with a drop-down sun visor and features a wide visor with Pinlock Max Vision insert. The safety features like anti-fog Pinlock insert and high safety rating make the N87 a good choice for new riders who want a lot of value for money. It's definitely a case of substance over style though, considering its looks could be considered a bit dull.

  Review: Hornit Clug bike clip (productReview)
  In the box, we got the Clug, a couple of screws and plastic screw anchors for installation, and some instructions. On the packaging, there's a little section that shows the max tyre width of the Hornit Clug, so you can ensure your tyre will fit before you even take it out of the box. There's also a little diagram on the box that shows where the holes need to be marked for the screws to be drilled into the wall.

  Review: Lenco BTL-450 Bluetooth tower speaker (productReview)
  You can also customise the audio by altering the levels of bass and treble with the remote, which is a nice addition to a budget tower speaker. Although the bass and treble levels only go from 1-4 (min-max), it's an impressive level of bass for such a small footprint. Overall, the sound quality of Lenco's tower speaker is very clear and punches above its weight for the £119 price tag (on Amazon, that is).

  Top 10: Best handheld vacuum cleaners 2020 (Article)
  The Dyson V8 Absolute uses a more spunky motor compared to the less price V6 model, and the two power modes allow you to switch between 40 minutes of cleaning and 7 minutes of MAX cleaning, which should probably be used with caution. As well as a toolset designed for all occasions, the V8 switches to its full length for floor cleaning with a couple of clicks.

  Top 10: Best robot lawn mowers of 2020 (Article)
  Other neat features include ‘corridor docking’, which allows the charging station to be placed away from the lawn – keeping the mower out of sight when it’s inactive. Worx Landroid S Many robot mowers will only cut near to the border of your lawn, as their blades can’t reach that far without the mower venturing off the grass. Worx’s Landroid S, however, can cut almost right up to the edge, leaving you with far less trimming to do if you want a perfect lawn.
• 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: 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. VEHICLE EXCISE DUTY: How much is the tax on my car? (FAQs)

  Review: Honda X-ADV (productReview)
  Underneath the seat is storage big enough to swallow a full-face helmet, but you’ll need that top box if your passenger wants to stash their’s away too. These concerns won’t worry anyone coming to the X-ADV from a motorcycle, but max-scooter users might find them disappointing when they’ve been used the practicalities offered by the likes of the Piaggio MP3 500. We wouldn’t let it put us off the Honda as it rewards with a ride that’s more engaging than its nearest rivals.

It all adds up to better handling. Why cross plys and radials don't mix Find out what could happen if you mix your radials with your cross ply tyres.

• What is the cheapest Classic Car Insurance for a Porsche 944? (Article)
  Gone was the Audi van engine, replaced by a new 2.5-litre slant-four engine developed from the 928's V8. It looked great, too - lines were smoother and the car was actually able to make its on-road presence felt. And then there was the performance and handling... which was sensational. Deservedly, the 944 went on to outsell the 924 and was enough to keep Porsche going through its tough years 1980s.

  Review: Kenwood kMix Chrome Collection KMX760 (productReview)
  The dial features nine different speed settings with the fold function, min and max speeds on the dial bookending the six numbered speeds. Maximum is ideal for whipping egg whites and cream while the minimum is best for dry ingredients that have a tendency to make a mess. The transparent, plastic splashguard is another useful addition, especially as it comes with a pouring chute so we don't have to stop the mixer and remove the guard to add more ingredients - which anyone who bakes can agree is a massive annoyance.
