    BIKING FREEDOM REGAINED for paralysed rider

    When Jacob Davies-Pyke was paralysed from the chest down, it forced him to adjust and reassess his life in every way. It also seemed like the end of something he was passionate about – riding bikes. But with enormous willpower, determination, and tailored and dedicated training, it didn’t take him long to get back on…

    KTM: Round-up

    It had recently become clear that the financial situation at KTM’s parent firm Pierer mobility (which also owns GASGAS, Husqvarna and MV Agusta) was turning critical.

    Convinced that there’s no scope for an electric performance bike? The off-road world begs to differ, according to Alan Dowds.

    Review: Merlin Axe Hydro waterproof Kevlar riding shirt

    I’m about a month in now with this excellent Axe Hydro waterproof and Kevlar riding shirt, and while I haven’t done that much riding in the rain (mainly ‘cos riding in the rain’s no fun no matter how good your gear is), I did get caught in a wee shower on a run and, while…

    DUCATI: Multistrada V2

    Insight from Alan Dowds… We raised an eyebrow when Ducati released the details of its next-generation V-twin motor a couple of months back. Okay, the purist in us appreciated the light weight, and a reset of the mad power escalator for what is, after all, a middleweight powerplant. But dropping the desmodromic valves, like shelving…

    TRIUMPH: Bobber TFC

    Alan Dowds brings us up to speed… We’ll be honest: some of the limited-edition Triumphs in recent years have been a bit underwhelming. A chrome tank, some pin-stripe paint lines, and an Elvis paint job are all pleasant enough, but we generally like a bit more in a special model. Like this – the new…

    DUCATI: Panigale V4 S Tricolore

    Alan Dowds tells us what we need to know… It’s a fine line between genius and insanity. And in this economy, a £48,000 special edition superbike will seem like madness to many out there.
