Posted
by
Reviewed by: John Milbank RRP: £359 The GoPro Black edition stands out in the range with its ability to shoot at 120fps at a resolution of 720p. This puts super-slow-mo footage in the hands of us all, which looks great with bike footage. Even at full HD (1080p), the GoPro will shoot at up to 60fps.…

Posted
by
Tested by: John Milbank, Editor MCM | RRP: £14.99 | www.bulletpolish.co.uk This great value kit contains 500ml of ready-to-use wax spray, and two good quality microfibre cloths.

Hi-Viz LED H-Band review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: John Milbank RRP: £24.99 While some riders turn their nose up at hi-viz kit, there’s no denying its effectiveness. Reflective gear can help you shine in a car’s headlights, but it’s not always as much use if you’re approaching a T junction. Enter the H-Band, from Moto Central. Using two AA batteries, it…
