Posted
by
RRP: £92.47 | www.ktm.co.uk | Tested by Carli Ann Smith Sometimes I don’t want to fill my pockets with my phone, purse, house keys and chocolate bars – but it doesn’t warrant carrying round a huge rucksack.

Posted
by
Kriega R30 | £139 | www.kriega.com | 01829 770767 | Tested by Steve Rose £139 for a rucksack? Some would say pricey, but based on previous Kriega experience I’d say a bargain at twice the price. My old Kriega R25 (the number stands for litres capacity) was, er, ‘borrowed’ from a colleague in 2005…

TomTom RIDER sat nav review
Posted
by
TomTom RIDER | £349.99 | www.tomtom.com | Tested by John Milbank I always believed that bikes should have the minimum of fussy tech on them – for me, riding is about freedom, so the last thing I wanted was something telling me what to do; more buttons to press; and extra clutter on my machine.

Posted
by
Tested by: John Sharratt Originally created for horse riders, these hi viz garments have been redesigned specifically for bikers, after the Metropolitan Police confirmed that they’re completely legal.
