The Ruzer Pro Tubeless Repair Kit is super handy as it's small and light enough to keep on you all the time. It’s missing a serrated reamer tool, though, and there aren’t any bigger plugs included.

Juice Lubes Tyre Juice is an ammonia-free tubeless sealant that’s easy to apply and does a great job of sealing punctures. It’s reasonably priced too, but it’s tricky to clean up and you need a little more than usual.

Dirt Wash by Weldtite is a citrusy cleaner with a great spray head for wide coverage, and it works really well, but it’s easy to blast through the bottle quickly.

With the previous release of the Alpine Trail, Marin has added a carbon-framed model to the line-up. It gets all of the bells and whistles that you'll get on the alloy frame, but this model benefits from a unidirectional carbon front triangle.

Cycling retailer, Halfords has unveiled an incredibly limited edition Carrera Vengeance to celebrate over 500,000 models of the bike being sold.

Santa Cruz has given what the brand thinks is the most abused bike in the line-up a refresh for 2021. It sees in a new kit list, size-specific chainstays, and some very eye-catching colourways. Santa Cruz has also added a host of features to make this bike last as long as it possibly can.

The Trailfinder Pants from O’Neal are a simple and wallet-friendly pair of (if you're from the UK) trousers. What they lack in features they make up for with excellent fit and some serious comfort. They downside is they struggle both to vent heat on warm days and keep hold of it when it's cold.

Peaty’s Foaming Drivetrain Degreaser works rather well, and it's got a minty fresh scent too. You still need to get in there and scrub to shift the grimiest of grimes, though.

New for 2021, Lazer has unveiled the Jackal. It's an all-new open-face helmet and with it, the brand intends to create the perfect match between a rider and their gear. It's built to maximize comfort while offering plenty of protection.

The WTB Verdict Wet 2.5 is the spikier counterpart to the basic Verdict, which we really liked in its Verdict 2.5 TCS Tough form. It provides shedloads of grip in the muckiest of weather, while being superbly predictable. It can just get a little drifty on harder sections, though.
