Muc-Off has rolled out a new bike wash refill program in their ambassador stores, fitting them out with a specially made station where you can refill used Nano Bike Cleaner bottles. Not only is this cheaper than buying a whole new bottle but it will save literal tonnes of plastic which is much more environmentally friendly.

The Air Tool Big Bore is Specialized's mini pump for those who ride high-volume mountain bike and – primarily – fat bike tyres. It delivers 90cc of air with every stroke and is designed to work well even in gloved hands, but the head is faffy and it's hard work to use.

To celebrate the launch of the Reactor trail bike, Nukeproof sent the guys from Caldwell Visual to Perth to hook up with Sam Hill. Riding on his home trails, Mr. Hill puts the Reactor though it's paces while making us incredibly jealous of the dusty summer trails.

Sometimes great things come in small packages, and that's absolutely the case with the Truflo MiniMTN. It’s a super compact little pump that extends to nearly twice its size in use, and takes little effort to work. It even has a retractable hose to protect your valves – the only thing missing on the MiniMTN is a pressure gauge.

Park Tools IB-3 is a 15 piece multitool built around an ‘I’ shaped beam. It’s chunky, weighty and sturdy, and it has just about every emergency tool you need – plus a bonus tyre lever on the back. Each tool can be used confidently without fear of rounding bolts, but the tyre lever holds the whole thing back.

The Truflo Easitrax 3 is an entry-level floor pump at an entry-level price. It’s lightweight, well constructed and easy to use, and its sleek looks are up there with the more expensive units. It's a little flimsy and breathless and the gauge is hard to read, but there's no denying it gets the job done (eventually).

The Sapphire floor pump is Crankbrothers' no-frills entry to the track pump world. Nevertheless it’s stable, hefty and well built, featuring a universal head and a mostly steel construction. Whether you ride gravel or downhill, the Sapphire is a capable and versatile volume-shifter – so long as your eyes are up to reading that gauge.

The Storm King is Sage's new adventure focused gravel bike. Designed for those who tackle multiday adventures but also the gravel racer. Rolling two different wheel sizes, Sage offers a host of custom choices from Enve, 3T, Chris King and Cane Creek.

A good floor pump is a must-have for any cyclist but they are not all created equal. We've weeded out the flimsy and the faffy to pick the best track pumps that'll get you inflating your tyres with minimal effort, whether fat mountain bike tyres or higher pressure gravel rubber.

Highland Perthshire Cycling has secured funding from a number of contributors to develop a whole network of off road gravel trails to the region suitable for riders of all abilities. The network will pass through popular Highland Perthshire towns.
