The Blackburn Switch Multi Tool is a neat little package containing just eight tool heads in a minimalist wrap-around case. Its T-shaped handle gives good leverage and its great for small spaces but you are limited to using the ball head end of an Allen key.

The Pipedream A.L.I.C.E (All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) is an adventure or gravel bike designed for self-supported big days out. We've just taken delivery of a frame and fork for review from the makers of that rather radical mountain bike hardtail, the Moxie, for rather different but no less hardcore forays.

Rocky Mountain has sneakily announced the arrival of a new gravel bike called the Solo. With no fanfare and very little information, we've gleaned some details on the new adventure steed from the Canadian website.

It's not often we get to fill our 'cool things' slot with just bikes, but when we do is certainly is very cool! We've got not too spendy gravel bikes from Kona and Specialized, a handmade build from Sven Cycles and a very new mountain bike that's from Kona also.

The Ex Enduro, a three day mountain bike enduro in the north east corner of Exmoor returns on 14th-16th September 2018 for more brutal, fun, exciting and scary stage racing as our Jon found out last year. You'll need to pre-register though to be in with a chance of getting one of the 80 entries available!

There is one undisputed ruler of the sub £1000 full suspension mountain bike category and that's the Calibre Bossnut V2. The Go Outdoors brand has just announced the second bike in the lineup, the Bossnut Evo and it's still under a grand and looks to be great value. 

The Rove range from Kona sports two gravel bikes built from either steel or alloy, different wheel sizes and a few price range options. There's something there to suit both the hardcore gravel grinder or the versatile commuter. We have already reviewed the Rove NRB and now it's time to take a look at the Rove DL.

The Specialized Diverge is a gravel bike, a road bike and a commuting machine all rolled into one courtesy of 'Open Road' geometry and a 'Future Shock'. We've got an aluminium women's version of the bike in for testing, the Diverge E5 Comp and couldn't resist taking a first look before this little number hits the fire roads of Wales. 

The Pathfinder from Sven Cycles is an adventure bike, a gravel grinder, a bikepacking workhorse or a touring machine, it's whatever you want it to be. Part mountain bike, part touring bike, the steel Pathfinder 11 is good to go in whatever sphere you choose.
