dhb Blok women's jersey review

The dhb women's Blok jersey is a short-sleeve, zip-up road and gravel top with striking styling and a budget price.

Kenda Flintridge Pro SCT TR 700x40c review

The Kenda Flintridge Pro is a tough gravel tyre for dry, fast-rolling conditions. It's easy to fit to tubeless rims, offers low resistance on and off-road and, even in this less-protective version, it's robust. It struggles in muddy conditions, true, but nevertheless it's a good all-rounder.

Osprey Savu 4L waist bag review

The Osprey Savu waist pack offers four litres of cargo space and a minimalist design that's intended for use with water bottles – there's no provision for a drinks bladder. It's relatively large and won't suit smaller riders, but it's structurally rigid, well-supported, well-ventilated, and the price is good.
