Bikeradar has reviewed a selection of Birzman tools. Check out what they had to say:

Torque About Tools is our new semi-regular round-up of the latest workshop tools to land at BikeRadar HQ.

Bikeradar has reviewed the 100% Brisker Gloves. Here is what they had to say:

The 100% Briskers fit snugly and keep your hands toasty in the rain, while remaining grippy. They are also hardwearing and touchscreen-friendly.

Off-Road.cc reviewed the Peaty's Holeshot CO2 Inflator Kit. Here is what they had to say:

Peaty's Holeshot CO2 Inflator is a unique, ultra-minimalist, and brilliantly designed tyre inflator that’s so intuitive to use it’s a wonder it hasn’t been done before, making it an ideal candidate for the best CO2 inflators you can buy. 

Alongside helmets, knee pads have become an integral part of many riders’ equipment. The market for knee pads is huge and includes everything from slim and super-light models to bulky, heavy-duty protectors. However, most riders tend to roam on their home trails and negotiate climbs under their own steam. For this type of rider, a comfortable lightweight knee pad is the optimal choice – and yet a high level of protection is paramount!

Road.cc Has reviewed the EA50 AX Handlebars. Here is what they had to say:  

The Easton EA50 AX handlebar is a great value gravel bar with just the right curve, and enough flare in the drops for control off-road – but not so much it looks weird for the road. If you don't want something full-on gravelly wide it's ideal, but on long rough rides it's hard to miss its unyielding rigidity.

Road.cc has reviewed the EC70 Aero handlebars. Here is what they had to say: 

The Easton EC70 Aero Handlebar is light, stiff and offers plenty of comfortable hand positions. Internal cable routing keeps things looking clean, and it's easy to set up too. It doesn't come cheap, though.

PinkBike has put the Fox 34 fork up against the Öhlins RXF34 m.2. Here is what they had to say:

The Fox 34 is the obvious rival for the RXF34 m.2, not just because they share a stanchion diameter, but the weight and intended use put them both in the same little niche, in-between the SID and Pike from RockShox. Mike Kazimer described it as a standout option in his recent review, so it's the obvious benchmark.

BikeRadar has reviewed the Skratch Labs Anytime Energy Bar. Here is what they had to say:

The Skratch Labs Anytime Energy Bar is chocolate chip and almond flavoured, moistened by cranberries and a mixture of nut and seed butter.

Maintain your STATUS with the new SP22 colourways, now offered from 100%'s mid-level & best selling full face downhill/BMX helmet.

Bikeperfect awards the Peaty's Holeshot Biofibre Tubless Tyre Sealant a 5 out of 5. Check out the review below:

Peaty’s brand new sealant is designed to be eco-friendly but still seal punctures better than any other. We’ve been shredding and lab stabbing to find out.

BikeBiz has reviewed the Fox 32 Taper-Cast Gravel Fork - Here are their thoughts.

Fox has announced the release of a new suspension fork designed for gravel riding.

CyclingTips have reviewed the FOX 32 Taper-Cast, here is what they had to say:

Fox’s first attempt at a gravel suspension fork was lackluster at best, but this new 32 Taper-Cast might surprise a lot of people for how good it is.

BikePerfect has reviewed the Fox Float 36 Factory GRIP2 Fork, Here's what they thought: 

Fox introduced this, the latest 36, in the 2021 season and it rapidly established itself as the best mountain bike fork for aggressive mid-travel trail riding. A new air-spring and damping range finally caters for lighter or less aggressive riders but still delivers for proper pinners. While this superb fork is top of the range, the Factory version we're looking at here isn’t the most cost-effective model though.

MBR has reviewed the Fox 36/38 XL Mud Guard, here is what they had to say: 

These purpose-made mudguards from Fox are designed to work seamlessly with Fox 36 and 38 forks.

offroad.cc has reviewed the Birzman Packman Travel Frame Pack, here are their thoughts:

Birzman’s Packman series is designed for travel and offers a range of bags to attach to various parts of your bike. These can be mixed and matched to cater to your individual needs.

MBR has reviewed the Birzman Infinite Snap-It Apogee mini-pump, here is what they thought:

With its highly polished silver surface, the Snap-It Apogee definitely stands out amongst a sea of black sticks that make up the best mountain bike mini-pumps.

Cycling News has reviewed the Michelin Power Gravel TLR Tyre, here are their thoughts:

Despite lacking a 650b option, the Michelin Power Gravel TLR is a fast and capable tyre that's adept on almost every surface.

Road.cc has tested the Easton EC90 SLX Di2 Handlebar. Here are their thoughts: 

The Easton EC90 SLX Di2 handlebar is conventionally shaped and weighs very little.

Off-Road.cc have reviewed the CushCore Bead Bro, here are their thoughts:

The CushCore Bead Bro is a simple yet incredibly effective little tool that makes a mammoth task an awful lot easier. It’s cheap, small, and a must-have, even if you don’t run tyre inserts.

Welcome to the coronation. FOX 36: The undisputed all-mountain champion gets a new crown.

For MY23 the FOX 36 receives an update in the form of a new crown with updated design and engineering for more steerer tube overlap improving durability and maintaining stiffness while dropping 20 grams.

Off.road.cc has reviewed the Michelin Jet XC2 tyre. Here is what they had to say:

The Michelin Jet XC2 is a dry weather cross-country tyre that has the potential to deliver incredible levels of grip for the style, size and weight in the right conditions. As you might expect, it doesn't cope with mud well, and there are question marks about the casing protection, but it is incredible as a race-day summer tyre.

MBR tested the Marzocchi Bomber CR shock, here is what they had to say:

Coil shocks are enjoying something of a resurgence at the moment as riders look for extra grip and damping performance on more challenging terrain, be that steeper or rougher.

Bikeradar has reviewed the Fox Float X2 Factory shock. Here is what they said:

The Float X2 shock’s high price goes in hand-in-hand with high performance. Excellent depth and range of on-trail performance make this shock one of the best upgrades money can buy.
