Canyon Endurace AL 7 Review

We rode the Endurace AL 7 for 600 miles across British B-roads, hill climbs, and commuters. It's one of the most complete entry-level road bikes we've tested — but the stock tyres let it down. Here's what you need to know.

Specialized Align II MIPS Helmet

A £50 helmet with MIPS protection? We were sceptical too. After three months of daily use, we're genuinely impressed — with one caveat about the sizing system.

Cateye AMPP 800 / Rapid Mini Light Set

The best balance of brightness, battery life, and reliability we've found for under £100. We tested these through a wet British winter — here's how they held up.
