Product review: Tucano Urbano satchel

Steve Farrell, 15 June 2012 10:32

Tucano Urbano satchel, £59.99Time used: Three months What’s good: It’s a smart and practical shoulder bag. There are lots compartments inside and out. When you’re riding, it stays where you want it – on your back rather than under an arm – thanks to an additional strap that goes around your midriff. Off the bike it can be carried over ...

Product review: BMW GS Enduro bodywarmer

Steve Farrell, 10 April 2012 17:01

BMW GS Enduro bodywarmer, £77 (discontinued)Time owned: Nine months What’s good: Wear it under a jacket while riding or on its own while not. It’s got pockets inside and out and it’s warm with a soft lining. It’s so comfy I wear it about the house and am constantly being told to take my coat off by my partner. Typically ...

Product review: Xena XX10 Disc Lock Alarm

Steve Farrell, 20 January 2012 12:42

Xena XX10 Disc Lock Alarm, £64.99Time owned: 18 months What’s good: It’s a formidable disc lock and self-arming alarm. By means of jiggery pokery, it can tell whether or not it’s attached to a disc. When it is, the slightest movement will set off a piercing alarm. When it isn’t, it won’t. It’s a handsome gadget in stainless steel. What’s ...

Shock rebuild by Brook Suspension

Steve Farrell, 09 November 2011 10:22

Shock rebuild by Brook Suspension, £185 Miles covered/time: 1000/three months What's good: It’s saved over £100 compared to getting a replacement shock for my Kawasaki KR1S. If it hadn't needed a new rod as part of the rebuild, a further £75 could have been saved. A new shock would have meant losing the damping adjuster mounted on the sub-frame, which ...

Tucano Urbano Urbis winter coat

Steve Farrell, 08 March 2011 10:54

Tucano Urbano Urbis winter coat, £165.90Miles covered/time: 2000/three months. What's good: It manages the feat of not looking out of place either on or off the bike. At the pub or in the park with the kids, it only looks slightly like a bike jacket. When riding, it looks and feels completely like one, with all practical features you'd expect ...

Boot review: Alpinestars Web Gore-Tex

Steve Farrell, 21 December 2010 15:02

Alpinestars Web Gore-Tex boots, £159.99 (£159.95 on MCN shop)Miles covered/time: 6000/one year What’s good? Riding 80 miles a day to work through winter, I find boots are probably the single most important piece of kit. Many look the part but just aren’t warm enough when it comes to the crunch. Even the tiniest water leak is a disaster. Save cash ...

Product review: Oxford heated vest

Steve Farrell, 03 September 2010 19:30

Oxford heated vest, £79.99Miles covered: 3000 miles/six monthsWhat's good? Personally I find riding involves enough faffing with kit without also having to plug yourself in. Power leads from conventional heated vests to the bike's battery can end up scuffing paintwork. And you're tied to the bike they're wired to. Not so with this. Its rechargeable battery, which is smaller than ...

Jacket review: Bering Banks

Steve Farrell, 18 May 2010 14:33

Bering Banks coat, £250Mile covered: 4000/one year What’s good? It serves just as well as a smart everyday coat as it does for riding. It’s Gore-Tex, so there’s no question of water seepage. Save £££s on motorcycle jackets There’s removable armour at shoulders, elbows and back. A thermal lining is also removable, so you can use it all year – ...

Kit review: Ferrari Rosso helmet

Steve Farrell, 10 September 2009 17:19

Product: Ferrari Rosso helmet, £179.99 (£161.99 on MCN Shop) Miles covered/time: 2000/one yearWhat’s good? If you’re prepared to accept the risk of having an exposed chin, open-face helmets make sense for town riding, and this one is a thing of beauty. The visor is big enough to stop rogue bits of dust getting in your eyes and the chin strap ...

Klan Hot Sport waistcoat and Bering Banks coat rated

Steve Farrell, 11 February 2009 17:29

These two items are making the Arctic weather we’re getting lately infinitely more bearable. The heated waistcoat comes with an on-off switch and leads that attach directly to your bike’s battery. It was easy to wire up to the CBF I’m using for my commute. Unlike some heated clothing it has heat elements spread throughout instead of just in key ...
