  Review: Sealey Digital Brake Disc & Drum Caliper (productReview)
  What is it? In these digital times, you don’t want to be measuring the wear of your brake discs and small brake drums manually, do you? No you don’t. So it’s Sealey’s Digital Brake Disc & Drum

  Review: Boardman ADV 8.6 gravel bike (productReview)
  rivals such as the Specialized Diverge 5 E5 and you'll find it kitted out with Shimano's cheaper Claris derailleurs and shifters. The only cost-cutting is the Tektro MD-C510 cable-actuated disc brakes, rather than the more responsive hydraulic disc brakes on Boardman's ADV 8.9.   At this price

  Review: Bridgestone Potenza Sport (productReview)
  tyre is available for wheels from 17-inch up to 22-inch (there are 96 sizes in fact), making it ideal for cars and SUVs. The Potenza Sport replaces the Potenza S001 in the Bridgestone range and is designed to offer high cornering and straight line stability, dry braking grip as well as strong

  Review: Peugeot Django 125 2017 (productReview)
  enough to squeeze through gaps and filter through traffic jams, plus it’s stable and has a nice natural riding position. Ride quality isn’t great though. The little wheels thud through potholes – but through corners it’s predictable enough, even when the weather isn’t great. The brakes are decent

  Review: Gurston Down Hill Climb Driving School experience (productReview)
  up the hill with an instructor who takes the time to explain each aspect of the hill, the best line and why, where to brake and where not to brake, and when to put your foot down. Next, you all get behind the wheel for two convoy runs which give you a better feel for the hill and where those apexes

  Review: Piaggio MP3 300ie Yourban 2016 (productReview)
  the Piaggio MP3 500 are not exempt because of their length, so if you’re travelling into the capital every day the 300 is the one to go for. There are a few extra controls on a Yourban compared to a traditional scooter - the steering lock mentioned earlier, a parking brake and a foot operated brake

  Review: Lexmoto Viper 125 2017 (productReview)
  – the suspension soaks up the worst bumps, while the bars give plenty of leverage. That, along with quite narrow wheels, makes the Viper quick to turn into corners and effortlessly easy. That said, don’t expect mountains of grip from the budget tyres, nor the most potent performance from the brakes

  Review: MASH Black Seven 125 (productReview)
  it features fuel injection, combined braking and a noticeably higher price than you might expect. So, it only makes sense to compare the Black Seven to another Chinese brand's 125, like

  Review: Vespa Elettrica (productReview)
  ’ soon out of its depth in exactly the same way as a 50cc machine. To help get the most out of the battery’s range, the Elettrica uses regenerative braking to top up the battery’s charge as you slow down. This means you don’t need to use the brakes as much as on a traditional petrol-powered
• Review: Honda Vision 110 (productReview)
  control, the quicker it goes. The same drama-free interaction applies to the brakes, which use the same bicycle layout as most rivals to the Vision. However, Honda supplies this model with its linked brake system, so when you pull on the front brake disc, the rear drum also plays its part to offer stable

  Review: Razor E-Prime electric scooter (productReview)
  for. What's it like? A whole lot of fun. But, to be a bit more technical, the E-Prime is constructed of a durable, aluminium frame and an anti-rattle, folding deck - which is extra-long and extra-wide so that adult riders don't have to awkwardly lean one foot against the back brake while

  Review: Smart Polish Pro Waterless Wash and Wax (productReview)
  is used to buff the surface to a shine. Does it work? We decided to first test Waterless Wash and Wax on a motorcycle, since in a small area you’ll find dead flies, grease and brake dust to clear away. If the product can cope with that, it can cope with the panels

  Review: Honda CB650F (productReview)
  . There’s no concern over build quality, though, and the CB650F reeks of Honda’s usual attention to detail. Granted, you don’t get much in the way of standard kit other than ABS brakes. The rear shock absorber is adjustable, but that’s your lot for tweaking the set-up. Once on the road, you won’t

  Review: Peugeot Metropolis 400i RXR 2017 Road Test (productReview)
  -operated brake and an electric parking brake, but aside from that it’s just a big scooter. A very stable scooter, too. Through corners the Metropolis is really confidence inspiring – you can crank it over into turns with almost carefree abandon. That’s especially useful in bad weather, where

  Review: Suzuki Katana (2019) (productReview)
  . What’s different are the brakes, borrowed from the present GSX-R, digital dash display and the one-piece handlebars. Beginning with the brakes, there’s nothing wrong in this department as they offer plenty of feel in the dry or wet and there’s ABS there to save you from unwelcome lock-ups. However

  Review: Carrera Crossfire 2 hybrid bike (productReview)
  on-road as it is down a dirt path - making it ideal for those looking for a capable road bike that'll shorten their commute and can handle a bit of weekend off-roading. The second-generation, mountain bike styled hybrid features 24 gears, adjustable front suspension and mechanical disc brakes

  Review: Kawasaki ZX-10R SE (productReview)
  with a graceful ease that others could do well to mimic. You’ll also notice a little less pitch under braking or squat when accelerating hard as the electronic systems take care of stiffening the suspension to suit. This is done a thousand times per second, so it’s as much as five times quicker
• Review: Honda NSC 50 E Vision (productReview)
  performance. Fold-down foot pegs are fitted so passengers feel secure on the bike. Honda provides linked CBS brakes as standard on the Vision 50. It means both front disc and rear drum are applied when the rider pulls on the lever. In most conditions, you won’t notice this, but on slithery wet roads

  Review: Kymco X-Town (productReview)
  twin front floating disc brakes in isolation it could feel a little overwhelmed when pulling up sharply, such as when a car pulls out without indicating. Feed in a little of the single 240mm disc rear stopper and you can come to a controlled halt every time. You also have anti-lock brakes as standard
