Freedom Racine Elite saddle
Freedom is the road brand of WTB. They describe the Racine saddle, which is similar to the WTB Rocket V Race, as a 'lightweight racing model'. Weight is pretty good for a chrome-moly railed saddle, but the price and ride feel suggest that this is an entry-level sports saddle for generic riding duties rather than one for your Sunday best bike.

Tested Pivot Mach 5.7 Carbon
“… you can absolutely hammer through rock gardens and stay on the gas along deep ruts without fear…”
“There’s no doubt the Pivot feels bomber solid and looks purposeful. It is efficient, precise and covers ground quickly.”
“It’s also chock-full of contemporary fixtures and fittings and is surprisingly good value for a boutique bike with this finish and attention to detail.”

London Cyclist Lezyne Workshop Tools Review
London Cyclist Lezyne LED Review
“…it’s the performance we found impressive…”
“In both on and off-road use, we found that they gave really concentrated central beam that spreads its wings much further than lights costing three times more.”
“Off-road it was enough for the Super Drive to light up a double-track not just a portion of it…”
“Best compact lights for under £100”

Kinesis Racelight TK2 review
Essentially it’s a 21st century version of the traditional winter road bike that almost no major manufacturer actually makes any more.
The TK2 is entirely comfy for longer rides.
..there aren’t many bikes that have the TK2’s successful combination of lively ride and all-season practicality.
…a very good winter trainer or year-round commuter, and with the guards off and lighter tyres would be just fine for summer Sportives too.

Tested Pivot Mach 5.7
Pivot’s best selling trailbike was decided the moment the Arizona bike brand released the five-inch-travel Mach 5. By luck or design, it was a near-prefect blend of honest handling and cross-country efficiency. While the Mach 5 was designed to be a longer-travel XC/trailbike, the Mach 5.7, with its slack head angle and re-curved suspension metrics retains the efficient pedaling of its sibling’s position-sensitive dw-link suspension, but adds a new level of handling and confidence that encourages its pilot to stray deeper into the technical realm. Set up with Pivot’s Shimano XTR build kit, our medium-sized test bike weighed 25.9 pounds ready to rock with Shimano XT trail pedals. Expect to pay around $6899 for a similar build.
