Here's another very positive review for the Lezyne Radar system with some great takeaways and quotes from the influentail team BikeRadar.

"The Radar Drive Rear is a clever, adaptable radar with brilliant performance from its bright light"

"What's really impressive, though, is you can buy it as a set with the front light for an RRP of £260. That's the same as the RearVue 820, which doesn't include a front light."

"Lezyne's clever idea of pairing a rear radar with a front light works well. Combine that with the fact that the full system costs the same as Garmin’s RearVue 820 and it's a compelling reason to buy.

The performance as a light is excellent – it's comfortably one of the brightest on test, matching the larger BBB, but the difference is the solid radar performance."

Last weekend saw the DexShell sponsored Cateran Dirt Dash held in the stunning surroundings of the Cairngorns National Park.

Feedback from riders was very positive and it's a terrific event to look out for again in 2027, where it will also be sponsored by Lezyne and Stans NoTubes. Organiser and friend of Upgrade and Kinesis UK, Markus Stitz also took this fantastic gallery of images.

Pencil in the end of May 2027 for the next edition or visit Dirt Dash CC for all of Markus's great events.

The team at road.cc recently reviewed the Challenge Tires 4 Stagioni XP tyres, scoring them a solid 7 out of 10 rating them strongly for quality and performance but marked them down a touch for value.

They summarised that "The Challenge 4 Stagioni XP Handmade TLR is a high quality tyre that offers good grip in the wet, and is a bit more durable than the other handmade TLRs in Challenge’s range. It’s easier to fit too".

The tech team Cycling Weekly have chosen the Lezyne Sport Drive HV as the best budget hand pump on the market in their latest round up of best bike mini pumps for 2026.

With a 4.5 out of 5 star rating the reviewers found it "Incredibly efficient for a budget mini pump" and it is great value at just over £20 retail. We have plenty in stock now too.

It wasn't the only win for Lezyne either, but more on that another time. Here's the link if you want to browse but we reckon that you can't ever go wrong by choosing Leyzne! https://www.cyclingweekly.com/group-tests/best-cycle-mini-pumps-buyers-guide-114355 -best-budget-mini-pump
