Magene’s top-end bike computer, the C606 Pro Smart GPS, is currently been used by UCI WorldTour team XDS Astana Team.
It features a 2.8-inch colour touchscreen, a claimed 25 hours of battery life and has the ability to connect to ANT+ and Bluetooth sensors. In comparison, the Wahoo Elemnt Roam 3 also has a 2.8-inch touchscreen and a claimed 25 hours of battery life, but costs £369.
Paul Grele is currently testing the C606 Pro Smart bike computer, so check back soon for his full verdict.

The S-Works level Power Evo Mirror launched last summer, and now you can get the same Mirror support and comfort at the Pro level, saving around £100 with only a slight weight penalty.
The Power Evo Pro with Mirror saddle uses the same 3D-printed thermoplastic and features the same Body Geometry pressure relief central cutout. The Pro model also uses a more durable carbon-reinforced nylon shell and 7mm round hollow titanium rails, replacing the full-carbon shell and oval carbon rails found on the S-Works version.
We are testing the 143mm version, which weighs 250g on our scales – just 29g more than the claimed weight of the S-Works saddle in the same size.

Last month, Rapha updated its Brevet long-distance collection with a new addition to the range: the Packable Backpack.
It’s designed to keep your essentials secure and neatly organised without the bulk or weight of a traditional rucksack, according to Rapha, offering a 10-litre capacity while packing down to just 8 x 6 x 4cm and weighing only 42g. It also features Rapha’s signature Brevet reflective stripe.
Check back soon for Paul’s full review.

If you’re in the market for a track pump, it’s hard to see beyond the Topeak Joe Blow Sport. Built around the JoeBlow Sport III platform, which scored 9/10 in our review, the JoeBlow Sport Digital 2.0 adds a 3in LED digital gauge.
It features a steel barrel and hardened steel base, an oversized padded handle, and a TwinHead compatible with Presta, Schrader and Dunlop valves. The Sport Digital 2.0 delivers up to 160psi (11 bar) of inflation.

The BIRD NEST 300G Aero Saddle Bag with Magnetic Smart Tail light “combines safety and storage” with a 0.4L saddle bag measuring 17x8x8.5cm, and 100 lumen rear light.
The light uses a magnetic quick-release system, allowing it to be removed for USB-C charging, and it also features an IPX6 waterproof rating, making it suitable for wet-weather riding.
The combined system weighs 138g for the saddle bag and light unit, and at the time of writing is discounted to $73.94 (around £55).

More political BS. It’s not “there’s not enough money for defence” it’s “there’s not enough money for an increase in spending of more than £6bn in one year on defence”. And that follows similar increases in previous years. Compared to a total active travel budget of £0.9bn per year.
Re the mobility scooter / road race incident. What are the chances of the Daily Telegraph running with this one? : “Disabled Pensioner Mowed Down By 85mph Speeding Cyclists.” “How many more pensioners must be killed or injured before number plates and insurance are made mandatory for cyclists, asked Nigel Farage, from his £5m crypto donation enquiry hideout?”
I mean, they could probably just only sell them to people with legitimate licenses for the ebike they are selling them. ie. they have passed their motorbike test. Worrying about private land proof etc just sounds like a nightmare and a huge amount of work. People would be saying “oh yeah, this ebike is just to ride at my local dirt bike track”. Link the purchase to the buyers license and if they want to sell it, they have to sell it to another licensed rider. I think the core issue is perhaps the delivery riders however. I see a tiny proportion of them with what I would think is a legal ebike. Most of them are going way over 15.5mph and many of them don’t even have to pedal to work them.
@Pub bike – stating “the scrotes will find a way around any rules regardless” is pretty much agreeing with me that introducing new rules around the sale/purchase is the wrong way to tackle the issue. With sufficient traffic policing, the scrotes will get nicked, whereas introducing additional rules is pointless without increasing the enforcement.
@hawkinspeter The scrotes will find a way around any rules regardless. I frequently see riders speeding along with bicycles with enormous motors in the rear wheels where the chainsets have been removed altogether and foot rests have been installed into the bottom bracket. The bill being introduced under the 10 minute rule is about the marketing, sale and supply of them including conversion kits. I suspect it will be difficult to write a bill that simultaneously allows the sale of motorbikes whether electrically powered or not for private off-road use whilst restricting them for on-road use. Better surely to make it really hard to buy any kind of motorbike without it being registered with the DVLA and the keeper having the correct licence and insurance. But the police need play their part as well in stopping the riders and confiscating what they are riding. It is not like they are difficult to spot.
What “tougher regulation”? The clue is in the name: these things are illegal (and, I agree, an absolute menace).
Thanks for the excellent review – I know it’s just one Google search away, but I think any bike review in this day and age should include max tyre clearance.
Yesterday, I organised “On Your Bike”, a christening of this new cycle spine from Pittville to Bishops Cleeve. Between 11.30 and 14.30, we recorded 539 cyclists using this cycle path whilst the car boot was still busy. Everybody was kept safe and moving by the car boot sale’s excellent stewards. I don’t see any risk to users of the bike path. I also think its an excellent opportunity for cyclists and other road users to rub shoulders in a positive and friendly way. I cannot see why a cycling community would want to try and stir and stoke friction with an article like this.
“I know in NL they have trialled semi-portable “test stations” to check max motor speeds.” Worth noting, the dutch police have long had dynos to test mopeds for power/speed limits. Maybe generally kept at the station usually. But the newer portable ones do not look very different from the one my own moped got tested on at a station in the 90s.
@mctrials23 I agree, these illegal electric motorcycles have considerable advantages for the ne’er-do-well over there more traditional weapon of two-stroke dirt bikes, as you say, easier to store, you could get one up to a flat in a high-rise building easily which you couldn’t do with a petrol-powered motorcycle, easy and much cheaper to fuel from any home power socket, no going down the petrol station and risking being caught, way less maintenance, if you can look after a pushbike you can look after one of these, and they are even silent so you can smash them around the woods and recreation grounds without people calling the police having heard the noise. Personally I would say a ban on sales of full-on electric motorcycles like Surrons to anyone who can’t provide justification for use, e.g. farmers and other people who demonstrably have enough private land to use them, would be perfectly appropriate.
