While designed to excel in high-pressure tubeless systems, Rolled Gold offers increased puncture protection across a wide range of tyre pressures and is injectable through the valve for easy installation.

Another excellent Lezyne e-Drive review, this time from Singletracks.com - Mountain Bike Trails & Reviews who make some great observations:

"Like almost all the other pumps I’ve tested, the E-Drive lets you set a target pressure, and it shuts off automatically once the tire gets there. What sets the E-Drive apart is that each press of the +/- button moves the target by 0.5psi (or 0.05 bar), making it more precise than any other inflator I’ve tested" - Singletracks

They even use it to pump up forks;
"The E-Drive is also Schrader-compatible and delivers up to 120psi of pressure, which means you can even use it to top off your fork. I pumped my Fox 34 to 75psi in under 10 seconds." - Singletracks

"If you can live with the extra grams and the required hose, the E-Drive is the electric pump I’d pick for inflation speed and longevity." - Singletracks

We're delighted to welcome Newlane to the Upgrade family. This quote from Matt Killick, our head of sales is a great introduction to the brand and why we've added it to our portfolio:

“We’re really pleased to be bringing Newlane Helmets into the Upgrade family of brands. Newlane offers something genuinely different, combining the practicality of a folding helmet with MIPS technology, which we believe gives our dealers a great opportunity to stand out in a competitive market. We see real potential with commuters and everyday cyclists who want a helmet that’s easy to carry and store without compromising on safety technology. We’re looking forward to introducing Newlane to our dealer network and working together to grow the brand across the UK.”

We love to see videos like this, helping people navigate tyre choice for Cyclo-cross racing ... in this case tyre choices for sand, featuring the options from Challenge Tires, which we reckon are the gold standard.

If you're a 'cross racer - tyre choice and pressures is a rich seam of discussion and consideration, so you'll love this - whether you're an experienced racer or not. https://youtu.be/xxOtSrX8ZiY?si=tzUqI0jtKS3yZ8NY
