4. Brand: LITELOK

Product: LITELOK X1 Plus

Distributor: Direct 

Building on the award-winning LITELOK X1, the new X1 PLUS takes bike security and practicality even further. The original X1 has become the go-to lock for riders who want angle grinder resistance, everyday usability, and premium British design. But for those times when the standard X1 can’t quite reach, securing multiple bikes, larger frames, or thicker stands, we’ve created the LITELOK X1 PLUS. At 60mm longer than the standard X1, the PLUS provides the ideal balance of strength and reach. 

RRP: £199.99 (fixed price).

7. Brand: All Mountain Style

Product: Rise and Barcode Grips

Distributor: Extra UK

Riders don’t hold the bar the same way everywhere. That’s why AMS has launched the Rise and the Barcode. The RISE is unique thanks to its ribbed pads placed 180º apart. Rotate the grip 90º and the external diameter changes noticeably, letting riders fine-tune thickness and comfort with a simple twist. The BARCODE channels classic MTB grip design into a modern package. Its ribbed profile delivers a plush, forgiving feel, especially appreciated by riders who go gloveless. 

RRP: £26 (Barcode), £30 (Rise)
