Crankbrothers Multi 19 Multitool
A list of riding essentials wouldn’t be complete without a multi-tool. Our choice has included the Multi 19 multi-tool from a brand well-established in the mountain biking world. Here, Crank Brothers have created a compact yet lightweight essential from titanium which carries all the necessary features needed on your ride. With the ever-increasing complexity of today’s bikes, why go for anything less than the best when it comes to fixing them?
Fidlock Twist Bottle 590
Complete with a base kit, the Fidlock Twist Bottle eliminates the need for any bottle cage. Instead, it’s been replaced with the satisfying click that is synonymous with the Fidlock brand. No longer does your bottle suffer the risk of vibrating out of its cage when the trail gets technical; the two magnets on the bottle are secured by their counterparts on the mounting system. Complete with a cap for the top, this bottle pairs perfectly for Merlin’s hydration drinks.
