About 10 years ago, a certain French company called Furion paired a twin-rotor, 654cc Wankel rotary engine with a 40-kilowatt electric motor to produce a massive 180 hp and 151 lb-ft (205 Nm) of instant torque on a motorcycle. It was called the M1 and was already pretty sick for its time.

Out of all the recreational and workaday-to-holiday Australia-style canopies we've seen over the years, none have looked quite like the new CX-Series from Tekton Expedition. In place of the usual cold metal shell, Tekton applies the composite-shaping expertise it honed on the small trailer side of its business to create a thermally isolated fiberglass monocoque that looks like a high-end fiberglass trailer bolted to the back of a Nissan Navara. A full ecosystem of tempting components turn the capacious empty canopy into a proper Outback camping and touring survival tool.

When it comes to everyday carry (EDC) tools, we usually think of folding knives, compact multitools, and ultralight flashlights. One category, however, is often overlooked – reliable clamping tools.

Traditional power meters are mounted on just one bike, limiting their use to that particular vehicle. Such is not the case with the cleat-integrated CycloWatt, however, which can be used with as many road bikes as you can lay your hands on.

Over a decade ago, Finnish tire brand Nokian showed off a radical concept for a winter tire that could deploy studs for better grip on snow- and ice-covered roads at the push of a button – but it didn't actually make the thing, or even describe how this tech would ever work.

Berg Offroad shook up the camper scene a couple years ago when it introduced the CX6, a caravan that packs into a neat 17.5-foot-long (5.4-m) squaredrop before expanding in every direction to create a huge base camp for up to six people. The company followed up with a two-/three-person floor plan built into that same towable footprint, and now it's launched what strikes us as its most universal trailer of all: a three-/four-person CX4 sized to sleep the family in complete comfort way out in the uniquely wild bushvelds of South Africa and greater environs.
