Fresh Gear continues to roll in, have a look at some of the new products the Bike Magazine are getting comfy with, including the new Renthal Fatbars (ridden by Sam Hill), Syncros FRIC stem and a sweet multi-tool from Blackburn.

Blackburn Toolmanator-3 - $14
“Another multi-tool?” you ask. Hell yeah. At least if it comes to the party packing 17 tragedy flouting functions, including a friggin’ shock pump. Crazy, eh? Despite being loaded with all manner of repair goodness, the Toolmanator-3 is surprisingly compact, with a frame crafted out of a single hunk of aluminum. Cool bits include hardened, forged and drawn chrome-vanadium hex wrenches, T25 and T30 Torx heads, flat and Philips screwdrivers, a 10-speed chain breaker and 14-/15- gauge spoke wrenches.
Renthal Fatbars - $90
Renthal has gained quite the reputation in the moto world for making durable, high-quality parts designed, developed and manufactured at its facilities in Stockport, England. The company’s Fatbars come in at 780-millimeters wide (with cut lines down to 680-millimeters) and three different rises. The 38-millimeter rise versions, shown here, weigh in at a respectable 365 grams (claimed).
Syncros FRIC Stem - $80
Most freeride-worthy stems are as light as elephants and as svelte as bricks. And then there’s the new FRIC: a mere 123 grams of industrial-design sexiness. Though the sleek FRIC is weight-weenie light, Syncros claims its new stem is also big-hit tough, thanks to its forged construction and innovative clamp design.
