This month, Jamie is on the sofa with Liam to take a look at the very best products that we've reviewed over the past 30-days or so. But it isn't just the products that we take a look at. Each month we have a recommended route for you, along with a lovely cafe to stop at.

And then we also pick the brains of our highly knowledgeable staff to bring you some top-quality buying advice on a new topic each month. This time, it's the turn of the humble commuter bike.

The Specialized Align II is a sleeker, sportier, more modern-looking helmet than its predecessor and, although a little more expensive, you now get Mips (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) included.

At just £45 it is certainly one of the better value Mips-equipped helmets out there.

"Simply stunning": The brand new 12-speed Ultegra Di2 Disc groupset delivers exceptional shifting and braking performance that makes it hard to see the point of Dura-Ace.

Unless you particularly want to spend more, or need to save that little bit of weight, we reckon it's difficult to look past Ultegra R8170. The shifting is smoother across the cassette than previously, and the brakes have improved too. It is just brilliant.

Gore's ShakeDry fabric is class-leading in its ability to keep you dry from both water coming in and moisture that wants to get out. The addition of stretch panels makes for a close fit so if you want to go fast, stay dry and your budget allows, this is the jacket for you.

Castelli's updated Free Aero RC bib shorts are its best ever, combining a superb level of comfort with plenty of support and some neat features. Plus, the Progetto X Air seamless seat pad is among the best out there.

Overall, the Free Aero RC bib shorts put in an excellent performance. The pad is exceptionally good, the comfort elsewhere is similarly impressive, and the price... well, it reflects the high quality.

Those are just some of the products that will be in the latest selection. Head over to road.cc Recommends to check out all the latest additions, as well as those from previous months.
