Published:
The V10 is a compact piece of bicycle fixery that wields 10 forged and machined chrome vanadium tool bits, all sandwiched between two CNC-machined 7075 aluminium side plates.
It’s one of the smallest (63x50x15mm) and lightest (102g) multi-tools – with a chain breaker – that we’ve seen. The slim design and minimal weight mean it’s unobtrusive and can be stuck in a pocket or tucked in a pack and forgotten about until you need it.
The well finished tool bits sport all the essentials, including T25 and T30 Torx drivers, and a separate 8mm Allen key, rather than the usual snap-on attachment. They all work well and even their pivots are nicely machined. There are no loose or snaggy bits either, which is a bonus.
The wide body means you can get a decent grip when wrenching but the chain tool’s smooth tab can be a little fiddly if you have a truly troublesome link. It also lacks a second set of chain teeth for freeing stiff links, although that could be done manually.

Rob first graced the pages of MBUK back in 2001 when working as a freelance writer and went on to start testing bikes for the title in 2007. In 2010 he joined the team full-time and has been keeping a close eye on all things test-related ever since. Rob’s expansive knowledge of bikes comes courtesy of his passion for racing. He cut his teeth racing cross-country mountain bikes in the early 90s before finding his feet in downhill. After many years competing on the UK national circuit (including a year attempting to race UCI DH World Cups), Rob realised his know-how and passion for bike setup, tech and writing clearly outweighed his racing ability. A degree in sports technology and decades of riding experience all help to give Rob a thorough understanding of what’s needed to create a great bike or product. While Rob’s a mountain biker at heart and never happier than when he’s sliding down a Welsh hillside, he’s more than happy to put the miles in on the road or gravel bike, too.
