WHY OUR TESTS ARE THE BEST!
Our technical-editor-in-chief Rob Weaver gets new products in as soon as they’re available and coordinates all the testing through our team of tech experts, who have unrivalled knowledge and experience. Every test starts with a detailed product check in the workshop. Next, we hit the trails… hard! We test in real riding conditions, incorporating feedback from multiple riders, and don’t stop until we have the complete picture, no matter how long it takes. Our testing is staunchly independent and not influenced by PR or advertisers (sometimes to their great discomfort). We’re never afraid to tell you the truth.
HOW WE RATE
We base our scores on value for money and performance
The best product on test, in terms of performance, quality and price
An exceptional bit of kit for the money – you’re getting a fantastic deal
A truly outstanding piece of gear, regardless of how
