All the latest products comprehensively tested. If we don’t think a product is worthy of our hard-earned, we won’t tell you to part with yours for it. That’s the promise we make with our bike and equipment tests. For all our tests we guarantee that:

• They’re conducted by some of the most experienced and knowledgeable riders in the business.
• Ratings are awarded only after a thorough testing process on a variety of terrain.
• Tests are independent, and in no way influenced by our advertisers.

Our ratings are awarded out of 10, with 10/10 being the top mark.

• 7  Worth considering
• 8  Very good – for the money, we’d buy it
• 9  Excellent – a slight mod or two and it might be perfect
