previewIn case you missed it: road.cc Best Cycling Components, Accessories and Clothing of 2018/19 Awards
If you’ve not had the chance to check out road.cc every day this week (sort your priorities out, for goodness' sake) you won’t have seen that we’ve revealed our picks of the very best cycling products from the past 12 months.
These products represent the best in class – the things that made us go ‘wow!’.
Only the highest scoring products from those we’ve tested over the past year made our shortlist. From each shortlist the test team argued and debated and eventually whittled down the contenders to a final selection.
These are the products that impressed us the most in terms of performance, build quality and, in many cases, their innovation too. They’re the current benchmark setters. So if you’re in the market for a few choice upgrades for you and your bike this year, these articles are the perfect place to start.
We’ve linked through to the full road.cc review of each product so you can get more information and real-world feedback. If you really like something, we’ve added a convenient buying link.
We’ve separated everything out into three categories for you. Can't say fairer than that.
• road.cc's Best Cycling Components 2018-19
• road.cc's Best Cycling Clothing of the Year 2018-19
• road.cc's Best Cycling Accessories of the Year 2018-19
David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.
Um...no. Spitting is grim and there is never any excuse.
