There’s certainly no denying it – we are very much spoilt here at Singletrack. We’ve been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to spend time on some very lovely bikes over the years, and more often than not, those bikes tend to be very expensive too.
Admittedly, it is (the good bit of) our job to test the very latest carbon fibre wunder-machines. You could even say that it’s our civic duty to be constantly drowned in all of the latest high-end components. And after all, without properly testing these ‘groundbreaking’ products in real-world British conditions, we’d all be at the mercy of that bubbling cesspool of slick marketing jargon, flashy catalogue photos, and fully rad video edits. And who wants to live in that weird hyper-reality?
