No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Turbo Trainers.

Our aim is simple, help you get the very best products for your budget. Whether that’s Wahoo KICKR Core Smart Turbo Trainer 2018 or an alternative, we’ll do our best to find you unbiased, genuine customer reviews to help you make your decision.
