Buying Guides

When choosing a cycling backpack, there are a couple of important considerations to make in order to get the right product for you. First, you’ll want to ensure that your backpack has an adjustable chest strap to stop it from moving around too much when you’re on the move. Second, consider which size backpack you’ll need.

If you’re competing in triathlons or racing the clock in time trials then you should consider investing in a set of aerobars. As the name suggests, Aerobars allow the rider to achieve a more aerodynamic position on the bike which reduces wind resistance and therefore increases speed.

An action camera is a great way to capture all the excitement from your rides, whether they be on or off road. When deciding which action camera is right for you, the first step is to consider what type of footage you’d like to capture, and which technical specifications are important to you .

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a roadie, a trail warrior or a daily commuter, every rider should have a well stocked accessory kit. The best bike accessory kits will include everything you need to get you out of trouble including a pump, patch kit and tyre levers which can be conveniently carried in a durable saddle bag.

BMX bikes are used for a wide range of BMX disciplines, including BMX race, dirt, freestyle, street, park, and more. Given their size, durability, and simplicity, BMX bikes are a great option for older children and adolescents. As you progress through the kids range, models become stronger, more rugged and more suitable for racing and tricks.

Fixie and single speed bikes are beautifully simple bikes with only one gear. They're modelled on old school track bikes, and just have a single speed, with no shifters and derailleurs, which makes them little to no maintenance. A fixie has a fixed-hub, so your pedals always move with the wheels, while a single speed bike has a free-hub like a conventional bike.

Electric bikes or e-bikes are bicycles powered by a long life battery that runs an electric motor. The motor acts to assist pedalling, making the act of riding simpler, easy and faster. You can control the amount of assistance the motor provides, which either increase or decrease the energy required by the battery or the rider.

Cyclocross bikes are designed specifically for cyclocross racing, a hybrid event that takes cues from both road cycling and mountain biking. Cyclocross bikes look similar to road bikes, with the main differences being the knobbed, off-road tyres; strong wheelsets; and braking systems that allow for better clearance of mud and debris.

Cruiser bikes are classically styled, simple and comfortable - perfect options for around town riding and commuting. Cruiser bikes have a relaxed, upright riding position, which makes them comfortable and easy to ride (particularly at low speeds). Cruiser bikes often have only one or a few gears, making them very simple to ride and extremely easy to maintain.
