Before you invest in anything new, take the time to read professional cycling equipment reviews from our team of experienced riders and industry experts. Reading reviews gives you a better idea of what you can expect BEFORE you buy, thereby reducing the possibility that you'll regret a future purchase.

It’s not just Campagnolo, Shimano, Rapha and ASSOS. Our cycling reviews cover all the primary categories you would expect, including:

  • Bikes and bike parts
  • Helmets, gloves, etc.
  • Cycling apparel (jerseys, bib shorts, cycling shoes, etc.)

We also cover areas that other sites do not. For example, we review cycling books and the best apps for cyclists. Our cycling reviews help readers better understand what kind of information a book or digital publication offers so they can make their own decisions as to whether to read it or not.

Some sites offer only a few cursory bike reviews without a lot of detail. Sportive.com takes reviewing to the next level. From cycling gear reviews to our own reviews of the latest cycling publications, we give you a tonne of information to help you make wise decisions.
