Our reviews and ethics policy
Rest assured that all our reviews are independent and free from commercial considerations. We never take money for reviews. Nothing that has a star rating has been paid for.
We sometimes take trips and hospitality to attend shows and see products. We always mention this within our coverage. It doesn’t affect how we think about products but does affect whether we cover certain products (as in we may not have been able to get to see a certain product had the company not taken us to see it).
Almost all our review products are sent to us by the companies involved and usually as a result of our request. We always return products on request or at the end of our agreed loan period. For more on our review processes, please see our 'how we test' page.
We score products on a scale from 1 to 5 stars. Three stars is a good to very good product, four stars is an excellent product. Five stars are never awarded lightly and are a mark of exceptional quality.
Affiliate & Advertising disclosure
We are committed to helping you find the best products and services for your needs and connecting you with trustworthy retailers where you can purchase them at competitive prices. Within our editorial content, we often provide links to products and services on retailer sites for which we can receive compensation – called an affiliate fee – if you click on those links or make purchases through them. That affiliate fee is paid to us by the retailer and does not directly affect the price you pay for the product or service.
Our expert editorial teams are independent. This means the products and services they select to appear in our articles are chosen based on their unbiased, expert judgement and relevance to the readers' needs and article content. While our editors may be informed by commercial insights to understand the market, our goal is always to provide independent, objective, valuable and useful advice to our readers.
Our curated product widgets that you see in some of our articles are intended to help you find the best products and services, at competitive prices, at trusted retailers. Those widgets are powered by our own software, called Hawk, which displays the latest product and price information from thousands of retailers. We will always do our best to ensure that we display the most up-to-date information possible. On occasion, a retailer may have updated their prices, up or down, before the adverts displayed by Hawk are updated. Retailers may also add delivery or other costs to the purchase – please see the retailer's site for more information. The affiliate fees we receive help us to continue developing Hawk as well as helping to pay our teams and other website costs.
We also run advertising in various forms. Ads on our websites are designed in a way that makes them clearly identifiable as ads and distinguishable from our editorial articles.
From time to time, we also publish paid-for editorial content on the site. This content is labelled so you can see who has funded it and how it was created. We have a full guide to content funding on Cyclingnews here. You can also see the full terms and conditions that apply to your use of our sites right here.

The Cyclingnews comment section is for thoughtful discussion of article topics. Together we’re developing a space where people share your passion and where you can enjoy conversations built on a foundation of respect and common interests.
Our Cyclingnews community team is dedicated to providing quality content—please keep that in mind and keep disagreements respectful. Not every comment needs to be a debate – it’s fine to just talk! – but please approach all disagreements in a spirit of openness and tolerance.
If you feel like you’re getting too invested, take a deep breath and step away. You are never obligated to reply to a fellow commentator. If someone is breaching our rules or making the comments a less welcoming place then please use the report button so that our Community team can investigate further.
Whenever someone joins the comment section here at Cyclingnews they should find them welcoming and insightful. We want to build a community that you’re proud to recommend to others and we can only do that together.
Please read our guidelines below to understand what is allowed and how our moderation system works.
Note: If your post is removed, it's never a personal attack but a step to maintain a respectful and engaging community in line with our guidelines.
Our guidelines cannot cover every situation and our moderation team reserve the right to remove any comment at any time. The Cyclingnews team and Future do not endorse the opinions and views shared by readers in our comment sections.
Pre-moderation: When dealing with a large volume of comments it’s impossible to handle them in real time. Comments may be pre-moderated due to their content, article settings or reports by other users.
If you are finding yourself to be consistently pre-moderated then it is not targeted. How you are choosing to post is getting picked up by the system or reported by other users and can usually be fixed by following our guidelines or considering how others might read what you have posted.
