The road.cc Recommends awards 2023/24 are coming soon: All the very best bikes, gear + components plus our overall Bike of the Year will be revealed

Get ready for a bike and cycling-product extravaganza kicking off on Monday, 8th January 2024. We’ll be bringing you the road.cc Recommends Awards, presenting the very best bikes, components, accessories, and clothing from everything we’ve reviewed over the past year.

If you haven't explored road.cc Recommends yet (seriously, where have you been?), it’s the ultimate destination for the best products we review. We select the exceptional here. Every product that we feature gets a shot at road.cc Recommends, but only the outstanding ones make the cut.

Now we’ve been back to road.cc Recommends and handpicked the best of the best for our awards, so stay tuned to find out what comes out on top. Whether you’re after a new bike or a backpack, a handlebar or a helmet, a groupset or a gilet, we’ll tell you what’s what.

When it comes to components, accessories and clothing, we’ll showcase our favourites of the past 12 months and give out three different types of awards:

• Bargain Buy This goes to the product that we feel gives the best value for money.
   
• Money No Object We take the price out of the equation for this one; it’s all about the performance.
   
• Editor’s Choice This award is given to the product that offers the best combination of performance and value for money.

With bikes, we’ll count down the best models in various categories. We’ll then take the highest performers from each category and present our overall top 10.
