Cycling Weekly Verdict

The sport we love should not be prohibitively expensive and the level of enjoyment you experience should not be down to how much cash you spend. It is imperative that good bikes exist at this price point, as they are most people's entry point into road cycling and have the potential to dictate a large chunk of their experience thereafter. The B'Twin wins out, because I was able to forget I was riding a bike that cost just £750 and found myself bombing along country lanes with a smile on my face - and that is what it is all about
