Cycling Weekly Verdict

Souplesse Cycling’s curated boxes for time-poor cyclists are a thing of both beauty and substance. Brimming with products from renowned brands, customers can have faith that they’re not being palmed off with second-rate nutrition or accessories. However, excellence comes at a price.

    Do you really need this much stuff?

You can trust Cycling Weekly. Our team of experts put in hard miles testing cycling tech and will always share honest, unbiased advice to help you choose. Find out more about how we test.

Souplesse Cycling’s business model will be familiar to customers of brands such as HelloFresh and Riverford Organics. Fork out for a subscription to either of these services and you’ll regularly receive a box stuffed with foodie ingredients delivered direct to your door. In essence, they’re shopping the essentials, so you don’t have to.

Souplesse Cycling works on a similar premise, but as well as providing nutrition, in the shape of bars, gels, chews and hydration powers, it also includes a wide variety of small but useful cycling accessories, including lights, tyre levers, chamois cream, sunscreen, degreaser and the like. I hesitate to call them perishables, which is HelloFresh’s USP,  but it is the kind of stuff that we, as cyclists, break, misplace or run out of all the time.

Simon Fellows
Freelance Writer. Former Tech Editor

Simon spent his childhood living just a stone’s throw from the foot of Box Hill, so it’s no surprise he acquired a passion for cycling from an early age. He’s still drawn to hilly places, having cycled, climbed or skied his way across the Alps, Pyrenees, Andes, Atlas Mountains and the Watkins range in the Arctic.

Simon now writes for Cycling Weekly as a freelancer, having previously served as Tech Editor. He’s also an advanced (RYT 500) yoga teacher, which further fuels his fascination for the relationship between performance and recovery.

He lives with Jo, his yoga teacher wife, in the heart of the Cotswolds, with two rescue cats, five bikes and way too many yoga mats. He still believes he could have been a contender if only chocolate weren’t so moreish.
