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.

Andy Carr
Tech Editor

Tech Editor, Andy Carr came to cycling journalism after ten years in the cycle trade, writing blogs and content whilst designing award winning bikes, for his own custom bike brand.

A life long cycling fan and rider, he left the City life in 2015, moving away to the Alps, where he worked as a ride guide, running pro-camps, and eventually started designing and building custom bikes.

Over a decade, that escape grew into a business, and Andy’s bike designs became well known in the industry.

He has always used his platform to champion higher standards in fit, design, and fabrication and his own products won awards and five star reviews in most of the major magazines.

Having run a bike shop, workshop, and award winning paint shop, producing custom bikes in metal and composite for customers all over the world, Andy has real life experience of the processes and work that go into producing great bikes and components; from desk work like FEA and CFD to physically testing products in wind tunnels, opening moulds for composite work, and getting products out of his head and into stores - alongside some of the insider processes few get to see.
