General: The cycling year 2013: The top 10 of the best products

December 30, 2013 by the editorial team

Having already shared our favorite moments of the year [ Link ], we naturally want to share our favorite products with you. Throughout the season, we tested various products and awarded the best ones with our " Tip of the Week " seal, while others received seals of approval such as "Value for Money ," "Pro Test," and "Everyday Tip ." All in all, we tested far more products than could possibly fit into this Top 10: the selection was anything but easy! In addition to the products listed, the Canyon Inflite AL [ Link ], the Hirzl Grippp [ Link ], the Focus Mares AX 1.0 [ Link ], the O-Synce Navi2Coach [ Link ], and the Bianchi Oltre XR2 [ Link ] also deserve special mention. They narrowly missed making the Top 10.
