Essentially, it’s the place where we group all of the very best-performing products that we’ve reviewed – the crème de la crème if you like – not simply stuff that’s scored well, but those items we think stand out as special. In short, it’s a one-stop-shop for cycling excellence.
We update road.cc Recommends monthly, and we’ve added 11 products from all those we review in March, including two bikes: one from Wilier and one from Orro. The Wilier Filante is a high-end aero road bike currently being ridden by the Total Direct Énergie team – and it’s gorgeous, frankly.

The Orro Terra C GRX800 is the updated version of a bike that we reviewed last year, now with cable routing that enters the frame at the top of the head tube. It’s a sporty bike and an absolute blast to ride. Complete bikes start at £1,800.
We have clothing from Pearl Izumi, Craft and DexShell, along with another offering from Orro: the Pyro Line Aquazero Bibtights. With a Cytech pad and water repellent treatment, these impressed us massively. It has been a good month for Orro!
On the components and accessories side of things, new entries in road.cc Recommends include tyres from Vittoria, panniers from Oxford, and mudguards from SKS. The one thing that they all have in common is their superb performance,

We can see whether we need to build more houses once we have used up the estimated (Local Government Association) 1,000,000+ unoccupied homes...
Oh - I wondered if I was running the right pressure. Perhaps someone has some thoughts on what that might be for a road bike?

I am completely fed up with entitled motorists coming to a cycling website and creating an account solely in order to troll. Give it a rest!
👍🏼 IMHO, one of the main things to look out for is butted tubes, double or even tripple butted. ride safe and have a great Christmas
Ah yes, just spotted where "performance line" is quoted on the website. Couldn't see any that fall into both 'evolution' and 'performance' line...
TRP cable-actuated hydraulic calipers, haven't tried them myself but reviews generally rate them as better than cable-only brakes such as Sora. I...
And we can be sure that Police Scotland would be similarly disinterested...
They should read scampercraft and not exaggerate the danger of scuttling along. I discourage squirrel predation by acting like one.
You can get the Varia for £10 less from Decathlon.
