We cover a wide range of tech on BikeRadar, with hundreds of reviews published every year, but some products pose a bigger challenge to our testers than others.

In a follow-up to our MTB testing secrets podcast, Tom Marvin sits down with Ashley Quinlan and Simon von Bromley – two key members of our road test team – to discuss the trickiest road cycling kit to test.

Power meters, saddles, shoes, wheels and smart trainers all present their own difficulties, but with a bit of know-how and experience, we can ensure our reviews are as accurate, fair and useful for you as possible.
