Russell Burton

Photographer and tester

Russell Burton is a photographer and tester for BikeRadar, Cycling Plus and Mountain Biking UK. As an experienced snapper with decades behind the lens, Russell has shot thousands of bike tests and features, but is an experienced rider and tester, too, putting gravel and MTB gear through its paces around Salisbury Plain and the Scottish Highlands. Big days outdoors mean that Russell needs equipment that lasts.
