Introducing the RCUK 100 2016

A celebration of the 100 best products in cycling

After months of research, scouring every corner of the two-wheeled world for the greatest products around and, yes, a few disagreements on what should be included, we’re proud to present the RCUK 100 for 2016.

You’ve probably noticed that it’s changed from last year’s print magazine since it’s now coming to you in this online format. But that a good thing because it means more words, more pictures and, importantly, even a few videos giving you more content than ever before and, more importantly, it’s all free.

And we didn’t just want to make a list, we wanted to do things properly. So we took every single product into the photo studio and shot them all, one by one. It wasn’t quick or easy, but after seeing the result we think it was totally worth it, and we reckon you will too.

We’re delighted with how it all turned out and, without wanting to spoil the surprise, it looks a little something like this:

It’s not just still photography, either. We took some of the best bikes in the bunch over to Tenerife and made 90-second cinematic style videos. You really should take a look, and see the Bianchi Specialissima, Canyon Ultimate CF SLX, Cube Agree C:62 SLT Disc and Ridley Fenix SL in all their glory.

You really need to check it out, and you can do so by clicking here. It’s been a labour of love to produce, and we hope that you enjoy the results as much as we enjoyed making it.
