About
About Gear Matrix
Gear Matrix is an independent UK publication covering mountain bikes, electric mountain bikes, components and accessories.
What we do
We publish spec comparison, buyer’s guides, first looks and news for riders in the UK. Every product page is built around the specification table, because that is where most buying decisions are actually made.
Prices are shown in GBP and specifications in metric units, so the details line up with what UK retailers and manufacturers publish.
How we work
Our ratings are editorial assessments built from published manufacturer specifications, comparative specification data and our editorial judgement. We do not claim to have physically tested or ridden every product we list, and every rating links to the full method behind it.
Where an article is based on a first look, a launch announcement or a press release, we say so in the article.
How we are funded
Gear Matrix may earn a commission from retailers when you buy through links on this site. That commission never changes our ratings, and it never changes the price you pay.
Advertising is sold directly and is always labelled. It never appears inside editorial content.
