The very best cycling tech to land at BikeRadar HQ this week <\/p>
Hill climbs are close to BikeRadar\u2019s collective heart. Led by former video manager and hill climb maestro Joe Norledge, we started covering hill climb tech and racing in earnest around 2017.<\/p>\n
The subsequent popularity of BikeRadar\u2019s Hill Climb Diaries<\/a> and tech galleries from events draws us back to the scene every year \u2013 you lot bloody love a lightweight bike!<\/p>\n The UK Hill Climb Nationals are the culmination of the intense season, and is one of the finest spectacles in cycling.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s Nationals were held on The Struggle \u2013 an incredible 4.4km brute of a climb rising from the Lake District town of Ambleside. I was there with present-day video manager, Felix Smith<\/a> to cover the tech from the race<\/a>, with our own Jack Evans<\/a> representing BikeRadar on the hill.<\/p>\n As ever, the bikes were wild, the crowds rowdy and the weather damp.<\/p>\n Attending the Nationals is the yearly highlight of my professional life and I couldn\u2019t be happier with our coverage. Please do give the video a watch \u2013 Felix stayed up until 2.30am on Sunday to make it happen!<\/p>\n With my love letter to watching cyclists puke on a hillside out of the way, let\u2019s move on to what you came here for \u2013 the finest tech swag to land at BikeRadar HQ this week.<\/p>\n
