Outside Magazine is one of the best sources of bike information, biking travel ideas and cycle maintenance but it's not quite so good for bicycle reviews. Its biking gear guide offers best buy selections in various price ranges. Bikes aren't compared to similar cycles. 2005 reviews include Santa Cruz, Gary Fisher and Giant bicycles.

Bike bargains abound here. The editors have chosen bikes that "offer you the best and up to the minute technology in mountain bike freeride, dirt jump bikes, classic cross country (XC) and all-mountain mountain bike stuff ever given to man". Each mountain bike is covered in detail with specifications, components and information. Bicycle models are listed in price order including Kona Stinky, Raleigh Phase, GT Avalanche and Mongoose Ritual bikes.

This UK based mountain bike web site is associated with the bike Marin bikes but other manufacturers are given current model coverage in cycling articles that focus on individual bicycles or in Specialized case the entire 2005 product line. The emphasis is on high end - high performance mountain bikes and road bikes and price information is in UK currency. There are detailed bike reviews with multiple cycle and bike parts photos focusing on the technical and plenty of commentary on the bikes and how they compare to other models. Consumer reviews give product marketplace acceptance. Some bike reviews go way back to 2000.
www.mtbr.com
This enthusiast cycling web site offers a selection of consumer bike reviews detailing full suspension and hardtail mountain bikes which divide into sub-categories. All mountain bikes are rated and those models getting enough support are given the choice Award. Cycle reviewers provide time of ownership price, rate both strengths and weaknesses and give a summary. While the reviewers sometimes are over enthusiastic and lack experience the grass roots survey exceeds the range of any more focused publication analysis.
www.bicycling.com
Dating back to 2001 there are five pages of bike reviews from brief summaries with alternatives to a full bicycle review credited to single writers. No favorites are named and hybrid and city bikes are included in the lists also. If you see bikes you already have in mind it's worth looking at the background info.
www.mbaction.com
Mountain Bike Action gives 97 bike models but not directly compared. Each bicycle model has nine value and performance criteria given a grade from A to D with highlights - best quote and MBA's bottom line which provide a good evaluation. Very dated information limits the usefulness of this bike review web site though.
