How We Work With Brands
We disclose every commercial relationship transparently. Paid reviews are clearly labeled, and affiliate links never inflate our editorial verdicts.
Our test team logs over 50,000 combined miles annually, putting gear through rain, heat, and highway punishment before scoring fit, finish, and function.
Response Times
Press inquiries receive a reply within two business days. Partnership proposals are reviewed weekly and acknowledged within five business days.
Rider emails are read personally. We cannot guarantee every reply, but every message reaches a real person on our editorial staff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept free products for review?
Yes, but loaners are returned within 14 days. We never sign contracts that restrict honest criticism or require approval before publication.
Can I pitch a guest article or build feature?
Absolutely. Send your pitch with two writing samples and high-resolution photos. We commission roughly one in three pitches we receive.
How do affiliate links affect your ratings?
They don't. Our scoring rubric is fixed and published openly. Commission revenue funds testing gear, never editorial direction.
Where is your test team based?
Riders operate from Austin, Portland, and the Smoky Mountains. This gives us coverage across dry heat, wet Pacific conditions, and twisty Appalachian pavement.
