B
ike of The Year. A subjec-
tive topic if ever there was
one. Normally there needs
to be a consensus of an overall
winner—that's how most publica-
tions do it—but we like to be a little
different here at Cycle News.
Our take on this rather mo-
notonous task is to put a human
flavor to it. That's why we have
no single Bike of The Year, but
several, simply because we've
ridden literally hundreds of new
bikes this year.
Each staffer gets a winner
and two honorable mentions.
We base our opinions not on the
specs sheets. In fact, we actively
discourage looking at them be-
fore coming up with our top three.
The results are based purely on
emotion (and a little new/fancy
tech). They are based on what
bike we'd take home if we could.
You know, just because.
So, here we go. Welcome to
Cycle News' Bike of The Year
2022.
