How our comparisons work
Side-by-side looks at models we sell, and at types of ride, so you can rule options out quickly. Every comparison uses the makers’ own figures, labeled that way, and says what each option suits rather than naming a winner.
Where a comparison names models, we sell every one of them, the prices shown come straight from the store, and each figure says where it came from and when it was checked. Real range and speed depend on rider weight, terrain, temperature and riding mode, so treat the figures as a way to compare models, not as a promise. Stuck between two?
