Testing superbikes — bikes that we categorise as costing more than a cheap car — is among one of the better jobs that we have here at BikeRadar. So, after months of thankless and brutal toil, clocking hundreds of miles in all conditions, all in the good name of bike journalism, we’re pleased to present the results of this year's test.

With an assortment of luscious bikes from Giant, Trek, Wilier, Cannondale, Cervélo and Bianchi, there’s bound to be an unobtainable ride featured that will set your heart a flutter and make your wallet terribly anxious.

Jack Luke is the digital editor at BikeRadar and has been utterly obsessed with riding and bike tech for his whole life. Jack can primarily be found whizzing about at a moderate pace on his array of road bikes from his home in Bristol, but his greatest passion is for cycle touring, bikepacking and ill-advised gravel-flavoured long-distance hike-a-bike-peppered adventures. Jack is also interested in fixed-gear bikes, tandems and anything else that’s a wee bit weird. With a near-encyclopedic knowledge of cycling tech – ranging from the most esoteric retro niche to the most cutting-edge modern kit – Jack takes pride in seeking out stories that would otherwise go unreported. After years spent working in bike shops, and as a photography technician and tutor, Jack joined BikeRadar in 2016. He’s now responsible for shaping the overall output of BikeRadar, editing, planning and – when he gets the chance – writing content for the site. Jack’s also a regular host on the BikeRadar YouTube channel and BikeRadar Podcast, and has contributed to articles for the Guardian and been a guest on BBC Radio Scotland.
