Editorial policy
Manufacturers cannot buy a better write-up. Amazon commissions never change what a page includes or says.
Independence
SmartBikeWiki editorial is an independent research publication. No manufacturer owns, funds or reviews our pages. We do not accept payment, free products or other benefits in exchange for coverage or a changed record. Manufacturers can send primary sources through the contact page; we check them like any other source.
Affiliate policy
SmartBikeWiki participates in the Amazon Associates programme. Only product buttons that say "Check price at Amazon" are affiliate links; they pass through a redirect on this site and are marked sponsored. Every other link is a plain link. A commission never changes what is included or what we write. See the affiliate disclosure.
How pages are written
Answer first, evidence second, detail third. Key facts carry a source link and a checked date. We keep claims and findings apart, never write "we tested", and say when a number could not be confirmed. See how we research.
Update cadence
- Prices: re-checked monthly, with the check date shown.
- Specs: re-checked quarterly or when a product launches.
- A page only gets a new date when something was actually re-checked, and material changes go in its dated log.
Corrections
If we get something wrong we fix it, change the date and record it on the corrections log. Substantive changes are dated, not silently overwritten. To report an error, use the contact page.
Authorship
Pages are published under the SmartBikeWiki editorial team. We do not use personal bylines or invented reviewer profiles.
