These terms govern your use of Bike198.com. The site is operated by oneninety8, LLC / Robb Sutton. Using the site means you accept them. If you don’t, please don’t use the site.

What this site is

Bike198 publishes mountain bike and eMTB reviews, buyer’s guides, news, and related editorial content. Everything here is editorial opinion and general information. It is not professional advice, and it is not a substitute for manufacturer documentation, a qualified mechanic, or your own judgment on the trail.

Accuracy, and its limits

Reviews reflect testing or research done at a particular time. Products, firmware, and prices change. Reasonable care goes into getting things right, but no promise is made that everything here is complete, current, or error-free. Verify specifications, compatibility, safety information, and price with the manufacturer or retailer before you buy. Corrections are welcome — tell us if you find something wrong.

Your decisions are yours

Buying and riding decisions you make after reading this site are your own. Riding involves risk. To the fullest extent the law allows, no liability is accepted for loss or damage arising from your use of this site or from any product you bought after reading about it here. The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Nothing in these terms limits liability for anything that cannot lawfully be limited.

Affiliate links

This site earns commission on some outbound product links, including as an Amazon Associate. It costs you nothing extra and does not affect any verdict. The full explanation is on the Affiliate Disclosure page.

Copyright

The writing, photographs, video, and layout on this site are protected by copyright. You may read, print, and share pages for personal, non-commercial use, and you may quote a short extract with clear attribution and a link back.

Product names and trademarks belong to their owners and appear for identification only.

Comments

You are responsible for what you post. Spam, abuse, or other people’s private information will be removed. Comments may be moderated. Disagreeing with a review is fine. Disagreeing rudely is not.

Governing law
