No affiliate links
You can't trust a recommendation unless you know how the recommender gets paid. Here it is in full: MathBikes takes no commission on what you buy, and the rules below keep the math first.
Who runs MathBikes
MathBikes is a brand administered and managed by TOPFED WEB S.R.L., a limited liability company registered in the Republic of Moldova under IDNO 1026023125543, with its registered office at s. Pepeni, r-nul Sîngerei, MD-6234, Republic of Moldova. Questions about this disclosure: [email protected].
How MathBikes is funded
MathBikes has no affiliate links and takes no commission on sales. The tools and the data are free, with no paywall. The only paid placement the site allows is a sponsored one, and it is always labelled.
Where store links go
Every "Where to buy" button and every store link goes straight to the brand's own official store: to the page we read the price from when we have it, otherwise to the store's front page for your market. No reseller, no affiliate network, no tracking code added to the link.
Your price is the store's price
You pay the brand's own price, the same one you would find by going to its store yourself. We have no deal with the store and get nothing when you buy.
Sponsored placements are always labelled
If a brand ever pays to feature a bike, it carries a clear "Sponsored" tag wherever it appears - in a calculator result, the quiz, the database or the deals page. If it isn't labelled, nobody paid for it.
Editorial independence
Money never buys a better score. Our range estimates, calculator outputs and quiz rankings are produced by the same open formulas for every bike, sponsored or not. A sponsor can buy visibility; they cannot buy a number.
How we choose what to recommend
Recommendations in calculator results and the quiz are generated algorithmically from the spec and your inputs - use-case fit, real-world range, climb ability, weight and price-fit - not from who pays us the most. The sponsored slot, where it exists, is separate and labelled.
Honest deals
A deal is listed only while a bike is on a time-limited offer. We don't invent fake "was" prices to manufacture a discount, and we'd rather show fewer genuine deals than pad the list.
Your trust is the asset
This site only works if you believe the numbers. The day a recommendation is for sale is the day MathBikes is worthless - so it never will be. If you ever feel a placement isn't clearly disclosed, tell us at [email protected] and we'll fix it.
