Affiliate Disclosure | TurinBikes

Last updated: February 2026

TurinBikes participates in affiliate advertising programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other retailer affiliate programs (such as REI, Chain Reaction Cycles, and similar partners when applicable).

This means that when you click on certain links on our site (especially product recommendation links, comparison tables, or “buy now” buttons) and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer. This comes at no extra cost to you – the price you pay is exactly the same as if you went directly to the retailer.

Important Points

Independence of Recommendations

Our product rankings, “best for” picks, and comparisons are never influenced by affiliate commissions, sponsorships, free products, or any form of payment. Recommendations are based solely on aggregated data from verified user reviews, manufacturer specifications, independent studies, reader surveys, and objective scoring – as detailed in our Research & Testing Methodology and Our Review & Recommendation Process.

How Commissions Work

Commissions vary by retailer and product category. Typical ranges include:

Amazon Associates: 1–10% (most often 3–8% for cycling gear)
Other retailers: 5–15% depending on the program

For more detailed transparency, including realistic earnings examples and our strict no-bias rules, please see our Enhanced Affiliate & Earnings Transparency page.

Tracking & Cookies

Affiliate links may use cookies or tracking pixels to attribute sales correctly. These are managed by the affiliate networks/retailers (not stored or controlled by us). See our Cookie Policy for more on cookies.

Editorial Integrity

We only recommend products we believe provide real value based on evidence. If data shows a product underperforms (e.g., poor durability or comfort complaints), we say so – even if it would pay a higher commission.

No Free Products for Reviews

We do not accept free products, samples, or sponsored content in exchange for positive coverage.
