Editor, Guides and Reviews

Ala Ciobanu edits the guides and reviews on Biktron. She decides what each article covers, checks the specifications and prices in it against the product pages they link to, and is the person who answers when a reader writes in to say something is wrong.

Biktron sells the bikes these guides cover, so every article states that relationship and every judgement in them is reached the same way: from the manufacturer's published specifications, the shop's own live prices and the national rules for the country the article is written for. Nothing here is presented as a measurement we have not made.
