As with many cyclists, be it mountain bikers, BMX riders or road cyclists we want to take the time to make sure we get the best products. Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices. They were just so low that alarm bells should instantly be ringing. That’s why we only recommend buying from the retailers that you really know and trust, names like Wiggle, Chain Reaction and Evans Cycles are just some of those that we use regularly. With these retailers you know you’re in safe hands and can expect great service, great returns policies and if anything was to go wrong great customer service under a warranty claim.

But onto the reason you’re here today, let’s delve into some of the details of Assos Bonka to help you understand a bit more about where it sits in the market against some of the many alternatives that are available out there. We’re very aware that by buying our cycling stuff online that we’ve missed out on the opportunity to actually see and test the product first. This is where reviews come in to their own, as it gives us that chance to hear from other like-minded cyclists about how good or bad a product is.

As you would expect, our first and top piece of advice before buying, is to read lots and lots of Assos Bonka reviews. With a review score of 8.3 out of 10 it’s likely that there will be lots of great detailed reviews to help you. And if you find that actually the reviews are suggesting Assos Bonka isn’t right for you then there will be tons and tons of other reviews for other products in the Tights category. In fact we’ve got 531 products reviewed in this category alone.

Something that makes it particularly challenging is the vast range of choice, as mentioned above there are 531 products in the Tights category. There are also 428 products from the brand Assos. And then getting into the specifics even more there are 18 products from Assos in the category “Tights”.

So let’s take a look at the second most important decision making tool we can use when shopping online, price. Whether your goal is to just get the cheapest Tights available, or to get the best quality at a reasonable price, there’s always going to be a need to do your research on price.

Assos Bonka price analysis

The first thing we do when looking at the price of any cycling equipment, be it the bike itself, or one of the many parts that make up a bike or even some of the clothing and accessories that go with it, is to run some price analysis to see who is selling it at the best price. (Note that as we pointed out earlier we will only look at retailers that we really trust and use regularly). The best price that we managed to find Assos Bonka was from Chain Reaction Cycles at just £345.

It’s then good to dig somewhat deeper into the price of the product by looking at average prices. To do this we looked at the average price you would pay for a product that fits within the Tights category. When doing this, we found the average price of the 531 products in the Tights category is £59.03. We also looked at the cheapest and most expensive options to give you an idea of where Assos Bonka sits. The most expensive we found was £345 and the cheapest we saw on our search was £8.75. With a price of £345, Assos Bonka is actually above average against the average price in this category.

We then wanted to look at the brand, Assos in a bit more detail. So one of our other important comparisons in our Assos Bonka review is analysing the price of products from Assos. During this search we discovered that the average price of a product from Assos was just £111.12, making Assos Bonka above average against the average prices. We also found that the most expensive product was £410, however the cheapest came in at £70.

We then thought that we should go into a little more detail and look more specifically at the prices you’d pay for products from the brand Assos that feature in the Tights category. The average price of Assos products in the Tights category is £174.81, the highest prices option we found was £345 and lowest was just £70. Taking into consideration the average price, Assos Bonka does actually come in above average, something worth considering when you do make your decision.

Taking all of that into account it’s pretty clear why Assos Bonka scored such a great price score of 8.6/10 and why it features as one of the top recommended products in the Tights category.
