THOMPSON CAPELLA £3999

Belgian brand Thompson has been winning races for nearly a century, so it’s strange that it’s taken so long for its bikes to get from mainland Europe to the UK. This race-bred carbon bike is available in a range of guises, and all can be custom painted at no extra cost. Yes, we know our test bike doesn’t really show that off, being a mix of gloss black and matt anthracite, so mostly black!
