Cycling products’ weight limits are typically hidden deep within owner’s manuals or not listed at all. This is a problem.

Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

    I just checked, and the company website page on my relatively high end carbon bike has a listed max weight (rider+bike+equipment) of 120kg. Easy enough to find on the page.

    That said…were I close to that limit, I think I’d opt for a steel bike, or maybe titanium if I have the money. Carbon is amazing but its failure mechanism isn’t pretty.
