Road Bikes
Road Bike Design Is Half The Story
Road bikes come in a variety of materials, brands, colours and components; with the increase in popularity of cycling in the UK playing a big role in driving the industry forward.
Whilst carbon road bikes are always favourites among the racers and the club riders, there are plenty of machines available in aluminium, titanium or steel that are available at a cheaper prices with just as good of a spec.
The geometry of road bikes means that they require a forward posture that can sometimes be uncomfortable if you have never ridden a road bike before, and drop bars can make changing gear and braking feel strange as they work differently to mountain or hybrid bikes.
Weight is a big indicator of quality in the road bike arena, with the lightest bikes having a carbon road frame and superlight groupsets and cycling components to demand a higher price. These machines are used by racers or riders who want the best quality, but in reality as a new rider or a mid-range rider these machines will provide marginal gains when compared to other bikes.
