*Quick Disclaimer: If you are worried about the price range of these bikes, we do recommend you come into the shop as there are finance options such as HUMM or bike-to-work schemes we can advise on*
In addition there are cheaper options available for the models mentioned below that might not be as ‘techy’ but are quite the machines in their own right! With our further ado, let’s jump into the guide! Let’s look at the first sub-category of road bikes:
Race bikes
Price: €€-€€€€€
Built with only one focus, racing. These bikes are ultra light and extremely aerodynamic compared to other bikes featured in the road category.
Mainly built from carbon fibre, the higher end models will end up weighing between 6-7 kgs while the entry level aluminium built bikes will go on to weigh around 10kgs. This is all thanks to the ever-growing development of components and framesets. Race bikes in general will have a stiffer frame and ‘race’ based geometry making it easier to get into aero positions effortlessly.
