Road bikes are sleek lightweight machines that are primarily built for riding on tarmac. They are designed for speed and as a result have narrow tyres, and large 700cc wheels. To give the rider the optimum aerodynamic position, road bikes come equipped with low drop handlebars.
At the casual end of the road bike spectrum are recreational and touring bikes with frame room for bigger tyres and fitting eyelets for racks and mudguards. More competitive road bikes weigh less, usually cost more and have gearing aimed at riders who can push hard on the climbs.
There's a very fine line between recreational and competitive road bikes, with hybrid and cyclo-cross styled bikes getting a look in for riders wanting a single bike for everything. Aluminium framed bikes are often the cheapest, but there are plenty superb ones too. Titanium framed bikes, valued for their tight and resilient ride, vary in price almost as much as carbon, and a new generation of high quality steel frames are making their presence felt. Recreational road bikes have easier gearing and more relaxed geometry than competitive bikes. Please consult Wiggle’s bike buying guide to learn more about identifying the bike for you.
