About Road Bikes

Road racing bikes are available for various purposes, they can be used for road racing, touring, leisure or commuting. Racing bikes are lighter, faster and more responsive than equivalently priced mountain bikes. Road bikes have come a long way in recent years with new technology and materials available. Carbon fibre, aluminium and titanium are all used now as well as the more traditional steel tube sets. They all have their advantages: aluminium offers good performance at a reasonable price, steel offers comfort over performance and is a long term investment, titanium offers ultimate all round performance at a premium price while carbon fibre offers superb comfort and performance at intermediate cost. It is not uncommon for the materials to be mixed to give the benefits of all the materials in one frame - a carbon fibre rear end on an aluminium frame, for example. The technology hasn't stopped at the frame either, wheels have received a lot of attention along with the rest of the components, road racing bikes are becoming featherweight, responsive machines that are a sheer joy to ride over many miles.

Review from Road Cycling UK

Said of the 2007 model...

Remove the price tag and you'd be convinced you're looking at a bike with a price far nearer that of £2000.
After a fair amount of riding the Cayo, we've struggled to find anything really wrong with. Don't let the price tag convince you this is a bike aimed at beginners, while it's perfect for those new to road riding, those with a few more miles under their bums should take a serious look at the Cayo.

In conclusion...

A real bargain.

Rating: 10/10

Review from Cycling Weekly

Said of the 2006 model...

It's very hard not to recommend the Cayo. It's a good ride, has a near perfect choice of components and thanks to the quality of the frame it's worthy of upgrades at a later date. Despite the specification, this is not actually an £1800 bike. Frankly we have never seen such a well appointed bike at such a low price.

In conclusion...

Dec 17th 2005: Voted 2006 best bike under £1000 by Cycling Weekly. Focus Monocoque Carbon Composite Technology frame, Full Shimano Ultegra, R550 wheels and FSA contact points give you an incredibly specced bike for under a £1000! We couldn't find serious fault with the Focus and at £999 it is simply a bargain!
