How to Choose a Road Bike
Choose the Right Road Bike Type
- Endurance Road Bikes: Best for beginners or recreational riders, these bikes offer a more upright, comfortable position and smooth handling on rougher pavement.
- Race Road Bikes: Designed for maximum speed and efficiency, these bikes feature an aggressive, forward-leaning aerodynamic position for competitive performance.
Key Performance Features
There are a few key features to prioritize based on your level of experience and performance needs.
- Frame Material: Aluminum frames are durable, reliable, and affordable for beginners, while carbon fiber frames are lightweight and stiff for high-performance riding.
- Drivetrain: These components control how efficiently you pedal and shift while riding. There are different tiers that impact overall performance.
- Braking Systems: Most road bikes feature disc brakes that offer consistent stopping power in all weather conditions. You may see rim brakes, a lighter, simpler brake, on entry-level models.
