Road Bikes
With the wide range of choice available, it is often difficult to know what are the best road bikes for your type of riding. Our experts are here to help guide you through the process to build the perfect specialized road bike to suit your needs.
What to look for in road bikes
Whenever you start to think about buying a bike, you need to ask yourself what is your goal and riding style. It will also be important to consider the types of roads you will typically be riding. Are you going to be doing a lot of climbing, or will you be rolling over wind-exposed roads. Are you very flexible and able to get into a racing position easily or are you more inclined to have a relaxed stance on the bike, ready for longer rides?
Once you have answered those questions, you will know whether you are looking for a pure racing bike or an endurance-oriented bike. Many manufacturers will have both options in their lineups of road bikes. For instance, Colnago, Time, Chapter 2, and Pinarello all offer a variety of road bikes, some offering race-ready aggressive geometry while other frame options favor endurance-oriented features, specially designed to provide comfort and performance in equal measure over long distances.
Customize road bikes
Thanks to the Wrench Science Bike Builder, you can order from any of our road bike brands and customize the groupset, wheel options and touch point components to ensure the bike totally fits your needs.
Frequently people looking to buy a road bike are forced to take a stock set up that perhaps doesn’t fit properly. It is hugely important to make sure your touch points are properly set up for you, so that the handlebars are the width you prefer, the reach is not too long or too short, and the saddle to handlebar drop meets your needs. That’s the only way you will be able to ensure your road riding will be as safe and comfortable as you want.
