Performance Road Bikes

With designs ranging from specialist climbing machines to more general options, Performance Road Bikes combine an aggressive, sporty geometry with lightweight frames and components. Wheels will generally be at the lighter end of the spectrum and not super deep although most bikes now also feature a degree of aerodynamic design in their construction or component choice, blurring the lines between these and Aero Road Bikes. These Road Bikes are a great choice for riders who regularly ride mixed terrain, with plenty of hills to test their legs and lungs as well as higher speed flat sections where the low front end will help keep the rider out of the wind.
