trademarks of a road bike are thin wheels and lightweight frames, but you’ll soon discover that these features vary by category
of road bike. Consider the key factors below, and then use our filters to compare and contrast different road bikes that fit your
personal needs.
Size: In this case, size does matter. Finding the right size road bike means a more efficient and comfortable ride. To ensure
you get the right size, visit your local bike shop and get fitted for a bike. See the box below for more information on available
bike sizes.
Frame Material: The frame material of a road bike determines how it feels to ride. Some materials make for a rough ride
over pavement, while others are better at absorbing bumps in the road. To determine what type of ride you want, read the
frame material descriptions below.
Components: The components of a road bike are pedals, derailleurs, brakes, and shifters. Prices vary depending on weight
and precision, but in general, a lighter, more precise set of components will be more expensive.
Price Range: Establishing a price range will help taper off the number of options. It will also determine the frame material
and components that you can afford. A high budget means a lighter bike with the best components, while a low budget
means a heavier bike with average components. But keep in mind that the most expensive bike doesn't always mean it's the
best.
Decide which of these features are most important to you and then sort through the list of road bikes to narrow down your
choices.
With 2,159 road bikes to choose from, we can help find the best one for you.
What to Look for in Road Bikes
Bike Type
The bike type is based on what kind of riding the bike is built for. There are several categories of road
bikes, so pick a bike that best suits your needs as a cyclist.
Traditional: Traditional road bikes are designed for road racing. The geometries vary depending on
the ability level, but the design and function of the components are similar across skill levels. A
traditional road bike is categorized by drop-handlebars, skinny tires, and a taller frame.
Endurance: Endurance bikes are built for longer rides with a more relaxed and upright geometry. The
intention is to provide efficiency while putting the rider in a more comfortable position. Individuals
looking to ride long distances might find the more comfortable geometry ideal.
Triathlon/TT: Triathlon and time trial (TT) bikes are designed for triathlons and/or time trial races.
They are similar to the kind of traditional racing bikes defined above in terms of components, but differ
in frame shape and riding position. On time trial bikes, riders’ backs are almost parallel to the road with
their arms tucked in under their bodies in a streamlined, aerodynamic position. Because drafting
(riding directly behind another rider to benefit from his or her airstream) is prohibited in triathlons and
time trials, these bikes are designed to be as aerodynamic as possible. Time trial bikes come with
aerodynamic handlebars that look like a small wing attached to the front of a bike, and often have
deep rims or disk wheels, aerodynamic tubing, and high gear ratios. Bike designers place less
emphasis on weight in time trial bikes because race courses are generally flat.
Track: The track bike’s home is the velodrome—a banked track between 250 and 400 meters around.
Although track bikes may look like traditional road bikes, they differ in that they are outfitted with only
one fixed gear. This means that if the bike is moving, the pedals are moving, and there are no brakes.
Women's:
With frames specificallydesigned to accommodatewomen, these road bikesusually have more stand-overroom, shorter top tubes (thehighest tube on a bike thatruns horizontally), andsteeper seat angles. Justnote that not allmanufacturers offer female-specific bikes, as manystandard models also fitwomen. Therefore, womenshould not necessarily limittheir search to just female-specific bikes.

On a track bike, the rear sprocket is mounted directly to the hub, which prevents the rider from
coasting. In other words, whenever the rear wheel is spinning, the pedals will turn.
Fixie and Single Speed: Although they are similar to track bikes, fixie and single speed bikes are
geared towards urban riding and commuting. Fixies differ from single speeds in that with the former,
the rider cannot coast (because the pedals are fixed onto the rear hub), and with the latter, the rider
benefits from a freewheel mechanism that makes it possible to coast.
Touring/ Commuting: Touring/ commuting bikes typically have a more upright riding position and a
slightly lower center of gravity. This provides stability when carrying heavy loads on these bikes, which
also accommodate larger tires, racks, and fenders.
