The key thing to think about when choosing your road bike is how you plan to use it – is it for fitness or performance?
Want To Get Fit? Or Are You Just Getting Into Road Cycling?
Go for a bike that’s shaped to give you a more comfortable position – a flat handlebar will do this and make the bike easier to handle. An aluminium frame is a good idea because it will be lighter and more efficient. Carbon forks also help make bikes lighter.
Is Your Priority Performance?
You need a frame that is light and efficient no matter how hilly the terrain is. From flat ground to mountains, a performance road bike won’t slow down, and teamed with an aluminium or carbon frame, won’t hinder comfort.

To make your bike more effective and even lighter, you could consider using higher end components for the wheels and drivetrain.
