5 top road bikes today

By Hugo Costa


Regardless of how much training you do and how prepared you are for a road race, if your bike isn't up to the job there is no chance that you will be able to compete amongst the best. Make sure that whatever your budget you give yourself the best shot at performing well by riding the best bike possible. These are just 5 to consider. Bianchi Oltre Super Record. This is one of the more expensive models at 7,500 but for that price you're getting a super light bike that weighs just 6.43kg, which will allow you to race past competitors.

Bianchi Oltre Super Record. On the other end of the scale is the super light (just 6.43kg) Bianchi Oltre. But as the weight goes down the price comes up and you can expect to fork out 7,500 for the privilege of riding this pro-level road bike.

Bianchi Oltre Super Record. This Italian bike is packed with style but even more packed with features like internal cable routing and aerodynamic frame shaping. At just under 7,500 this road bike isn't the cheapest - but it's certainly one of the lightest at 6.43kg for the 57cm frame model.

Felt AR5. Felt are the makers of the world's fastest time trial and track bikes, so you know this is a brand name you can trust. This particular bike is a steal at 2,000 and has a carbon fibre frame, excellent handling, and the kind of features you've come to expect from Felt bikes such as Modular Monocoque Construction. This allows Felt to mould individual sections of the frame before bringing them together for complete optimization.

Ridley Noah FB FAST. So fast they had to use capital letters, this bike stands out in every way, not least because of its 10,000 price. While this road bike is extremely light, it's the aerodynamic design that really makes this bike lightning quick. The aerodynamic design means that you can achieve the same high speeds as other bikes for less effort, keeping you on top of your game for longer.
