Well over a hundred years of cycling can’t be wrong. The fascination with racing bikes remains unbroken. The slim-tired driving machines convert every step on the pedals directly into propulsion. Because of their sporty character, they are the first choice for many cyclists to brave the wind for many kilometers on the lower handlebars, conquer mountain passes, or experience pure speed in winding road descents.

Depending on your own focus, today you can choose between a classic road bike, a designated long-distance or aero model, an exotic-looking triathlon bike, or off-road variants for cyclocross and gravel road use. Modern road bikes, triathlon bikes, and cyclocrossers usually roll to the start with carbon or aluminum frames and 2×11 gears. More and more manufacturers are also relying on disc brakes in the world of road bikes. Electronic gears can also be found in the top segment.
