Road bikes (or race bikes), stand for the exhilaration of speed, for maximum efficiency as well as for minimalism and aesthetics. With a race bike, you fly over the asphalt - faster than with any other bike. The race bike is no longer just for racing. Different road bike categories have the right model for every rider. We show you what to look out for when buying a new road bike.
In the past, this question was easy to answer - the name said it all: a race bike is meant for racing. Racing bikes have always been defined by lightweight frames, narrow tyres and the characteristic drop bar. Of course, they still exist: Racing bikes designed for best times in races. But that is no longer everything. Today, modern materials and more relaxed geometries make it possible to build racing bikes that are particularly comfortable. There are also models for children and for women.
First, let's see what are the different types of road bikes:
Let's now see what are the specifics of the different road bike categories:
The name says it all: the aero road bike is built primarily with a focus on aerodynamics. This is important for all those who value maximum efficiency. For time trial competitions, for example, aero road bikes are the ideal choice. Here, maximum performance is reached in a short time. An aero racing bike can save a few watts and make the difference between victory and defeat. Aero road bikes usually have a streamlined carbon road bike frame. Wheels with high rims and aerodynamically optimised equipment are also common characteristics.
The classic among racing bikes. Since every race is different, good all-round characteristics are particularly important. Racing bikes have a balanced but sporty geometry. Every gram is haggled over, both in the frame and in the parts: race bikes are super light! Some of the lightest racing bikes ever belong to the race bike category. Modern race bikes have a carbon frame, disc brakes and electronic gears.
Carbon has become the preferred frame material for modern road bikes. Carbon has ideal properties for the construction of road bike frames. Its fibres can be adapted with millimetre precision. This way, they offer exactly the desired properties. For example, the road bike frame can be made extremely stiff through the skilful use of carbon in the area of the crankset. In the area of the seat tube, on the other hand, a carbon road bike frame can be designed to be more flexible and comfortable.
Features of road bikes with carbon frames:
Road bikes made of aluminium are particularly popular in the entry-level range. A typical example is the Cube Attain Pro road bike. Aluminium is a proven material with which the road bike industry has a lot of experience. This means that efficient, high-quality racing bikes can be built from aluminium that are comparatively inexpensive. If you want to buy a road bike and your budget is limited, take a look at aluminium road bikes.
Road bikes with aluminium frames offer these features:
Steel road bikes are hard to find these days. Steel racing bikes are still very popular in the vintage scene. New steel racing bikes are also offered by various custom frame builders.
Steel road bikes have these characteristics:
This question is difficult to answer. The price range of road bikes is really wide. The upper limit is - as so often - almost unlimited. The frame material of the road bike and the equipment determine the price. But there is good news: nowadays there are really good road bikes for little money. If you buy a road bike with an aluminium frame and mid-range equipment, you get top material for 2,000 to 3,000 euros.
This is where opinions differ. Many road cyclists swear by groupsets from certain manufacturers. Some only use Shimano parts on their bikes. Others swear by racing bike components from SRAM. And for others, a road bike without a Campagnolo groupset is not a real road bike. There is one more piece of good news: no matter which racing bike groupset you choose, you can't go far wrong. Today, all road bike groupsets are sophisticated and offer the best function.
You can safely base your decision on how high your budget is. Next, consider whether you want to use mechanical or electronic gears on your road bike. A mechanical road bike gear system is usually cheaper. They are fully developed and can be easily repaired by yourself. They don't need any electronic components or batteries and are particularly long-lasting. Electronic road bike gears are incredibly precise and practical to use. They are available as a wireless version, which ensures an incomparably clean look for your road bike. However, all this high-tech comes at a price: electronic drivetrains are usually more expensive. Fortunately, the new technology, is finding its way into more and more affordable road bike groupsets.
An important point with regard to road bike gears is the gear ratio. If you prefer to race, you will need a different gear ratio than on an alpine cross. As a rule, road bikes are equipped ex works with a gear ratio that suits the intended use. A real race bike, for example, comes with 52/36 chainrings and an 11/30 cassette. A typical gear ratio for an endurance road bike is 50/34 at the front and an 11-34 cassette. Most road bikes today are equipped with two chainrings on the crank.
For a long time it was clear: a "real" racing bike has a rim brake. Rim brakes were mandatory for use in UCI races until recently. However, this rule has been updated. Since disc brakes have been allowed in racing, they have rapidly gained acceptance. Many advantages speak for the use of racing disc brakes. The constant high braking power under all weather conditions is the biggest plus point. Hydraulic racing disc brakes automatically compensate for wear on the brake pads. This improves both handling and safety.
Road bike rim brakes are inexpensive and feature simple, absolutely proven technology. This can be a big advantage when you go on a long trip with your road bike. If you have a defect on your rim brake on the road, you can repair it yourself without the need to find a bike shop.
Your road bike must fit you perfectly. Your riding style is an important criterion for this and of course your body size. The anatomy of the body of children and women differs significantly from that of men. That's why there are road bike models that are precisely tailored for this.
Which features are particularly important for women's road bike models? The right frame size is all-important. Women's road bikes are usually available in smaller frame sizes because many women are smaller. The geometry is also perfectly adapted to women. The same applies to many road bike parts. Narrower handlebars or special saddle models for women can make sense on a women's road bike. Last but not least, the look also plays a role. After all, you have to like your new women's road bike, don't you?
With kids, the right road bike size is even more obvious: children are smaller, even if they grow quickly. By the way: Because children grow so quickly, the price of a children's racing bike is an important criterion. If the children need a new racing bike in two years, it should be cheaper than daddy's carbon racing bike, right? That's why there are many low-priced offers in the children's racing bike segment. Nevertheless, a children's racing bike should be comfortable, safe and light. The challenge is to offer all these features at a good price.
Both bike categories have a dropbar - isn't a gravel bike a subcategory of a road bike? You need to know that the gravel bike evolved from the cyclocross bike. And the classic CX bike is traditionally an off-road form of the road bike. Many male and female road cyclists like to switch to the cyclocross bike in winter. So the question is quite justified. Nevertheless, we believe that gravel bikes are a separate bike genre. Despite their origins, gravel bikes are nowadays very different from a road bike. The drop bar, however, is one of the similarities. But the differences to the road bike are obvious:
If you want to buy a road bike, it costs a lot of money. Of course, you want to enjoy your new road bike for as long as possible, don't you? Fortunately, racing bikes are very sophisticated and easy to maintain these days. Nevertheless, you should give your new road bike regular care. We show you which care and maintenance work you should carry out.
