Light on its feet
A light frame and wheels make it easier to pick up speed and climb hills.
THE OPEN ROAD, MADE SIMPLE
Meet the
road bike.
A light, quick bicycle built for paved roads—and for the lovely feeling of going a little farther than you planned.
Start with the basics01THE BEGINNER’S GUIDE
01 / THE BASICS
Made for the
long way home.
Road bikes are designed to travel efficiently on paved surfaces. They feel light under you, roll quickly, and make everything from a short spin to an all-day adventure feel possible.
You’ll recognise one by its drop handlebars, narrow tyres, and riding position that helps you cut through the wind.
Built to roll
Slim tyres are made for smooth tarmac and help you cover ground efficiently.
Ready for distance
Multiple hand positions and gears help keep longer rides comfortable.
02 / BIKE ANATOMY
A few parts.
A whole new view.
You don’t need to know every bolt. Start with the parts you’ll see and feel on every ride.
Drop handlebars
Curved bars give you several places to rest your hands, from upright to tucked in.
Frame
The bike’s backbone. The right size matters more than the material or the latest tech.
Gears
Shift to an easier gear for hills and a harder one when the road flattens out.
Tyres
Narrow, high-pressure tyres roll smoothly on pavement. Check their pressure before you go.
03 / YOUR FIRST RIDE
Keep it simple.
Keep it rolling.
Your first ride doesn’t need a training plan. A few small checks make it safer and more fun.
