Your road bike – for speed and precision

Cyclocross – Your bike for any terrain
When the road ends, the fun begins. Our cyclocross bikes are perfect for anyone who doesn't want to be limited to asphalt. Muddy trails, rocky paths or slippery surfaces? No problem! With a stable frame, wide tires and precise components, you can master any terrain and always stay in control.
What makes a high-quality road bike?
The highest quality components and a super-light, aerodynamic design make our racing bikes both beautiful and true high-performance racing machines. Typical for road bikes are light and rigid diamond frames, narrow racing saddles, curved handlebars and slim, low-profile tires, as well as rigid forks, which - thanks to the most modern components - ultimately allow for thrilling dynamics.
Your seat on a road bike remains stretched, and the absence of comfortable suspension promises maximum efficiency and loss-free energy transfer. The focus of a road bike is on perfected aerodynamics and a heavy design that still allows you to pedal powerfully even at high speeds. Today's racing bikes weigh between 8 and 9 kilograms on average, but at least 6.8 kilograms. Regulations set the limits. Due to the center of gravity, safety with regard to the StVZo is initially neglected for racing bikes, but they can always be retrofitted.
You can choose your gear system according to your riding style, whereby these differ in terms of fine tuning. Meanwhile, you can even get electronic support: E-shift systems that react significantly more precisely and quickly. Other differences include the use of heavy or lighter wheels. The handlebars should match your build, which means that the shape can be more important than the material, because the nature of your limbs will not forgive any ignorance in the long run. In addition, the stem should be considered, which allows you to significantly optimize your seating position. Overall, you should focus on reliability and function. So make your individual preferences the measure of all things, decide, if possible, regardless of price. Specifications in the racing sector also make it possible to choose between off-road or paved routes. Of course, you will also find cyclocross in our portfolio.
The riding characteristics depend on the quality of the frame
Carbon or aluminum makes a difference, with the more expensive carbon absorbing shocks optimally. Determine exactly what you want to use your road bike for, in order to choose the right bike type.
Start small to begin with... Or do you already count yourself among the pros?
It is a fact that there are reliable bikes even in the lower price segment, but there is a big gap to the professional bikes when the individual components and wheel properties are examined more closely. It starts with the weight, because the material often makes the difference, as do the wheels, where decisive factors regarding agility and acceleration are at play. However, what is required and also fulfilled in affordable models, from beginner to professional, is adequate comfort. Fortunately, we can wholeheartedly recommend even affordable bikes in this regard. The affordable models only let you know when it comes to seat posts that carbon is taking over from aluminum.
The price classification:
Beginners should start with road bikes from 600-1500 euros, while the mid-range is well served with bikes between 1500 and 3000 euros. As a pro, you may be willing to spend up to 10,000 or 15,000 euros, although you can also find suitable models from 3000 euros – depending on what the pro is looking for..
Rim vs. disc brake
If you can reach speeds of over 80 km/h, you don't want to compromise on reliability, especially when it comes to braking performance. At the same time, however, the choice of brake remains a matter of taste, since the advantages and disadvantages are roughly balanced. But where do disc brakes have the advantage? The ability to control the braking force, for example, is crucial. This is much more precise with disc brakes. The total energy converted is higher, but you need less force, which promises you an advantage on long descents. Even if the weather lets you down, your disc brake will not. In addition, wear and tear is minimal. Ultimately, the decisive factor is that a disc brake, even in bad weather conditions, does everything it promises, provided it has been professionally installed and bled. Another plus is the interchangeability of the wheels, which only the disc brake allows.
Conclusion: Since weight is a very important component of your road bike, you should think carefully about which components you want to have installed. Carefully consider what is important to you in detail. Expect a price difference of between 300 and 1000 euros for the higher-quality disc brake, which is worthwhile if you don't want your tours to depend on the weather and/or you prefer more safety and traction, i.e. wider tires, as with touring road bikes or gravel bikes. So, overall, it depends on what kind of racing you do and what kind of athlete you see yourself as. Ultimately, your needs and not your budget should determine your riding enjoyment. You might consider a gravel bike or a cyclocross bike. The latter has wider and rougher tires and disc brakes, and is suitable for off-road use.
