What is a road bike?

A road bike is a bicycle designed for use on paved roads. These bikes are built with lightweight frames and thin, smooth tyres, allowing you to ride at high speeds with minimal resistance. 

Road bikes are typically used for racing, long-distance rides, or commuting.

Racing road bikes are designed for competitive races. If you're looking for a commuter road bike, you probably want to avoid a racing bike. Unless you want the high-speed option so you'll never be late for that morning meeting again. 

Types of road bikes 

• Racing road bikes are known as "pro-level" bikes. They're crafted to be as lightweight and aerodynamic as possible, with steep angles and an aggressive riding position.
• Endurance road bikes are also called "sportive" bikes. These have a more relaxed riding position for extra comfort and are best suited for long-distance rides. 
• Commuter road bikes are designed for the everyday rider and are built with durability in mind. You'll often find accessories such as fenders and racks with commuter road bikes. 

At CYKOM, all our new and Pro WorldTour Team-used road bikes are engineered to climb, corner and descend with efficiency and speed, perfect for road cycling.

That competitive edge you're after? It's here. Our bikes give you the power to do it all. And do it faster than other riders. 

How to choose the best road bike?

Choosing the right bike isn't as simple as buying the first one you see, adjusting the seat and pedalling off into the horizon. And for anyone hoping to join the Tour de France, the task is even harder. 

1. Purpose: What do you plan on using the bike for? Are you looking for a race-ready bike, or a bike for long-distance rides or commuting? 
2. Budget: Consider your budget and find a bike that fits your price range. Remember that you get what you pay for, so be prepared to invest in a higher-quality bike if you want a reliable and durable ride. 
3. Frame: Beyond the different categories of road bikes, there are frame materials to choose from, including aluminium, carbon fibre frame, steel, and titanium. 
4. Size: Choose a bike that's the right size for you. Use a bike size chart or have a professional bike fitting done to determine the correct size.
5. Components: Look at the elements on the bike, such as the drivetrain, brakes, and wheels, and ensure they are of good quality and suitable for your needs. All our bikes — from new to used — are individually checked by our team of mechanics so you're safe knowing you're getting top quality. 
6. Brand: Research different bike brands and check out reviews to get a sense of their reputation and the quality of their products.
7. Test ride: If possible, try out a few different bikes to see which one feels the most comfortable and performs the best. That's the advantage of buying a bike previously owned by a pro team — you know it can go the distance! 

Road bike sizing | What size bike do you need?

For efficient power transfer and handling, it's key to find a bike that fits well. So how do you find the right bike size for you? 

Start by multiplying your stride length (inseam) by 0.66. The formula looks like this:

Frame size = stride length (in cm) X 0.66

Here we have created a simple table with frame sizes.

Measure your inseam by standing against a wall and measure from the ground to your crotch. Then use a bike size chart (like the measurements listed above) to find the right size based on your inseam length.

You can also have a professional bike fitting done at a local bike shop and use that measurement to shop for your next road bike with us. 

Remember that bike sizes can vary between brands and models, so it's always a good idea to try out a few different sizes to see which one feels the most comfortable.

What are the best road bike tyres?

Your tyres are the only point of contact between you and the road, making them one of the most important components on your road bike. 

Here are our top factors to consider when choosing road bike tyres:

1. Purpose: Are you using the tyres for racing, training, or everyday riding? Different tyres work for different purposes, so choose a tyre that fits your riding needs. 
2. Width: Road bike tyres come in a range of widths, from narrow 23mm tyres to wider 28mm or even 32mm tyres. Wider tyres offer more comfort and stability but may be slower than narrower tyres.
3. Thread: Road bike tyres can have either smooth or textured tread patterns. Smooth tyres are best for racing and provide the lowest rolling resistance. Textured tyres offer more grip and are better suited for training or wet weather conditions.
4. Durability: Durability matters. Especially if you plan on using them for long-distance rides or in rough conditions.

Some popular road bike tyre brands include Continental, Vittoria, and Michelin. Always read reviews and do your research before purchasing tyres. And as always, reach out to us if you have any questions.

What are the right pedals for road bikes?

The best road bike pedals offer low weight, improved aerodynamics and increased foot stability. Here's a look at our favourite types:

1. Clipless pedals: These pedals allow you to "clip" your shoes into the pedals for a secure and efficient connection. Clipless pedals require special cycling shoes with cleats on the bottom.
2. Platform pedals: These pedals have a flat surface that you rest your feet on while riding. They don't require special cycling shoes, making them a great choice for beginners or casual riders.
3. Toe clips: These are like cages that fit around the front of your feet and attach to the pedals. Toe clips provide a more secure connection than platform pedals, but aren't as efficient as clipless pedals.

If you're a serious rider or plan on doing more long-distance rides than commutes to work, clipless pedals are probably the best choice. For casual or beginner riders, platform pedals are the better option.
