Top 10 Best Road Bike Brands
Which bikes deliver the best combination of performance, handling, speed, etc.
Giant Manufacturing Co. Ltd. is a Taiwanese bicycle manufacturer that is recognized as the world's largest bicycle manufacturer. Just got into cycling. I did a little research before going to the bike shop, but once I road a giant the game was over. Great bike. For a beginner like myself it was affordable, light, and offers everything you need. It was comparable in price to cannondale and others but was superior. I expect to get many miles out of the bike. It is just awesome.
I own a Giant Defy advanced 2 (2012 version) with full ultegra and I cannot fault the bike.
Rides, accelerates and handles like bikes costing twice as much. It's a bike that you can easily
Ride all day, so comfortable and smooth just irons out the road in front of you.
Great bike great value! Own a defy advanced pro with impresive comfort & handling! True as it advertised.. No gimmick, just pure engineering! Never had this feeling before with my previous brand 'S' so called Endurance model... Thumbs up Giant!
Great road bikes Giant OCR (budget one on Shimano Sora components) and Giant TCR (carbon made + carbon Mavic Cosmc rims-added by me). Both stiff, both good quality, reasonably priced and simply good looking machines.
Will probably go into Giant Anthem 27,5 or Giant Trance 27,5 next year cause of their excellent Maestro susspension system.
Specialized Bicycle Components, Inc., more commonly known simply as Specialized, is a major American brand of bicycles and related products. I own a 2013 Venge Comp, have put well over 5,000 miles on it - a perfect balance between power and comfort and those are two difficult things to balance in a race bike.
Even if I had a Giant bike when I look at this Specialized bikes I'm always amaze when it comes in style and specs of the bike, this my dream bike..
I have an s-works tarmac sly and I love it so much. it's so stiff and lightweight I could ride its forever. specialised in general are the most recognised company for bicycles.
I have a 2014 Tarmac Elite, this is my for ever bike, just put Zipp 60 wheels on it. Not only looks better than any other brand on the road but performs as well.
The Cannondale Bicycle Corporation, is an American division of Canadian conglomerate Dorel Industries that supplies bicycles. I've owned four cannondales, from a CAAD 10 to a SuperSix and two Synapses. Their carbon frames are some of the best in the business and these days nobody does alloy better than cannondale. The steed getting most of my attention these days is a Synapse Carbon Disc Di2 with Reynolds Aero 46 wheels. 75 miles into a ride and you just become one with it. The bike becomes an extension of the person.
I went from a Specialized city to my 2014 Synapse 105 disk alloy and am convinced that it is the best and most comfortable bike I have ever had. By far the best fit and finish of any alloy. I am on the verge of turning 62 and have never enjoyed riding more then now on my Cannondale. Now my Harley just sits in the garage...
I love my 2011 Cannondale cad 10, I got the bike, joined a cycling team, and raced for a season and even completed my first century. Now I have just joined 15 and starting my second season, my coach says that this year I could be one of the best in the state. Thank you Cannondale!
2016 Cannondale Ultegra Carbon Synapse Disc. Had a Scott CR1 Team issue and thought that was good until I got my Synapse. So smooth feels like it has full suspension but accelerates like a rocket. Somehow its stiff and forgiving at the same time - perfect for the long distance endurance athlete.
Trek Bicycle Corporation is a major bicycle and cycling product manufacturer and distributor under brand names Trek, Electra Bicycle Company, Gary Fisher, Bontrager, Diamant Bikes, Villiger Bikes and until 2008, LeMond Racing Cycles and Klein. I own the Wahoo (aluminum frame mountain bike) and Madone 5.2 (carbon fiber road bike) Both are incredibly well built bikes. Since I am now 64, I don't ride hard core any more on the mountain bike but I have put well over 6000 miles on the road bike. Very comfortable, if you get the right saddle, and very powerful and fast. You get what you pay for and these bikes both deliver great quality and durability.
Love my Madone 2014 6 Series. Climbs like a dream. Lots of speed and power. So much fun to ride. I originally bought my children the Trek Trikesters which were built so sturdily and were easy for them to ride. Was very impressed with the quality, so I kept buying Treks as the kids grew older. Before I settled on my road bike, I test-rode several other brands before I settled on the Madone--it was the perkiest and most fun to ride out of all I tried.
I have a trek 1.1 and I absolutely love it! It's amazingly light for an aluminum frame it's comfortable on long rides while being a stiff enough frame not to flex when I stand and really dig into the pedals. ( 6 ft 2, and 215 lbs) I paid $769 brand new and this bike rides like some I've tried that were 3 times its price. I love this bike so much I just bought a trek 3500 mountain bike as well to have as my off road bike
Easily the best brand out there if you want to spend a little money. If you have a GIANT, be prepared to get a Walmart bike. Specialized is okay but really you want a Trek. I have a Madone 2010 (although it's called a 'Madone' its frame is really more like a modern Edmonda) and it's really an exceptional bike. If it's Trek it's probably going to be quality, so the price is well, well worth it if you want to bike a lot.
I own a Felt Verza Speed 50, it's of excellent build quality, have no problems after many miles, aluminium frame is incredibly light and well constructed, a very comfortable seat with which it came (Selle Royal Freccia), very, very fast, excellent components with which it came, and far cheaper than the competition, beautiful layout and design, would recommend it to everyone, score 10/10.
Felt makes bikes of the top quality and often sales them much cheaper than the competition. It does not make economic sense but makes a lot of sense to ride the bike. I have mine endurance road bike and it's a horse for life.
2011 F1 & F3 is the last good year for the F series. I own both F1 & F3 from that year. The F series is now made less expensive to be available to the average rider, but is still a solid bike. The AR series is awesome.
Great features for the price, and good liking bikes too. It's impressive that Felt bikes won 4 stages in the 2013 Tour, and like all the top brands, the R&D trickles down to the lower-priced bikes.
Pinarello Galileo is my first road bike since I was 16 years old (a few years ago! )
I wouldn't change this for anything, well another Pinarello. Sweet ride comfortable smooth just makes me want to stay in the saddle longer ever ride.
Awesome Bike.
I've been riding a Pinarello FP Quattro Ultegra for 1000 km and it always puts a big smile on my face. Everything works perfect, there's no friction at all, it all seems like a dream. Also stiff and confortable, you can't feel tired with such a bike. I can't imagine something better. Maybe only the Pinarello Dogma F8,
Amazing bike! I've been riding a Pinarello FP for 2 years now and I see no signs of stress on the bike, or the need for an upgrade. It's comfort, lightweight and the is awesome too!
Can't say enough on the built quality of pinarello frame
Spend the extra $... Bike rides much better than cervelo.
I have had a Cervelo since the age of 12, and I can personally tell you that these bikes deliver the fastest most comfortable ride.
Best climbing bikes on the market hands down (R3). So lightweight it feels like you're riding on air!
If you want to ride? there is only one solution for you with Cervelo!
Bought a new 2018 S3 and absolutely love it.
I own a Fuji 2013 roubalx bike, can't get a better bang for your buck. I love it, I spent $1200.00 for it and have been pleasantly surprised. Bear in mind this is a beginner level bike but it rides nice, shifts well, brakes well... Etc... Plus Fuji came recommended by the store staff themselves over many other brands...
Fuji's ride is comparable to other bikes included in the grand tours. Stable in corner turns and very stiff in accelerating during sprints. All it needs to do is participate in high profile tours and recruit standard riders. Fuji altamira sl can be very reliable and the fuji sst can accelerate along with other top road bikes.
My first MTB is a Fuji. Am a beginner rider. 6 mths later I got a hybrid to catch up with my buddy who could afford a Cervelo road bike. The hybrid is also a good looking Fuji. By the following ride, I was right behind my friend yet spent only a quarter of what she paid for. Very satisfied with both my Fuji bikes.
I am a beginner, I brought 2 Fuji road bikes; Fuji Sportif and Fuji Altamira
Sportif for going to work purpose and Altamira for training purpose.
I got them from Performance Bike shop, with the professional adjustment from the professional Racer, I can say it is perfect for me. The price is lower than some of the popular brands. If you have never tried it, you can go to the local shop and try it first see if you have the same thought ^_^
Bianchi has been making road bikes for the longest time as I can remember. I grew up looking at magazines for their bikes, dreaming of one day being able to own one, and cruise around on a proper Italian bike. Bianchi has been making the same great bikes, with the same, hand-crafted quality for 133 years now. Their bikes are made in Italy and designed by people who have an eye for design, innovation, and craftsmanship. Bianchi is number one in the world, and forever, number one in my heart.
The oldest Road bike company still in existence so it must be one of the best. For people who know bike brands other than giant and trek they would agree Bianchi should be in the top ten at least.
After a long time I have upgraded my road bike to a celeste bianchi impulso 2019 with 105 groupset. Loving the elegance and comfort of my bike. Forever Bianchi for me.
Had a cannondale for years but it was stolen in queens, ny. then I brought my bianchi 928 and I love it. its an old bike but its beautiful, comfortable and fast!
I have an S2 for almost a year now. The ride is excellent and smooth and It's a head turner on the road.
It's written on the side of your very expensive bike and yet you still spelled it wrong.
The P4 and the P5 are the 2 fastest bikes on the planet; so, by default, cervelo wins.
I'm 12 and I'm a keen cyclist. I brought the cervelo s5 road bike and it changed my life in road cycling
Scott is the best, I buy specialized tarmac but after few months the specialized frame has a crack from the head tube. So I decided to buy a new frame and I bought scott foil and now my scott foil is 2 years and it has very good condition. Salute to the scott bicycles
Scott Aspect! The best mountain bike I've owned. Highly recommend. Trek, Cannondale, Giant and Raleigh don't even come close in ride, reliability and customer service. I've owned all the above and Scott beats me all on the trail!
I have Spark ultimate, Addict ultimate, Foil premium and Plasma premium kienel edition, every one of these bikes are superior to the competitors and most joyful to ride.
I have Scott Solace 2016 and I must say it is one of the most complete bikes that I've had so far, I just enjoy it!
Stiff frames, superior quality price ratio.
More bike for the money
Great value for money
I own merida reacto 400tw, my verdict for this bike will it's a great Aero bike for your money and it's made of light aluminum around 8.6kg plus it's a full 105 group set...
I own merida reacto team, probably the best aero bike on the market...
The best bike
My only brand
I own a 2014 gtr. This bike is so much bang for the buck. Super light for an intermediate level bike, responsive and wilier design is one of a kind.
My 2012 Wilier Gran Turismo is one of the best bikes I've owned. Looks great but more importantly ride and handling is fantastic..
I have a Wilier Le Roi In in team Lampre colours 2008 with Campagnolo Record titanium and carbon group set.
Amazing build and stunning colours plus amazing to ride!
My Cento 10 Air is amazing. Fast, light, feels great and looks amazing. Super responsive and always wants to go.
I brought a Raleigh Revino 3.0 this year and love it! This bike is very comfortable to ride long distances. I rode 165 miles on a one day bike ride with out any problems.
Hands down one of the best road bikes you can get. Excellent balance and overall road performance.
Very good bike make
I have a 1983 Raleigh Zenith - still goes like the clappers 33 years later
Polygon bikes may not be the stiffest or lightest bikes on the planet, but they're still top notch, and they often come in an incredibly competitive prices. Many of their range-topping models come with all the top-tier spec (Dura-Ace Di2, etc) at a fraction of other companies'.
Polygon, for me, is a smart bike brand that gives the rider comfortable in any types of bicycles. And it has a pretty cool spesification (especially Shimano 105 equipped in Polygon Helios C5 2016) under $2000 price.
Amazing quality for the price you pay... Got a 2016 Helios C5, super light, super fast, super good!
Value for money bike. Best option for first timer road cyclist.
Well, you will see in Tour de France, at the front group. I have a Team machine SLR02, nothing to describe, just amazing
I just got a team machine slr02, best bike in its price range, by far!
Belongs in the top 5 of this list.
Simple, robust and precision-made bicycles. German quality, reasonable price and nice painting job.
One of the most beautiful bike ever built
and built from top quality materials, plus the welds are great looking
I previously owned a steel bottechia, I really regret selling it just looking for her nice tubing was a bless
Viva Italian bikes
Awesome modern designs from one of the oldest manufactures. Superb lines unmatched by the usual ho hum of the mass production builders - the ride matches any competitor - unique and value for money.
Just bought the orbea avant carbon m50. Very smooth and handles great.
Best finish, excellent shock absorption with minimal flex in carbon range, balanced and extremely stable and unique designs
Best bang for your buck!
Great looking bikes but you pay a premium price. Very stiff and fast. You feel every rock and pebble but you will probably win the race.
Very nice clean looking bike. Maybe a bit stiff, but seems very fast.
Rigid bike but very fast
