As the road cycling season is fast approaching, it's time to check out the latest and best road bikes for when the weather gets better. Here are some of our favourite road bikes for 2023.
What distinguishes these bikes generally is their shape and the purpose they are designed for. Endurance road bikes are designed to be shorter and more upright for longer rides. Race geometry puts you in a faster position by being more stretched out and lower and aero bikes are race bikes with more emphasis on an aerodynamic frame for faster straight line speeds.
There is also a distinction in the frame materials used - Aluminium frames and carbon forks are common at the lower end of the price scale and when you spend more money, you get full carbon frames for significantly more efficiency and comfort. We have a wide range of men's and women's road bikes for sale.
We’ve chosen 6 of our favourite road bikes from our 2023 collection from our race, aero and endurance, full-carbon and aluminium road bike categiories.

Giant TCR Advanced Pro Disc 0 Ultegra Di2 2022 Road Bike
The TCR is Giant's lightweight all-rounder. This frameset was developed to give road racers and riders greater climbing capabilities, aerodynamic efficiency, and sprint stiffness for race-winning performance, thanks to an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio and enhanced aero tube shaping.
In varying weather and road conditions, integrated disc brakes provide smooth, powerful stopping ability and modulation for increased control. Flat mounts and redesigned thru-axles improve overall handling, whilst increased frame and fork clearance allows for up to 32mm tyre diameters.
