Why choose a Carbon Fibre Bike?

Carbon Fibre is one of the most exciting materials used in the design and construction of road bikes, and it’s a material which was previously only used in aerospace and motorsport applications. Incredibly tough, yet incredibly light - carbon fibre is the perfect material for road bikes. 

As well as being incredibly strong, when components such as front forks are made from carbon fibre - the rider can enjoy not only further weight savings and incredible strength - but also increased absorption of bumps and knocks.

More affordable than ever, it’s easier than ever for riders of all capabilities to enjoy all of the benefits of a carbon fibre bike.
