Types of Road Bikes at ERIK’S

These all-around performers are built for pavement riding, offering speed, agility, and efficiency. Great for everything from weekend rides and fitness training to full-on race events, this category covers the widest range of traditional road bikes.

Endurance Road Bikes

Perfect for longer rides and rougher roads, endurance bikes feature more relaxed geometry for comfort over distance. Wider tires, stable handling, and vibration-damping frame designs make these ideal for fondo rides, centuries, and long days in the saddle.

Gravel Bikes

With clearance for wider tires, rugged frames, and off-road-ready drivetrains, gravel bikes are made for exploring unpaved roads, trails, and mixed terrain. They're a go-to choice for riders who want versatility and adventure without giving up speed.

Adventure Bikes

Built tough and loaded with gear-mounting options, adventure bikes are designed for touring, bikepacking, and off-grid exploration. They’re built to handle rough routes, heavy loads, and long distances with comfort and control.

Commuter Bikes

Speed meets practicality in our commuter road bikes. These models blend performance-focused designs with everyday features like rack and fender mounts, upright geometry, and comfortable gearing—ideal for daily travel.

Fitness Bikes

Fast and nimble, fitness bikes are designed to give you a solid workout on the road without the aggressive position of a racing bike. They’re perfect for riders who want road bike speed with a more relaxed, upright riding feel.

Flat Bar Road Bikes

These bikes take the performance of a traditional road bike and swap the drop handlebars for a flat bar, giving you a more upright position, better control, and visibility—great for urban rides, new riders, or anyone who prefers a more casual fit.

Drop Bar Bikes

A defining feature of many road bike types, drop bars allow for multiple hand positions and improved aerodynamics. This broad category includes race, endurance, and gravel bikes—all built for efficiency and speed.

Recreational Road Bikes

Designed with comfort and ease of use in mind, recreational bikes are perfect for casual riders, weekend cruisers, or anyone getting into cycling for the first time. They focus on stable handling, simple shifting, and an approachable fit.

Hybrid Road Bikes

Combining elements of road and mountain bikes, hybrid road bikes are versatile, upright, and easy to ride. Great for short commutes, casual workouts, or riders looking for a little bit of everything in one bike.

Key Features to Consider When Buying a Road Bike

Frame Geometry: Aggressive (race) geometry maximizes power and speed, while endurance and commuter bikes offer upright, comfort-oriented positioning for longer or daily rides.

Frame Materials:

• Carbon Fiber: Lightweight, responsive, and smooth—ideal for racing and serious cyclists.
• Aluminum: Durable and affordable with great all-around performance. 
• Steel: Known for its smooth ridefeel and classic aesthetic. 
• Carbon/Alloy Mix: Some bikes combine materials to balance performance and price.

Handlebar Style: Choose between traditional drop bars for multiple hand positions and aerodynamic advantage, or flat bars for a more relaxed, upright position and better visibility.

Tire Width & Clearance: Narrower tires offer better speed and efficiency on pavement, while wider tires provide comfort and traction on mixed terrain or rough roads.

Drivetrain & Gearing: Consider the terrain you'll ride. Compact and wide-range gearing makes hills easier to climb, while performance gearing suits flatter, faster routes.

Road Bike FAQs

What kind of road bike is best for beginners?

Flat bar, recreational, or endurance road bikes are great options for beginners. They offer a more relaxed fit, easier control, and a smoother entry into road cycling.

Can I ride a gravel or adventure bike on the road?

Absolutely. While designed for mixed terrain, gravel and adventure bikes perform well on pavement—especially if you prefer wider tires and a more stable ride.

Is there a big difference between race bikes and endurance bikes?

Yes. Race bikes have aggressive geometry for speed and efficiency, ideal for competitions. Endurance bikes offer a more upright position and added comfort for longer rides.

Do I need a carbon frame to ride fast?

Not necessarily. While carbon frames are lighter and more responsive, high-quality aluminum frames can still deliver excellent speed and performance at a lower cost.
