Below I’ve detailed my current Top 5 list of road bikes. Also, be sure to check out ShopWiki’s bicycle buying guide which highlights the many factors to consider when buying a bike, bike styles and more.

The Top 5 Road Bikes

  1. Giant Sport OCR 2 – built by Giant, ‘The Global Bicycle Company’, it is built with an aluminum frame, coupled with a higher-end carbon-fiber fork, and strikes a terrific balance between performance and reliability.
  2. Schwinn Fastback Sport 24 – Schwinn is always said to be a good choice for novices. This bike has an all-aluminum frame with carbon-fiber blades.
  3. Marin San Rafael – the Marin San Rafael isn’t a road bike in the true sense, since it is more like a hybrid of a mountain bike that has been coupled with a road bike.
  4. Specialized Roubaix Comp – this bike features an all-carbon frame which makes it lighter and more ‘supple’ than aluminum or steel-framed bikes.
  5. Kona King Zing – another carbon-framed beauty.

Note: also check out ShopWiki’s guide to mountain bikes and kids bikes.
