Endurance Road Bikes

Endurance road bikes are made for long, comfortable days in the saddle. They have a taller front end, a smoother ride and room for wider tyres, so they are ideal for Gran Fondos, weekend loops and rough Victorian roads. Browse the range below or visit us at 107 Bay Street, Port Melbourne.

Why choose an endurance road bike?

An endurance road bike puts you in a more upright position, which is easier on your back and neck. Most also take tyres of 32 mm or more, so they soak up chip seal and broken bitumen. As a result, you can ride further and still feel fresh at the end.

Endurance road bike FAQs

Is an endurance road bike slower than a race bike?

Not by much. Most riders go just as fast on endurance road bikes over a long ride because they stay comfortable. Still, if you race, a race or aero road bike is the sharper choice.

Is an endurance bike good for beginners?

Yes. The relaxed position and stable handling make it the best first road bike for most people. Also, alloy models such as the Scott Speedster keep the price down.

Can I ride gravel on an endurance bike?

Light gravel paths are fine on wider tyres. For regular dirt roads, however, a gravel bike gives you more grip and clearance.

Do you fit the bike to me?

Yes. Every new bike includes a free bike fit and first service at 107 Bay Street, Port Melbourne. Contact our team to book a time.
