avalanche road bikes
built for speed
Road bikes are made to achieve maximum speed. Characterised by their lightweight frames, narrow, high-pressure tyres, and drop handlebars, they’re built for more than you ever thought possible on the road.
Since they’re made for speed and efficiency, road bikes also tend to have higher gear ratios, making it easier to maintain high speeds over long distances.
ultra light
Road bikes are built light for enhanced performance. Their frames and components are made from lightweight materials like aluminium or carbon fibre, contributing to the bike's responsiveness and acceleration ability.
As you move up in price brackets, you’ll notice that road bikes become lighter and more responsive.
More aerodynamic
Aerodynamic drag is the natural resistance to a moving bike – which slows you down and drains energy. Road bikes are designed to combat this with light, streamlined builds and components that reduce drag and improve speed.
The narrow tyres (often around 23 to 28 mm wide) are made to roll smoothly on paved surfaces and have minimal tread patterns to reduce resistance further.
