As pure a bike as you’ll ever find, the Langster likes fast friends. Clearly a bike with one gear and no brakes is not for the faint of heart. That’s OK, though, because you’re not worried about spinning it out down the backside of a small roller or having a little water splash up off the back tyre. You’re more about the hum a properly tuned fixed-gear bike makes when brought up to speed, the roller-coaster-gone-off-the-tracks feeling of dropping down the banking with a lap to go, or cranking past fellow riders on a shallow climb

What is a Road Bike?Referred to as road racing bikes, the clue is in the title here. These bikes concentrate on being light weight and reducing drag to increase speed. Thanks to their drop handlebars they have a stretched out feel, again for aerodynamics. So efficiency is the name of this game, definitely not comfort. For more information on road bikes see our
