Touring Bikes

Touring bikes are ideal for long distance cycling and carrying luggage. Touring bikes offer a comfortable, more upright riding position that is ideal for long hours in the saddle and are capable of climbing steep gradients and cycling on rough roads. Another feature of touring bikes is their ability to carry heavier payloads with mountings for cycling panniers, rack bags, bottle cage holders and all the accessories you’ll ever need for a long day in the saddle, or a touring bike holiday around Europe.
