Are you satisfied with our product range?

Looking for a road bike? We stock a wide range of racing bikes.

A good road bike is a bike that really suits you. Not only the frame size of your road bike, but also the material and the components. For example, do you want the lightest and most rigid road bike? Then you'll need a carbon road bike. If you don't want to spend too much money, then an aluminium road bike is the right choice. It's also very important to consider what you'll use the bike for. A road bike for races is of course very different from a bike for an occasional Sunday ride. Plus, the terrain you'll be cycling on is also important in your choice of road bike. The days of cycling only on tight asphalt are long gone. Gravel bikes and cyclocrossers, for instance, are becoming increasingly common. With these you can even go over the rough trails where you used to only see mountain bikes.

What's the difference between a carbon and an aluminium road bike?

When looking for a road bike, it's important to decide what material you want the frame to be made of. Here, you have a choice between a carbon or an aluminium frame. An aluminium frame is often cheaper than a carbon frame. Also, aluminium road-bikes are sturdier and are easier to repair. A carbon road-bike, on the other hand, is a lot lighter, which (especially uphill) ensures that you will go a lot faster. And while a carbon frame is slightly less sturdy, it does rust less quickly than an aluminium frame.

What's different about a women's road bike?

Not every woman enjoys cycling on a road bike made for men. That's why more and more women's road bike are available. The geometry is slightly different to better reflect the proportions of the female body. A woman who currently cycles on a men's racing bike and regularly suffers from cycling-related complaints might do well to look into a special women's racing bike.

What is a time trial bike?

Everything about a time trial bike is aimed at getting you to go as fast as possible on your road bike. The frame is often nice and narrow, and also has a special shape to direct the wind as favourably as possible. On a time trial bike, you lean forward very deeply. This can take some getting used to when you're riding a time trial bike for the first time. The frame is also very rigid and the rims are often nice and high. On top-rate models, those wheels are even made of carbon. A time trial bike is not the lightest type of bike. That's because there's more time to be gained from aerodynamics than from a slightly lighter frame.

What is the benefit of a fitness bike?

A fitness bike is a very sporty bike that looks a lot like a road bike, but the frame and straight handlebars are designed to optimise comfort. You don't ride in the drops like you do on a road bike, but you can cycle a day tour at a relatively fast speed. You take on a relatively straight-up sitting position and have good control because of the straight handlebars. A fitness cyclist is also often called a hybrid bike, but a hybrid bike has mudguards and often also a pannier rack. 

What's different about an electric road bike?

The electric road bike is on the rise. These are road bikes that have a battery concealed in a tube, which powers a mid-drive motor. You can barely see that there's a motor inside, in most good electric road bikes. Shifting is done with a derailleur, like you're used to, and the frame is nearly the same as that of a regular road bike. The only difference is that the down tube is a bit thicker to make space for the battery.

What's a gravel bike?

A gravel bike is made for more challenging terrain. While you used to only come across mountain bikes in the woods, you also see gravel bikes more and more often. But they're mainly designed for roads with (very) bad road surfaces. Most gravel bikes have a frame that you can also find on endurance road bikes. They encourage a fairly upright, comfortable sitting position. A gravel bike often also has wide tyres, or at least has space for wide tyres. 32, 35 and even 40 mm tyres are quite normal on a gravel bike. You can use these wide tyres with very low tyre pressures.
4 bar or even lower is quite normal on this type of road bike. Due to that low tyre pressure, these tyres smooth out bad road surfaces just fine. That's what makes a gravel bike even more comfortable. To make space for those wide road bike tyres, a gravel road bike always has disc brakes. A gravel bike is also quite rigid and often has extra strong wheels.

What is best to use a cyclocross bike for?

A cyclocrosser is much like a gravel bike. Again, they have plenty of space for extra-wide tyres. A cyclocrosser is made to race in the woods and through fields, which is traditionally the terrain of mountain bikes. A cyclocrosser almost always has disc brakes. That's because they allow you to use nice wide tyres, just like with gravel bikes, because you have more space in the frame.

Can I come for a test ride?

Of course, you can visit Mantel for a test ride. Before you leave, though, check whether your chosen bike is available in your nearest Superstore. To test ride, you can visit the Superstores below: Click on the links above for the address details and opening hours of the relevant Superstore.
