14 best inexpensive road bikes
Inexpensive road bikes are affordable options for cyclists looking to hit the road without breaking the bank. These bikes are designed for on-road riding and commuting and are ideal for those new to road cycling or seeking budget-friendly options. Here are some key features and considerations for inexpensive road bikes:
Frame Material: Inexpensive road bikes typically feature frames made of materials like aluminum or steel.Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it a popular choice for budget road bikes.
Components: Look for road bikes equipped with reliable components. Entry-level road bikes often feature drivetrain components from reputable brands like Shimano or SRAM. Pay attention to the number of gears (speeds) the bike offers.
Brakes: Road bikes typically have either rim brakes or disc brakes. Rim brakes are more common on budget-friendly options and provide adequate stopping power. Disc brakes offer better performance in wet conditions but may be less common in this price range.
Tires: Road bike tires are typically narrow for reduced rolling resistance. Check the tire size and consider the type of roads you'll be riding on (smooth pavement vs. rough roads) when selecting a bike.
Handlebars: Road bikes typically have drop handlebars that provide multiple hand positions for comfort and aerodynamics. Ensure the handlebar width and shape are suitable for your riding style.
Saddle: The saddle should be comfortable for longer rides. You can always upgrade the saddle later if needed.
Frame Geometry: Pay attention to the bike's frame geometry, as it determines the riding position. Some road bikes have a more aggressive, aerodynamic geometry, while others offer a more relaxed, upright position.
Size and Fit: Ensure that the bike's size matches your body measurements. A properly fitted bike is crucial for comfort and performance.
Weight: While inexpensive road bikes may not be as lightweight as high-end models, they should still be reasonably lightweight for easier handling and maneuverability.
Brand and Reviews: Research the reputation of the bike brand and read user reviews to get a sense of the bike's performance, durability, and customer satisfaction.
Accessories: Consider what accessories are included with the bike. Some may come with basic accessories like pedals, while others may require you to purchase them separately.
Warranty: Check if the bike comes with a warranty, which can provide peace of mind in case of manufacturing defects.
Inexpensive road bikes can be a great entry point into the world of road cycling, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of riding on pavement without a significant financial investment. While they may lack some of the advanced features and materials found in high-end road bikes, they are a practical choice for beginners and budget-conscious cyclists.

User questions & answers
Question: | Do they get sticky in extreme hot weather in storage |
Answer: | Depending on your definition of extreme hot weather oh, are we talking about LV112 degrees PLUS or 80-100 degrees. In the 80 to 100 degrees I haven't noticed any issues. |
Question: | Ordered on 5/31/20, still showing as "Not yet shipped" When will it ship |
Answer: | Might be coming from China where there is very little going on because of the pandemic. No adult bikes at Walmart for example. Trek builds almost all bikes sold in USA overseas practically all from main land China |
Question: | are the end caps removeable because i would want to install alluminum ends |
Answer: | No they are all one piece. There are no end caps. U might be able to modify them and install your aluminum ends on them. |
Question: | What is the length and inside width of the product, meaning, what size do the handle bars need to be to fit this over it |
Answer: | They will fit any standard bicycle handle bar. If they seem tight just use a little soap and water and they will slip right on. If too big just use a bit of super glue to hold them in place. The measurement of handle bars are usually 7/8" - 1 1/8". Hope this helps. |
