The perfect bike

Many people are looking for a bike that can do it all: serve as a commuter bike, training bike, winter bike, or bike for a cycling holiday. We believe that’s impossible - at least if riding is supposed to be enjoyable.

Gravel and touring bikes

As a happy medium for fast commuting, we often recommend a Gravel bike or an Adventure bike. You get wider tires for a more comfortable ride, room for studded tires in winter, and the option to equip the bike with both mudguards and a rack. They’re also built to be extremely durable.

For a dedicated cycling holiday, where panniers and heavy luggage are the focus, a touring bike is preferable. It usually has a longer wheelbase to position the panniers close to the bottom bracket, resulting in a well-balanced bike. If the wheelbase is too short, you also risk hitting the bags with your heels while pedaling. The frame is reinforced and has all the mounting points you need for racks and other equipment. A touring bike is optimized for carrying loads; it may feel a little sluggish when empty, but in its element it offers unrivaled stability.

Ride fast and far on a road bike

If you want to ride fast and far, a classic road bike is ideal. It’s built for high speeds, with low weight and geometry that minimizes air resistance and maximizes power transfer. Pure training and racing bikes, on the other hand, are rarely the best commuter bikes, as they seldom have mounts for mudguards and require narrow, high-pressure tires. But of course, they work perfectly well for a fast training ride to and from work.
