Best Road Bikes Under £2000
Road bikes are lightweight, stiff, and comfortable offering the fastest ride possible. At under £2,000, there are many high-performance options to choose from, and most commonly have a more relaxed geometry for endurance riding or sportives.
Endurance/sportive bikes, allow for a more relaxed, upright riding position which makes for a comfortable ride over short or long distances. There are also compliance features built into these models, which absorb any bumps or vibrations from the road.
More aggressive bikes such as race or aero bikes have a more aggressive geometry that favours speed over comfort. This means a race or aero bike will have a lower riding position and a much stiffer frame to allow for a faster ride and power transfer when sprinting or racing.

Under £2000, our pick of the best road bikes includes lightweight aluminum frames, matched with full carbon forks to offer better stiffness. Along with, slick 2x drivetrains most commonly with group sets like Shimano 105 which offer a wide range of gearing and are a little more lightweight. Disc brakes are also a suitable and reliable component allowing for more stopping power and a confidence boost.
At this price point, you’ll see most bikes have lighter wheelsets and rim brakes. However, higher performance models will have more reliable hydraulic disc brakes, but also the cable-operated type of disc brakes to keep the price down. Other components such as chain sets, can also be changed to offer a lower price, with no added weight gain.
