Rapide RL1 Road Bike
Offering the best possible value for money, with full Shimano gearing, a lightweight aluminium frame and even a carbon fibre fork, there are bikes costing almost twice as much that can't match this level of kit.
The Rapide RL1 features Shimano Claris 8 speed transmission which, with the inclusion of a front mech, mean you have 16 gears to choose from, making speedy riding and steep climbs an cinch.
Stopping is taken care of via powerful, easy to maintain, Tektro caliper brakes, which also keep the overall weight down. Fast rolling 25c Continental Ultrasport II tyres on the RL1 mean that every ride will be quick and smooth, whether you are commuting, riding with friends or taking on a long promised 'challenge'. All told, the Rapide RL1 is an amazingly affordable way to get into road cycling and leave space for a helmet, lock and lights into the bargain.
