The best road bikes under £1,500 really do give you a lot for you money. A benefit of spending this sort of money is that the bikes start to get much lighter than those costing half as much, which will have a significant impact on the ride quality and performance, and your times up your local hills.
You’ve lots of choice of bike styles among the best road bikes under £1,500: race bikes, endurance bikes, gravel bikes, frames from carbon fibre and aluminium, rim brakes or disc brakes
Shimano Tiagra dominates the component spec here, though occasionally SRAM groupsets pop up, you’ll find some Shimano GRX on gravel bikes, and there are bikes with Shimano’s 105 components too.
Direct-mail operations offer very competitive bikes in this bracket, but of course you’ll need to know exactly what size you are, and how to do your own final assembly and adjustment.
