Road Racing Bikes

From carbon race bikes that blend lightweight efficiency with cutting-edge aerodynamics, to titanium frames that combine durability with smooth handling, there’s a race bike here for every type of rider. Maybe you’re after a Supersix Evo to carve through the corners, or a classic 10-speed to channel your inner pro peloton vibes—whatever your style, we’ve got you covered.

And because Cranxs is a marketplace where riders buy and sell directly to each other, you’ll find a diverse range of bikes, each with its own story, ready to help you write your next chapter on the road. So, whether you’re gearing up for your first race or adding another podium finish to your list, start here and find the racing bike that’s built to win.

Find Your Perfect Race Machine

Whether you're into criteriums, road races, or just love the feeling of the wind in your hair during a high-speed descent, your bike is more than just a tool—it's a key player in your performance. At Cranxs, our selection of new and used road racing bikes gives you access to top-tier machines without the hefty price tag of buying brand new.

What to Look for in a Road Racing Bike

Frame Material: Carbon, Titanium, or Aluminium?

Choosing the right frame material is crucial. Carbon fibre is the go-to for most serious racers, thanks to its lightweight and stiff properties, which provide excellent power transfer and a smooth ride. If you’re looking for something that marries lightweight performance with durability, a titanium race bike could be your best bet. And let’s not forget aluminium—often overlooked, but a solid choice for those seeking a budget-friendly yet performance-driven machine.

Geometry and Fit: Race Ready

The geometry of a road racing bike is designed for speed and agility. Look for a frame that offers a more aggressive, aerodynamic position—ideal for sprinting out of corners and holding your line in the peloton. A proper fit is paramount; a bike that fits like a glove allows you to transfer power efficiently and ride comfortably for longer.

Components: The Heart of Your Ride

Drivetrain and groupsets are the heart of your racing bike. Whether you prefer Shimano, SRAM, or Campagnolo, each offers high-performance options tailored to different racing styles. Consider also the gear ratios—10-speed racing bikes still hold their ground in many competitive circles, offering a range of options for different terrains and courses.

Buying New vs. Used: The Cranxs Advantage

Buying new is great, but if you're looking to get a top-tier bike at a fraction of the price, buying used can be a smart move. Our marketplace allows cyclists to buy and sell directly to each other, which means you can find meticulously cared-for bikes with only a few seasons of racing on them—or maybe a nearly new carbon race bike that didn't quite fit its original owner.

Popular Racing Bike Brands

Explore top brands in our marketplace like Specialized, Cannondale, Trek, and Bianchi. Looking for something niche? You might find a titanium race bike from a boutique brand, or perhaps a single-speed racing bike perfect for the minimalist racer.

Tips for Maintaining Your Racing Bike

To keep your racing bike in peak condition, regular maintenance is key. Ensure your drivetrain is clean and well-lubricated, check for any wear on your brake pads and tyres, and make sure your bike is always race-ready. It’s also worth investing in a bike fitting session to make sure your setup is optimised for comfort and performance.
