The best road bikes of 2025

There are many models on the market, and although every cyclist may have their own favorite, here are what we consider to be the best road bikes of 2025, based on their quality, setup, and innovation.

Hit the road on the best bikes of 2025

The standard of road bikes is constantly improving, and there are few brands that do not offer a top-of-the-range model with the ideal characteristics for competing at the highest level.

Parameters such as high torsional rigidity, reasonable shock absorption, streamlined tubes that favor wind penetration, wide wheelbases, and the lowest possible weight are necessary qualities for any top-level bike. In our opinion, these are the models that best combine these capabilities among the offerings available in the current catalogs of the different brands.

Despite having a specifically aerodynamic model in its catalog, Cannondale has not wanted to sacrifice these qualities in its climbing model, which maintains a moderate weight while adding wind resistance benefits. However, the strong point of this SuperSix EVO Lab71 is the fantastic ride quality provided by its SAVE chainstays and seat stays, a technology that Cannondale has been using and refining for years. This Lab71 version also stretches Cannondale's manufacturing capabilities to provide us with the most select frame possible.

This may be one of the most sought-after bikes on the market, if only because of the number of Tarmacs, of all generations, that we see on the roads. Specialized's best-seller reaches its eighth generation with a commitment to lightening the bike as a whole without sacrificing the aerodynamic advantages acquired in the previous generation, saving material where aerodynamic profiles are not as relevant and enhancing these qualities in the front area where they are.

Giant remains faithful to its integrated seatpost in its top-of-the-range model, which has become a true hallmark of the brand.

This improvement has made the Propel less bulky and turned it into an extremely versatile and multipurpose bike.

Cervélo's S line was preceded by the memorable Soloist, a pioneer in aerodynamic road bikes, whose qualities are further developed in the new version, taking advantage of the new UCI regulations. Today, they continue to set the standard with their striking profiles, flawless performance on all terrains, and the characteristic design of their frame with its V-shaped stem to optimally guide airflow in this first area of impact, resulting in a bike that feels fast from the very first pedal stroke.

Colnago Y1Rs

And finally, we couldn't leave out the bike of one of the greatest cyclists of all time: Tadej Pogacar. Although he was reluctant to use the new aerodynamic machine that Colnago had created to give UAE Team Emirates-XRG cyclists that extra edge in competition, in the end, the efficiency of this new machine has prevailed, becoming the Slovenian's everyday bike, even in the grueling mountain stages of the Tour de France.

• Frame: Y1Rs Carbon
