• Triban · endurance Unverified

  RC520 Disc

  The bike almost everyone should start on. Full 105, mounts for everything, and it costs less than a set of good wheels.

  £900 10.5kg · comfort 70 · speed 24

• Boardman · endurance Unverified

  SLR 8.9 Disc

  The value benchmark under £1,200 and easy to find in stock. Heavy wheels are the obvious first upgrade.

  £1,100 10.2kg · comfort 52 · speed 36

• Canyon · endurance ✓ Checked

  Endurace 7 RAW

  Full 12-speed 105 on an alloy frame for well under £1,200. The cheapest bike here that gives up nothing important.

  £1,129 9.9kg · comfort 70 · speed 31

• Vitus · endurance Unverified

  Zenium CRS 105

  The cheapest carbon 105 bike worth buying. Frequently discounted further, which makes it hard to argue with.

• Ribble · gravel Unverified

  Gravel AL Comp

  A cheap way to find out whether you actually want a gravel bike, without wasting money if you do.

  £1,599 9.6kg · comfort 64 · speed 42

• Trek · endurance ✓ Checked

  Domane AL 5 Gen 4

  Alloy, full 105, mudguard and rack mounts. The sensible one-bike answer if it has to commute as well as ride.

  £1,600 9.8kg · comfort 74 · speed 29

• Genesis · allroad Unverified

  Croix de Fer 20

  Steel, mounts everywhere, and gearing low enough for a loaded climb. Slow on paper, loved by everyone who owns one.

  £1,600 11.4kg · comfort 89 · speed 9

• Cube · endurance Unverified

  Attain GTC SLT

  Quietly one of the cheapest ways into a full-carbon 105 endurance bike from a brand with UK dealers.

  £1,749 9.2kg · comfort 63 · speed 45

• Canyon · gravel Unverified

  Grail 7

  Carbon gravel at an alloy price. Quick enough on tarmac that it can be your only bike.

  £1,849 9.8kg · comfort 89 · speed 18

• Merida · endurance Unverified

  Scultura Endurance 4000

  Consistently underrated. Same factory quality as bigger names, usually a few hundred pounds less.

• Ribble · endurance Unverified

  Endurance SL Disc 105

  British direct-sales carbon that undercuts the big brands, with a custom build tool if you want to change the spec.

  £2,199 8.4kg · comfort 62 · speed 57

• Van Rysel · endurance Unverified

  EDR CF 105 Di2

  Decathlon's road brand, and the value story of the last few years. Carbon and Di2 for the price of alloy elsewhere.

  £2,199 8.4kg · comfort 49 · speed 63

• Giant · race Unverified

  TCR Advanced 2 Disc

  The archetypal do-everything race bike. Stiff, light, and it has outlived every trend since 1997.

  £2,299 8.1kg · comfort 40 · speed 72

• Canyon · race Unverified

  Ultimate CF SL 7

  A proper lightweight climbing bike at a price that used to buy alloy. Aggressive — you need the flexibility for it.

  £2,449 7.6kg · comfort 38 · speed 79

• Specialized · race Unverified

  Allez Sprint Comp

  Aluminium built like a crit bike. Brutally stiff and brilliant fun, but it is not a long-distance comfort machine.

  £2,500 8.9kg · comfort 31 · speed 66

• Cannondale · endurance Unverified

  Synapse Carbon 3 L

  The most upright position here, with integrated lights and a genuine all-day remit. Heavy, but very hard to fall out with.

  £2,700 9.1kg · comfort 82 · speed 36

• Specialized · endurance Unverified

  Roubaix SL8 Sport 105

  Front suspension in all but name. The Future Shock genuinely works on broken British roads, and you pay for it.

  £2,900 8.9kg · comfort 74 · speed 43

• Fairlight · endurance Unverified

  Strael 4.0 105 Di2

  British steel with proportional sizing — two heights per size. The keep-forever option if weight is not your priority.

  £2,995 9.6kg · comfort 73 · speed 37

• Cervélo · allroad Unverified

  Caledonia 105

  A race bike that happens to take 34mm tyres. The pick if you want endurance capability without an endurance riding position.

  £3,299 8.5kg · comfort 53 · speed 60
