The best endurance road bikes will help you cover long distances and ride in comfort across a variety of terrain.<\/p>\n

As a result, an endurance road bike is a great choice for riders who prefer a slightly more relaxed riding position<\/a> than an out-and-out race bike.<\/p>\n

Choosing the best road bike<\/a> for your needs needn\u2019t be a compromise, however, and the latest endurance bikes are faster and more versatile than ever.<\/p>\n

Many of the newest models feature aerodynamic frame details, clearance for wide tyres (often up to 35mm), road disc brakes<\/a> and generous gearing for climbing, making endurance road bikes suitable for a wide range of riding.<\/p>\n

Thanks to their focus on comfort and ability to cover great distances with relative ease, endurance road bikes are also referred to as sportive bikes.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to cycling, a sportive<\/a> is an ideal way to challenge yourself, ride new terrain and meet other riders. In exchange for your entry fee, you\u2019ll get signposted routes, feed stations and facilities at the start and end of the ride.<\/p>\n

These are the best endurance road bikes reviewed by BikeRadar. Keep reading until the end for our full buyer\u2019s guide<\/a> and tips on what to look out for in an endurance bike.<\/p>\n
