Best Road Bike for Beginners

At Dublin2Bike and across Ireland we feel that the best road bike for a beginner is usually in and around the Bike to Work Scheme limit of €1,250, if the budget allows we couldn’t recommend anything but the CUBE Attain SLX at €1,500, which offers riders seeking a high-performance road bike that balances speed, comfort, and control.

It is our best selling entry level unisex road bike by a long distance and probably the best selling bike in the shop right now. The value for money from CUBE is unparallelled, for the €1,500 you get a high grade Superlite aluminum frame with composite carbon fork and a full Shimano 105 (2 x 12) compact (11-34) hydraulic disc group set. It is ideal for both competitive cycling and long-distance ride, it is super comfortable, durable, versatile and as I said unmatched in price, the nearest competitor with the same spec is €400 to 500 more expensive. Two colour options which is great aswell. CUBE are a really well established force of a brand within Europe and it’s road bike section bolstered by the success of the Tour de France team and Biniam Girmay announcing them as a force on the road bike world stage.
