Road bike
Carbon frame or aluminum frame, lightweight and fast bicycle wheels, and a thousand other components make the road bike the perfect companion for kilometers. Two fundamental elements are low weight and aerodynamics, which allow achieving and maintaining high speeds.
Would you like help to consider also purchasing a pedal-assist bicycle?! Consult our electric bicycles section.
If instead you wish to customize the bicycle with the setup you desire, Cicli Mattio offers top-tier frames that are truly super!
Finally, if you want to start exploring this world without spending too much, take a look at our section grouping used bikes... you might find your first road bike.

The road bicycle is a model suited for sporting, often competitive, use rather than urban use. Various elements enable the cyclist to assume an aerodynamic position, such as the handlebar, which is curved to make the cyclist lean forward and minimize air resistance to maintain speed.
What is a road bike?
By definition, the road bicycle was born for competitions. Its shape and technical characteristics indeed make it a bicycle ideal for riding on smooth asphalt and achieving high speeds... for racing, of course!
What characterizes it? It is lightweight, has thin tires, the classic handlebar with "drops," and a riding posture that is "forward-leaning."
How to choose the first men's and women's road bike.
Choosing your first road bike depends primarily on your budget and intended use: components, wheels, and frame geometry have a significant impact on the final price, while models designed for men and women differ in sizes and proportions. If you want guidance on more accessible models for beginners, discover our selection of entry level road bikes.
How to calculate the size of a road bike?
It is essential to seek assistance from one of our sales staff, and in the case of purchasing a used bicycle, to exercise patience before finding the right one. The size is determined by the cyclist's height and varies depending on the model and the geometry of the frame.
Which type of road bike should I buy?
Road bikes can have infinite combinations and features, so no, they are not all the same.
Perhaps a few years ago, road bikes all had the same characteristics: drop handlebars, 23" tires, and more recently, disc brakes and carbon frames. But in reality, the variety of options available to choose from is determined by many factors such as components, materials, technologies, different brands and models, components, and much more!
Moreover, road bikes are distinguished as "race," "aero," and "endurance": the former require a lower and more aerodynamic rider position and have a more aggressive geometry to offer greater handling and aerodynamics. The so-called "endurance" bikes, on the other hand, are intended for long distances; they allow the rider to maintain a more upright and comfortable position, and the frame geometry offers better stability.
What are the best brands of road and racing bicycles?
At Cycles Mattio you can find the top brands of road sport bicycles, which in turn offer a wide catalog of models that differ in features and specifications.
Included in our offering are the brands Pinarello, Bianchi, Wilier Triestina, BMC, Trek, Cannondale, Argon18, Cipollini, Officine Mattio, Focus, Guerciotti.
