Six of the best Endurance bikes - Churn out the miles in comfort
Are you in the market for a road bike that will provide comfort for those longer rides you've got planned in 2018? What you need is an endurance bike, and the market is awash with choice. To help you narrow down that choice, we've picked six of the best endurance bikes we've tested here at road.cc.
These are bikes that will provide a smoother ride on rough roads thanks to cleverly designed frames and wider tyres. Gearing is optimised for hillier terrain as well. Disc brakes are common on endurance bikes but some of the bikes here either the choice of rim or disc brakes, though we're increasingly seeing a trend towards disc brakes only.
Anyway, that's enough of an intro, hit play on the video to learn more about the six bikes we've featured.

Cube Attain GTC Pro Disc Road Bike 2017
David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.
