15 Best road bikes under £1500 - 2021 Buyers Guide - REAL Athletes

One tried and tested method for a new bike is the bike to work scheme that we have previously written about in our blog. With a ceiling spend of £1000 it opens up doors to some nice kit with carbon fibre frames & quality groupsets but still needs a careful eye on the numbers to get some serious bang for your buck. Below is a list of the best bikes from £1000 to £1500 for those looking to spend a bit more and get a long time cycling partner. Our selection of 15 of the best road bikes for under £1500 helps you compare the best currently available and where to find stock. This post was originally published in 2020 but updated for 2021. Using our supplier network and panel of over 100 cyclists we have pulled this list together to help you Go Faster and Spend Smarter.

What to expect from a £1500 road bike

A £1500 road bike used to be a guarantee for carbon fibre and most likely a Shimano 105 Groupset. With shifts in supply and the prices of components following the pandemic that is no longer the case. In our list an aluminium frame is much more common as is a Shimano Tiagra groupset.

That doesn’t mean you won’t find quality and lightweight fast bikes here. Some of these are weighing less than 8kg and will be perfect for Sportive or Triathlon racing.

Trivelo – Best Buy Award

Best price we can find this at currently is £1199 direct from Ribble. Ribble don’t use any other distributors with prices on a direct from supplier basis.

Online merchant Ribble have once more delivered a beautiful road bike. The R872 is the evolution of the classic Gran Fondo that has for many years been hugely popular. An carbon frame with good looks is great and impressive to see the carbon frames still not dropped at this price point by Ribble. Common to all Ribble bikes it has a build to your own spec approach this again is a great option in this price range. While we would love the money to stretch to the Ultegra groupset realistically building up an R872 with 105 is money well spent. By building your bike with Shimano 105 and you will have a lightweight, fast and good looking bike that offers real value for money. Big fans and our best buy in this bike category.

Latest 2021 range of bikes with full Shimano 105 Groupset at only £1100 from Halfords

Possibly still subject to some badge snobbery. The Boardman range continues to go from strength to strength and this is certainly a quality machine and offers good value for the money. Quite an aggressive design but paired with disc brakes as an option this is well worth a look. The bikes are easily tracked down at your local Halfords or Cycle Republic without having to look too hard. Basic models with Shimano Tiagra but also possible to get a well priced carbon framed bike and Shimano 105 Groupset. A lot of bike for the money. We have had some reports that the seat stem can cause some problems and subject to slipping. Worth checking out if considering buying one. Especially relevant if you are looking at the bigger framed bikes and a taller rider.

Cannondale Synapse 105 Disc 2021

Review Scores Compared:

Bike Radar = 4 / 5

Best price we can find this at currently is £1199.99 from Leisure Lake Bikes

No carbon frame here as Cannondale continues to mature its aluminium frame design to reduce weight and improve stiffness. This well designed frame is finished with a full Shimano 105 groupset and carbon forks. With Mavic wheels as well you could ride this one straight out of the shop without any urgency to consider upgrades. This is the best road bike for beginners with a relaxed Sportive frame that should feel comfortable, reliable Shimano 105 Groupset that means no need to upgrade components and strong resale values if you get the bug and want to trade up.

Specialized Allez E5 Elite 2021

Review Scores Compared:

Bike Radar = 4.5 / 5

Best price we can find this at currently is £1249 at Leisure Lake Bikes. They have limited availability and selling out fast. We’ve been trying to get our supplier network to find more of these but they are hugely popular.

No list would be complete without a Specialized in it as they seem to have a model at almost every price point and bike type. The range of colours continues to evolve ditching the very conservative whites and reds of 5 years ago for more bold offerings. While no s-works this is a high quality machine and you can trust that it will be built to a quality finish and you are unlikely to be disappointed. We’re not big Specialized lovers at Trivelo with just too many of them on the roads but this is a nice bike, maybe lacking a little soul?

Specialized have been crippled by COVID in terms of supply so there are limited numbers of these bikes available for sale.

Best price we can find this at currently is £1349 from Canyon contact us for latest discount codes to get money off

German engineering is vomited all over the Canyon and have updated their line for 2021 with this new model. Getting this in a sale might be more of a challenge as they operate a direct online business model. In spite using an Aluminium frame this is no heavyweight. Weighing only 8.5kg this is a very light bike. It comes fully specced with Shimano 105 groupset and Fulcrum wheels. Looks and feels the business. We like.

Best price we can find this at currently is £1375 from Tredz contact us for latest discount codes to get money off

If a badge is important to you on those chain gang rides and you want to be holding your head high in the car park you can’t argue with the Bianchi. The frame here is an endurance sportive geometry more upright than the Boardman listed above. Shimano 105 groupset coupled with a very effective frame suited as an endurance road bike. A few other corners cut to make the price point but a beautiful looking machine as you would expect from such a well respected name. We had to include it in our list!

Review Scores Compared:

Cyclist = 4 / 5

Best price we can find this at currently is £999 for from Wiggle. We have the latest deals with Wiggle as well as other brands so contact us for the latest codes.

With an aluminium frame and all round tyres you could argue this Cube bike is more of a gravel bike. We all need another excuse to get another bike after all and if we don’t have a gravel bike sounds a good reason to get one! Boasting Shimano’s latest GRX groupset you can be the envy of the Sunday morning ride with the first with kit. Disc brakes and a very robust build make this a potential all year round bike option.

Fuji Sportif 1.3 Disc Road Bike 2021

Review Scores Compared:

Bike Radar = 4 / 5

Best price we can find this at currently is £1349.99 from Wiggle – currently showing good stock levels in most sizes.

Fuji rocking a tried and tested formula with alloy frame and carbon forks although at the top end of our budget shame not to see carbon. Thankfully with Shimano 105 groupset on offer the Fuji recovers some ground in this highly competitive market. Finishing kit on the Fuji not bad and the bike is certainly no ugly duckling. Built for Sportive’s as an endurance bike with Disc brakes and 30c tyres this is a solid bet for any rider.

Groupset – Shimano 105 R7000

Review Scores Compared:

Cycling Weekly 4/5 Bike Radar = 4.5 / 5

Best price we can find this at currently is £1499 from Wiggle – currently showing good stock levels in most sizes.

Vitus have smashed out this latest 2021 model with a supremely lightweight road bike. Weighing only 8.96kg this isn’t the lightest road bike here but well placed for anyone who is watching the scales. Full carbon frame at this price was standard a few years ago but now is a rarity and Vitus achieve this with a near aero style frame. Dripping top to toe with Shimano no corners have been cut including full Shimano brake set.

Review Scores Compared:

Cycling Weekly n/a Bike Radar = n/a

Best price we can find this at currently is £1349 from Leisure Lake Bikes – we had to hunt hard to find availability anywhere for these

Available in speed silver or the more rare military green comes the Orbea Avant H40-D. Perfectly mid priced in our round up of the 15 best road bikes under £1500. Lovely looking but compared to others in our line up somewhat underspecced road bike. Aluminium frame coupled with Shimano Tiagra Groupset and Tektro brakes isn’t going to be lighting many fires. Expect to want to make some upgrades in the first year if you go for this one.

This is their aluminium framed version of what is essentially a soft gravel bike sitting somewhere between road and gravel.
