  • WHAT IS A FLAT BAR BIKE?

    WHAT IS A FLAT BAR BIKE?

    A flat bar bike uses a straight handlebar for a more upright position and direct steering feel. It’s ideal for city commutes, fitness rides and riders who want road speed with off road control.

    • Confident handling in traffic and on paths
    • Upright position for comfort and visibility
    • Year round practicality with mounts for mudguards and racks
    • Easy to manoeuvre through busy streets
  • HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST FLAT BAR BIKE

    HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST FLAT BAR BIKE

    Not sure which flat bar bike is right for you? Use the points below to match a build to your routes, pace and practical needs.

    • Tyres: wider for comfort and grip, narrower for speed
    • Frame material: alloy for value and toughness, carbon for lighter weight and titanium ride quality
    • Practicality: check for full length mudguard and rack mounts if you commute or tour
  • TECH & DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

      WHAT IS SPORTFIT? AND WHO IS IT MADE FOR?
