A racing bike (also called a road bike) is a type of bicycle designed for speed and efficiency on paved roads. It’s the kind of cycle you see in races like the Tour de France or used by enthusiasts who want to ride fast over long distances.

Here are the key features of a racing bike:

🚲 Lightweight frame – usually made of aluminum, carbon fiber, or titanium to reduce weight.
🚲 Drop handlebars – curved bars that allow the rider to lean forward for an aerodynamic position.
🚲 Thin, high-pressure tires – to reduce rolling resistance and increase speed.
🚲 Narrow saddle – designed for efficiency and long rides, though not as cushioned as casual bikes.
🚲 Multiple gears – to handle hills and flats efficiently.

Racing bikes are great for:
✅ Road racing
✅ Long-distance rides on smooth roads
✅ Fitness and endurance training
