10 Best Road Bikes For Serious Cyclists

With the Cervelo R3, you get the same frame ridden by Team Garmin-Sharp Barracuda in the Tour de France, but at a significant price drop. The R3 bears Shimano 105 components and implements Cervelo’s Smartwall technology to redistribute material around the frame for greater rigidity without adding weight—great for sprinters. Squoval tube shapes—a blend of square and oval--further boosts the frame’s strength. Prepare for acceleration. ($2,600, cervelo.com)
