WHAT ARE AERO ROAD BIKES?
Aero road bikes are specifically engineered to maximise speed on paved surfaces by reducing aerodynamic drag. At Dolan Bikes, our aero-focused models are crafted to help riders cut through the wind efficiently, whether racing, training, or pushing for personal bests.
Unlike traditional road bikes, aero road bikes use aerodynamic tube shapes, integrated cabling, and wind-tunnel-inspired designs to deliver top-tier performance. They typically feature deep-section wheels, aggressive riding geometry, and drop handlebars that allow the rider to maintain a streamlined position for sustained high-speed riding. Narrow, high-pressure tyres further reduce rolling resistance and improve overall efficiency.
Do you sell aero carbon road bikes at Dolan?
Yes. Our range includes several aero carbon road bikes built with lightweight, stiff frames that optimise power transfer and speed. Starting at £2,499.99, they are ideal for competitive racing, fast group rides, and speed-oriented training.
What other frame materials do you offer?
Alongside carbon aero models, Dolan Bikes also provides titanium and aluminium options across our wider road range—each known for durability and value, with prices starting at £1,799.99.
What size aero road bike do I need?
Sizing depends on your height, proportions, and the specific bike model’s geometry. Each Dolan bike includes a detailed size guide to help you find your optimal fit, ensuring comfort and aerodynamic efficiency.
How fast are aero road bikes?
Aero road bikes are built for speed. While typical road cycling averages range from 14–18 mph, aero bikes help riders maintain higher speeds by reducing wind resistance.
How do you change gears on an aero road bike?
Most aero models use integrated shifters within the brake levers. Simply push the lever sideways until you feel or hear a click—allowing smooth, quick gear changes even at high speeds.
TYPES OF AERO ROAD BIKES
Although “aero” refers to a performance-focused category, these bikes can still vary in design:
Pure Aero Race Bikes – aggressive geometry, deep tube profiles, and integrated components for maximum speed
Aero Endurance Bikes – blend aerodynamic efficiency with a slightly more relaxed fit
Aero Disc-Brake Bikes – combine powerful braking with aero frames for better control
HOW MUCH ARE AERO ROAD BIKES?
Aero bikes sit at the performance end of the road bike spectrum.
Carbon aero bikes typically start from around £1,400
High-end, fully customised aero builds can range up to £7,000+
