Winter Bikes: Our Top Picks
Winter Bikes: Our Top Picks
Don’t let the moody weather forecasts stop you from getting out there on your bike – winter rides can be some of the most rewarding of the year! As we head into the pointy end of the year, it's all about preparation. Having the right bike and gear can really boost your experience, letting you enjoy cycling in any weather.
Winter bikes come in all shapes and sizes, but with so many options out there, which one should you choose? We’ve compiled a list of our top winter bike picks that are perfect for even the wildest of UK winters.
Trek Domane
Born on the Belgian cobbles and with impressive palmares thanks to the likes of Fabian Cancellara and Lizzie Diegnan, whether you’re racing or riding a double-century, the Domane is one of the most versatile road bikes out there. The carbon-framed SL/SLR features Trek’s tried-and-tested IsoSpeed decoupler, smoothing out any lumps and bumps in the road. It’s no slouch either, thanks to the aero-optimised tubing. The aluminium AL is the perfect workhorse winter bike with its wide tyre clearance and unrivalled value-for-money.

Trek Checkpoint
Steady winter miles aren’t all about speed and performance. Perhaps slightly controversial, but this highly capable gravel bike is also an excellent option as a winter all-rounder. With wider tyres, a broader range of gears and relaxed geometry, broken roads are no match for the Checkpoint – it sounds like a recipe for the perfect winter bike. Fancy venturing onto the rough stuff in between road miles? That’s what this bike was made for.

Cannondale Synapse
The Synapse is one of the most popular winter bikes out there, particularly for its class-leading comfort, and the Synapse Crb takes things up a notch. Complete with Cannondale’s SmartSense technology with integrated lights both front and rear, ambient light sensors automatically toggle and adjust in different lighting conditions – ideal for dark wintery rides.
£3200.00 £2399.00
£4000.00 £2999.00
Specialized Roubaix
Named after one of the most rugged road races of the year, the Specialized Roubaix was born for winter riding. Boasting Future Shock technology for a smooth ride on rough roads, its endurance geometry and wide tire clearance ensure stability, control, and comfort – ideal for navigating long winter rides on broken roads.
£5500.00 £4999.00
Specialized Allez Sport
For a fast and reliable road bike that won’t cost the earth, the Allez is an excellent choice. Equipped with robust, cost-effective and easily replaceable parts, as well as offering plenty of performance, it’s a firm favourite for many winter riders.
