WHAT IS SPORTFIT?
SPORTFIT takes best-selling platforms and transforms then into flat bar bikes.
You get the same performance frames and all surface capability, with a more upright position for added confidence and control. Going beyond what you can expect from a traditional hybrid, bringing a set-up that is right for you to everyday riding.
Greater stability and control on mixed terrain, without losing the DNA, tyre clearance and mounts you’d find on our drop bar versions.
WHO IS SPORTFIT FOR?
Every road bike frame starts with one goal: turn power into smooth, efficient motion. Our engineers refine geometry, materials and integration to balance comfort, stiffness and weight.
- Leisure riders who value comfort and confidence to explore trails and countryside.
- All riders who want electric assist to go further, longer and to fall back in love with cycling.
- Commuters who want more confidence and control, with practical mounts for racks and mudguards.
- Gravel explorers taking on mixed lanes, towpaths and bridleways at their own pace.
- Fitness riders building miles without chasing numbers, looking for an easy to live with setup that keeps rides enjoyable.
SPORTFIT VS DROP BAR COMPARISON
SPORTFIT
- Flat bar, upright position for visibility and confidence in traffic and on rougher lanes.
- Extra stability and easy low speed control on mixed surfaces.
- Same frames, tyre clearance and mounts as drop bar counterparts, so you keep the versatility.
Drop bar
- Lower, more aerodynamic position that can feel faster on the road.
- Multiple hand positions for long days and varied terrain.
- Preferred by riders who prioritise speed, efficiency and classic road feel.
Suspension Fork Upgrade
Adding suspension forks to your SportFit bike can further enhance comfort and control when riding.
They help reduce fatigue in the arms and shoulders - absorbing bumps and vibrations whether you're on a gravel path or a potholed road.
SPORTFIT Bike Guides
WHAT IS SPORTFIT? AND WHO IS IT MADE FOR?
Not every rider wants to be locked into the aggressive position of drop bars. Some prefer the confidence and control of a flat-bar setup, without sacrificing the performance and versatility of a high-quality frame.
