The bike for when you're ready to ride more.
The Perfect First Bike is designed for the rider who's discovered just how much they love cycling.
Maybe you've outgrown your first road bike. Maybe you're riding every weekend, joining bunch rides, tackling longer climbs or simply want a bike that feels effortless every time you head out the door.
Where our Perfect Start opens the door to road cycling, the Perfect First Bike gives you the confidence to keep saying yes to bigger rides, bigger goals and bigger adventures.
Built around the same philosophy that defines every Hosking Bike, it combines quality components, thoughtful design and an exceptional fit to create a bike that's enjoyable to ride from day one, and for years to come.
What makes the Perfect First Bike different?
Lightweight aluminium frame with a carbon fork
A lightweight aluminium frame designed by Chloe Hosking, the bike delivers responsive handling without compromising durability, while the carbon fork helps absorb road vibration for a smoother, more comfortable ride. Less fatigue means you can stay out longer and enjoy every kilometre.
SRAM Rival AXS electronic shifting
The standout feature of the Perfect First Bike is its SRAM Rival AXS wireless electronic groupset.
With fast, precise electronic shifting at the touch of a button, every gear change is smooth and effortless. Whether you're climbing, sprinting or rolling through changing terrain, the bike responds instantly so you can focus on the ride, not your gears.
Built for real-world riding
28mm aluminium wheels offer the perfect balance of stability, comfort and performance, while internally routed cables create a clean, streamlined finish.
With clearance for up to 35mm tires, the Perfect First Bike is equally at home on smooth roads, country lanes or light gravel adventures.
Why choose the Perfect First Bike?
The difference isn't just the components, it's the experience.
Compared with many bikes at a similar price point, the Perfect First Bike offers:
- Wireless electronic shifting with SRAM Rival AXS
- A wider 2x12-speed gear range to make climbing easier and fast riding more enjoyable
- A lightweight build between approximately 8–9.3kg (depending on frame size)
- A rider-first fit philosophy, with sizing designed to suit more riders, not just the industry average
Built to keep you riding
At Hosking Bikes, we don't believe cycling should feel intimidating.
We believe the right bike should give you confidence, encourage you to ride more often and make every ride something you look forward to.
The Perfect First Bike is for the rider who's ready to take that next step, and wants a bike that will grow with them for many years to come.
Let customers speak for us
Absolutely love these glasses - the quality is unreal and they look fantastic. Highly recommended
I've been riding in HOSKING sunnies for several months now and couldn't be happier. They're lightweight, comfortable for long rides, and stay secure even on rough roads. Also great for running and walking. The lenses provide excellent clarity, while the fit is comfortable enough to wear all day. Highly recommended.
Extremely reasonable price for a superlative product . Delivery and service the same
Ooh la la!! These are fabulous. Look as if you're an AI generated cyclist while seeing the real world clearly (without squinting) from the other side. Great.
Fantastic product and initiative by Chloe and Jack, we must all support helping an Aussie Brand and getting more females into cycling !
I was fortunate enough to trial a Hosking bike down at the TDU 2026. I've been riding for years but it was so easy to adapt to this bike. The sturdiness and comfort were great and I felt extremely comfortable hitting high speeds down the hills and around the corners. I would highly recommend a Hosking bike whether it's your first or next!
I took this bike out for a test ride during Tour Down Under and loved it - it floats on the tarmac! Super smooth handling on descents: the bike goes where it needs to with little steering, holds speed easily on the flats, and has geometry that actually fits my body. This would be an excellent bike for all levels of racing.
Absolutely loving my new Hosking Road Pro! The specs on this bike are amazing for the price. The wireless SRAM RIVAL AXS shifting is a game-changer, so smooth and responsive. The frame is lightweight, and the disc brakes give you total confidence. Great to see such high-quality engineering from an Australian-owned company. 10/10!
Not only is the bike very sleek and stylish, it runs like the name - a Dream. The SRAM electronic gearing is smooth and seamless. The bike is light and responsive. I have done my first 100 km on it and very happy with the handling. I am also 186 cm tall and was initially worried about sizing. However, Jack from Hosking bikes was very responsive and fit is great. This is a fabulous bike at a fantastic price point.
The Crit Dream Pro is everything I want in a bike - fast, responsive, and built with real rider insight. Hosking Bikes is Australian, female-founded and genuinely committed to the cycling community, and it shows in both the product and their outstanding customer service. Proud to support a local brand delivering world-class bikes.
I have fallen in love with cycling thanks to this bike. Love the design, the colour and the way it moves. It's taken this segment of my triathlon training to a much more positive experience. 💕💕💕🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️
We recently purchased a road bike from Hosking Bikes, a small locally based business in Canberra, and it has exceeded every expectation. The colour is absolutely brilliant, the components are top-tier, and the racing handlebars feel perfect. The ride is smooth, fast, and unbelievably comfortable.
Being able to customise the componentry to suit our exact needs was a real standout, and the overall quality is truly world-class. Even better, the bike is competitively priced, offering exceptional value for such excellent craftsmanship. The customer service both before & after purchase, plus the attention to detail was unsurpassed.
I highly recommend Hosking Bikes to anyone thinking about purchasing a bike. Top product and fantastic people - support this local Canberra business!
Love this frame. Super stiff. Decently aero. Big tire clearance.
Terrific bike! Light, fast, responsive and gorgeous! Dream is a good name for this excellent bike.
