What Makes our Perfect First Bike Special?
Lightweight Aluminium Frameset with Carbon Fork: Built to be durable, responsive, and easy to handle, this frame is perfect for new and seasoned riders alike. The carbon fork adds a layer of comfort, absorbing road vibrations so your hands, wrists, and shoulders feel less strain on longer rides.
Low-Profile Aluminium Wheels (30mm): These wheels are ideal for local group rides, weekend adventures, or solo commutes, striking the perfect balance between speed and stability.
Partially Integrated Cable Routing: The traditional two-piece handlebar and head stem combination provide comfort and control. Plus, the cables run through the frame for a sleek, clean look that keeps things tidy.
Tyre Clearance for Versatility: Equipped with 28mm-wide road tyres for grip and comfort. Need more versatility? It’s ready for up to 32mm tyres, perfect for adventure rides or rougher terrain.
Our Recommendation
Paired with SRAM RIVAL AXS eTap Wireless 12-Speed components, at just $3,799.99, you’ll enjoy cutting-edge electronic shifting that’s faster, more reliable, and more responsive than traditional mechanical gearing.
How Does the HR1 Compare?
Many brands offer entry-level bikes at this price point, but our Perfect First Bike stands out in all the right ways:
Electronic Shifting: Equipped with electronic shifting, offering unmatched precision and ease.
Gear Range: A 2x12-speed setup offers better options for climbing and cruising than the typical 2x8-speed on other entry-level bikes.
Lightweight Build: Depending on size, our Perfect first Bike weighs between 8 and 9.5kg, making it lighter than most competitors.
Your Perfect Entry-Level Ride
Whether you’re chasing new adventures, joining group rides, or just getting into cycling, the HR1 takes you from dreaming about the ride to loving every moment of it.
