The difference between urban bicycles and road bicycles

Jul 18, 2025
1. Weight. Road bikes are mostly made of aluminium, carbon fiber or special metal tubes with lightweight drawstrings, and they are relatively light in weight (most bikes weigh 6 to 10 kilograms). Urban automobiles are generally made of high-carbon steel or chromium-molybdenum steel and are not suitable for pipes. They should also be relatively heavy.
2. Part specifications. The component specifications of general urban bicycles are relatively low-end, while those of road bicycles are more standardized, including material diameter, design, etc. The guiding ideology is lightweight and aerodynamic. In terms of kits, urban bicycles are of relatively lower grades, such as civilian or entry-level entertainment, while road bicycles are mainly of intermediate and professional entertainment grades.
3. Riding experience: Road bikes are designed for racing, with more aggressive riding postures. City bikes are more comfortable and capable. The seat is low and the faucet is high.
4. There are significant differences in the strength of the wheelsets. Urban cars generally do not use knife wheels but single wheels.
5. Price. Urban bicycles are often of good quality and low price, but road bicycles have diverse functions, so they are much more expensive.
