Test 2017: Marathon bikes up to 2000 euros
Riding through mountain passes can be an exhilarating experience if the bike is light, stable and safe. And with the right gearing. We tested five marathon racers under 2,000 euros.
Above all, a road bike for the mountains needs the right gearing. A compact crank with 50/34 teeth and a sprocket set of 11-32 helps many cyclists over many mountains, but not all of them over all of them. If correctly dimensioned, disc brakes give pass enthusiasts added safety and riding enjoyment on long, fast descents and especially in bad weather
