Video: Six of the best disc brake road bikes 2018 from Bianchi, De Rosa, Colnago, Scott, Wilier and Ridley
Disc brakes are all the rage in the road cycling world at the moment, and it wasn't hard to spot six new disc-equipped road bikes at the recent Eurobike bike show. The six bikes here - from Bianchi, Wilier, De Rosa, Colnago, Ridley and Colnago - are the newest bikes to be launched and represent the pinnacle of road bike technology
It's hard to ignore the rise of disc brakes and whether you like them or not, discs are here to stay Fear not, most of these bikes are still available without disc brakes, but if you want a fast road bike with great brakes, these might just make it onto your shortlist.
- Everything you need to know about disc brakes
Let us know which one tickles your fancy in the comments below.
David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.
