At the heart of the Planet X London Road is a stunning high quality 6061-T6 alloy frame designed from the ground up for a wide range of riding. A beautiful carbon fork sheds extra weight, keeps steering intuitive and helps soak up unwanted road buzz, too.

Almost every town in Britain has a London Road - hence the name for our 'do-it-all' frame and our London Road is just as at home anywhere in the world! Disc Brake equipped, this bike is one tough cookie and delivers faultless riding in all weather conditions.

Sheffield's London Road is a busy, rough, commuter artery where survival is the name of the game. Designed from the ground up to combat the worst road surfaces, our London Road is ideal for road riding, adventure trails, commuting, and even touring with mudguard and panniers if the fancy takes you.

Featuring a more relaxed geometry (adapted from our legendary RT-58 sportive frame), the usual frontal weight associated with road bikes is actually moved further backward, off your shoulders and wrists, to bring the centre of gravity closer to you. This gives better balance and more controlled handling. Weve also built in clearance for up to 40mm tyres, which provides extra cushioning from the larger air chamber in the tyre. This most natural and pure form of suspension allows you to venture off road, to explore country tracks and gravel paths.

Shed the mudguards, though, and in a flash, you have a frame that's equally at home on the weekend Club run or cyclocross race, as endorsed by our sponsored cyclocross racer, CrossJunkie Alan Dorrington.

Groupset: SRAM Rival 1 HRD, 11-speed groupset features hydraulic disc brakes and a single 1x front chainring set-up offering new performance advancements. SRAM Rival 1 provides the tools and technology to meet any challenge, all with a single X-SYNC chainring, matched to their full dedicated 1x drivetrain. SRAMs 1x systems bring in a new era of riding, providing a simpler, lighter and more durable solution. And thanks to a wide-ratio cassette, you still get the same gear spread as a standard double front ring set-up. 1x groupsets are ideal for adventure cycling due to lower weight, low maintenance, longer profile chainring teeth to prevent chain drop, as well as highly efficient power transfer through the drivetrain. Rival 1 shifting is crisp and accurate and is amazing value for money, especially in comparison to its competitors in the field.

Wheelset: Vision Team 30 Disc Now tubeless ready these are exceptionally solid wheels, perfect for competitive Cross Country, Cyclocross or general road riding. Based on our best selling 700c road wheel they come with an 11 speed capable rear hub so you have maximum options in what rear cassette you chose to run. The freehub is built with a steel body to handle the stresses of hardcore riding. With 4 oversized bearings in each rear hub, 2 in the hub shell and 2 supporting the freehub, it's unlikely that you'll need to take a look inside them any time soon. These amazing parts combine together create an outstanding wheelset, ready to battle any terrain!

Finishing kit: weve capped this bike build off with high quality finishing kit from Italian aces Selcof, plus San Marco and Planet X. With a combined package of this quality, you're getting a truly excellent bike and amazing value for money.
