Carbon fiber road
bikes are the choice of most cyclists and that’s because they are strong, while
being incredibly light (some weigh less than 2.5 lbs).These bikes are comfortable
to ride due to carbon fiber's shock-absorbency. There are claims that carbon
fiber has the strongest strength-to-weight ratio of all bike frame materials
and its damping properties make it even more ideal as a frame material. Carbon fiber frames have been favored by Five
time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and three-time Tour de France winner
Greg Lemond. Most leading bike manufacturers produce carbon fiber road bikes, including Kestrel, Trek, Calfee, Cervelo, Orbea, Bianchi, Giant, Merlin, Felt, Pinarello, Rossetti, Scott and Cannondale.
