Track Bikes

Track bikes are built specifically for fixed-gear riding, meaning there is no freewheel and no gears to shift. Your legs remain constantly connected to the drivetrain, which maximises power transfer and efficiency on smooth velodrome surfaces.

Track bikes are optimised for controlled velodrome environments and perform best on smooth, closed surfaces. While some riders do use them on roads, the fixed-gear setup and lack of multiple gears means they are not ideally suited for varied terrain or traffic conditions.

Frame stiffness is one of the most important factors, as a stiffer frame translates more of your pedalling power directly into speed. Look for materials and geometry designed specifically for track use, as these will give you the best performance during racing or structured training sessions.

Track bikes suit a range of riders, from those new to velodrome riding through to experienced competitors. If you are new to fixed-gear riding, allow some time to adjust to the lack of a freewheel before pushing into high-speed sessions.

Sizing and fit are just as important on a track bike as any other performance bike. Getting the right frame size ensures efficient power delivery and reduces the risk of discomfort or injury during intense training or racing efforts. We recommend you head into one of our stores for a free professional bike fit, or try out our online sizing tool.

Track bikes are ideal for velodrome racing, structured track training, and high-speed fitness sessions where consistent effort and power output are the focus. If your goals involve varied terrain, climbing, or long-distance road riding, a different road bike category would likely be a better fit.

Finding the right bike size can feel tricky, as different bike types have slightly different geometries. To make it easier, we’ve created a Find Your Size tool. Simply enter your height and inseam measurements (or those of the person you’re shopping for), and we’ll recommend the best size for each bike and pre-select the recommended option for you.

Not sure of your inseam measurement? No worries! We provide an estimated inseam measurement based on your height to help keep your recommendation as accurate as possible.

You can find the tool on each product page or at the top of categories when browsing. Try Find Your Size.
