Canyon Bicycles has launched the revamped Roadlite flat bar road bike, built on all aluminium frame, with the increased accessibility of flat handlebars, that the company says makes this the ideal bike for “a day-to-day ride or a new way to explore at the weekend.”
The Roadlite name used to be found on an aluminium-framed drop bar road bike in the Canyon range a few years ago, but it’s now repositioned as a fitness bike in the company’s growing range, or what we would normally call a hybrid bike.

We can definitely see the Roadlite appealing to people that might be keen to get into road cycling but are put off by the drop handlebars, and it would make an ideal commuting bike with the easier control the flat bars provide when weaving through traffic.
“Whether you cycle as part of your fitness regime or just enjoy a weekend ride in your local park, it’s important that the bike you use gives a superb ride with comfort and control. Our new Roadlite range combines our industry leading technology knowledge with our renowned design credentials to produce the very best all-rounder bikes at a great price,” says Canyon’s Nick Allen.
There are three models of this updated range of aluminium frame bikes, the 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0, costing £649, £799 and £1,049 respectively, with women-specific models also available. Each is based around an aluminium frame, carbon fibre fork and equipped with Shimano gears and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Pedals are included.
