3 Carbon Fiber Bikes to Ride Before You Die

The benefits of riding a carbon fiber bike go way beyond the advantages it gives you in competitive sports.  Straddling a piece of finely tuned technology, hurtling down a mountain trail or pumping through a hill section in your latest triathlon, a Carbon Fiber Bike gives you the edge - mentally, physically and helps you turn from being an amateur to a professional.

As with anything, there are products that stand head and shoulders above the rest.  Whether they are vintage models known for their age old reliability or the latest futuristic design and technology, the world of cycling is the same and features some models of bike that MUST be ridden to appreciate them.  Reading the specification on paper is one thing, but riding them is totally different.

1.  Bianchi 928 Carbon K-VID

This bike from the Italian maker, Bianchi oozes speed, sophistication and reliability.  Bianchi have been making bikes for over 100 years and are one of the manufacturers that pro athletes choose.  The 928 Carbon K-VID has won the Tour De France several times and is definitely one to ride in person.  The sleek lines of the Centaur Mix Compact model and it's special ergonomic design make it one of the best bikes on the planet today.  If you had to ride one bike today - make it this one.

2.  TREK Madone

If you want to follow inspirational riders like Lance Armstrong, then owning and riding the TREK Madone is for you. The Madone features unrivaled technology innovations and designs that make it one of the best bikes you can buy. The Madone has also helped win the Tour De France several times in the past and the latest 2009 models are out of this world.  With a unique manufacturing process and the perfect blend of rider comfort and efficiency, you have to ride this bike today!

3.  Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL2 Di2

This is the daddy of all Carbon Fiber Bikes and possibly the most expensive too.  The SL2 DI2 features all of the best components and technology that Specialized make - all pieced together into a lightweight, strong, fast and flashy package.  The Tarmac has proven to be the riders choice of bike when it comes to balancing strength with efficiency and has been the race leader in the Tour De France several times.  With a low air resistance frame, this baby will zip you through the competition to the finish line in double quick time and has a scientifically proven geometry model which means that every push you make is used to the greatest effect.

There are several other manufacturers and models of Carbon Fiber Bike that I could have mentioned here, but these 3 bikes are certainly the best of the bunch.  Coming in at a pretty steep price, they are not for cash short riders, but to just ride each of these bikes will be like a dream come true.
