If you’re looking to dip your toes into the world of road riding for the first time, and especially if your employer is registered with a Cycle to Work scheme in the UK, the Merlin PR7 Sora, which Merlin describes as a “simple, reliable road bike”, looks like it could be a great place to start.. .
Lovely fast-riding road bike with a good groupset
Modest tyres and the cassette is very aggressive
