This sleek, speed-hungry machine combines cutting-edge technology with rider-focused design to create a bike that's as exhilarating to ride as it is easy on the eyes. Whether you're chasing personal bests or simply enjoying the freedom of the open road, the Vanquish is your entry into "serious" cycling.

Vanquish the Competition with Carrera's Top-Tier Road Bike

From the moment you swing a leg over the Vanquish, you'll feel the difference. The triple-butted aluminium frame is engineered for the perfect balance of stiffness and compliance, allowing you to transfer your power efficiently while still smoothing out road buzz. 

The Shimano Claris 2x8 drivetrain is the secret weapon in the Vanquish's arsenal. With 16 speeds at your fingertips, you'll always have the perfect gear ratio for any climb or big effort. The compact 50/34t chainset and wide-range 11-28t cassette work together seamlessly, making molehills out of mountains and allowing you to maintain your cadence like a metronome. Shifting is crisp, precise, and reliable, so you can focus on the ride, not looking down crunching your gears.

Confidence-Inspiring Braking: Flat Mount Mechanical Disc Brakes

When it's time to rein in all that speed, the Vanquish has this sorted with flat mount mechanical discs. These powerful stoppers offer progressive, easily-modulated braking in all conditions, from dry summer roads to rain-soaked descents. With disc brakes, you'll enjoy greater control and confidence, allowing you to push your limits and race through technical parcours with ease. Think of them as your dependable co-pilot, always ready to help you navigate the road ahead.

Carrera Vanquish: Your Ticket to Cycling Comfort

We all know that comfort is key to enjoying your rides especially in the downstairs department... which is why the Vanquish comes equipped with a Carrera memory foam saddle. Molding to your unique shape, it provides a custom-fit feel that eliminates pressure points and reduces fatigue. And with a full carbon fork up front to damp road vibration, you'll be able to ride longer and harder than ever before, without having to worry about niggling pains. Just let your legs do the talking.

From the durable double-walled rims to the puncture-resistant 28c tyres, every component of the Vanquish is carefully selected to enhance your riding experience. The Carrera Puncture Protect tyres feature an extra layer of defence against flats, so you can spend more time pedalling and less time patching. And with a lifetime frame guarantee, you can rest assured that your Vanquish will be a solid companion for years to come.

Carrera Vanquish Tech Specs

Reviews:

After putting the Carrera Vanquish through our review process, we can confidently say that this bike is a top performer in its class. The lightweight aluminium frame and carbon fork work together beautifully, providing a ride that's both responsive and comfortable. We are particularly impressed with the Shimano Claris drivetrain, which offered crisp, reliable shifting across a wide range of gears.

Of course, no bike is perfect, and the Vanquish does have a few areas where it could be improved. We would have liked to see internal cable routing for a cleaner look and easier maintenance. And while the Claris drivetrain performed admirably, some riders may prefer the smoother, more precise shifting of higher-end groupsets like Sora or 105, but at this price point Claris is a worthy choice. You'll also want to change the pedals at some point if you're getting into competitive or challenge type rides.

The flat mount disc brakes were another standout feature, providing excellent stopping power and modulation in all conditions. Confident and in control, even on steep descents and technical sections. And thanks to the memory foam saddle and puncture-resistant tyres, we know you'll be able to ride longer and harder without any discomfort or mechanical issues.

Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the Carrera Vanquish and would recommend it to any rider looking for a high-performance road bike that won't break the bank. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the sport, the Vanquish is a bike that will help you get riding in sports type events.
