Moulton Speed
£7500 | moultonbicycles.co.uk
Not all small-wheeled steeds have to fold (or commute) – the Speed is leading the charge to get small bikes big respect. Looking like the love child of a scaffolder and a NASA engineer, this British-designed-and-made bike is aimed at long-distance cyclo-sportive riders. Compact 20-inch wheels and a low-slung frame keep wind resistance low, and allow for closer drafting of others, while TARDIS-like feature-cramming leaves room for suspension at both ends of its sub-9kg build.
