Verdict: Cheerful-to-ride bike that helps make winter training, commuting or audaxes fun.

The T2 has become a bit of a modern classic, helped by the ride character and the price. To put it simply it's a nice bike to ride. 

If you imagine that a winter road bike is a slow and safe plodder for racking up the miles on crappy roads then you need to have a go on the T2. 

The handling isn't quite race bike razor-sharp, … but it certainly isn't at all bargey and boring in posture and as such it likes to have a little bit of fun. 

If you want to muck about and sprint for signs on the club run the T2 is eager to respond….the Freedom tyres do a great job of cushioning the blows of the worst the tarmac can offer, making long rides perfectly palatable.

To show that there's more to the T2 than the cold and wet it was taken to the Alps for a bit of out of season sunshine….it didn't disgrace itself in performance or against far more exotic cycling competition. Losing a good pound in the wheels and putting faster rubber really lets the T2's fun character shine brighter.

“The ride quality is firm, as you’d expect of an aluminium frame that is built more for durability than high performance. 
It has all the stiffness its target audience would ever need. However, it’s not uncomfortable and has handled 
three and four-hour rides leaving a semi-fit rider feeling as fresh as you’d expect.
The Racelight T2 is a great bike for the money… Because of its racy geometry it is better as a winter training bike than a commuter.
The fast steering thanks to the steep head angle will appeal to racers…. we would recommend it.”
