Good looks. Tick. Lightweight and responsive frame. Tick. No-nonsense Shimano components. Tick. Uphill blasting gear ratio. Tick. Value for money. Tick.

If you’re looking for a next-step-up road bike for all-day cycling or your first rung on the racing ladder then the Fuji Team Pro 1.0 womens road bike offers tick after tick on a checklist of must-have components and features.

So let’s take a look at what you get with the Fuji Team Pro 1.0. To start with, the design conscious creators have taken the highly acclaimed Roubaix custom-butted alloy frame. Nice!

Next they’ve added carbon legged forks. Bonus!

Then they have cleverly integrated Shimano’s latest kick-ass-for-less 105 components.
If you don’t already know the 105 is Shimano’s new mid-level road groupset that is aimed at riders looking for all the technological features of Dura-Ace and Ultegra but at a more reasonable price.
Then the Fuji designers have fitted responsive Tektro R540 front and back brakes.

And finally they have topped the lot with a quality compact chainset and cassette for a gear range that will give you the confidence and supreme pedal power to take on the longest of ascents.

The result is a Fuji Team 1.0 road bike that will have you smiling whatever the terrain and distance.

Whether you’re planning on taking part in a long-distance cycle sportive, an attempt of the famous Land’s End to John O’Groats cycling epic or a trip to try a few of the Tour de France cols, you can bet the Fuji Team Pro 1.0 Road will do everything you hoped for – and a little more!

For a serious, quality-spec bike that is fun to ride and at a price that is less than £1,000, we think it’s unlikely you’ll find a better deal.
