B'Twin's Triban range has a strong following among riders looking for their first road bike or anyone who wants to keep a lid on their budget. The Triban 520 follows the same formula but makes some worthwhile refinements.
Refreshed, practical frameset
The 520 gets a new frameset made from 6061 aluminium, with a carbon fork and an aluminium steerer. Thanks to generous frame and fork clearances and long-reach brake calipers, there's room for 32mm tyres or 28mm rubber with mudguards fitted.
The bike comes with 25mm items – a good choice for all-round road riding. There are mounts for mudguards and racks front and rear.
