About Us

Planet X is your one stop retailer for the best value performance bikes on the market. We scour the world for components to bring you the best value bikes around, all hand assembled at our Sheffield HQ by our Cytech approved mechanics.

We offer amazing value. Because we work directly with the largest factories in the world, we can typically offer bikes that cost 25-40% less than a similar model from a "conventional" brand. We've led the way for value at performance price points, and we are convinced that our models are the best around.

Our Planet X range of Drop Bar Road Bikes start from just £999 for a complete bike with a full carbon frame and fork, using SRAM's Rival groupset.
Whether you're after a day-ride classic, a fast commuter or a high speed road race or triathlon bike - you'll find something here.

Technology

exocet carbon time trial frame

For our latest nano-carbon road frame we've really pushed the current limits of composite builds to produce a truly superlight frame. Our new Exocet aero bike has also been developed with the fluid dynamics scientists at Sheffield University to make it as drag free as possible.

It's not just carbon we concentrate on either. We have a whole new set of manipulated shape stays for our titanium bikes too, and our new alloy SL is triple butted for minimum weight and maximum stiffness to suit our pro team. More...

Performance

time trial bike

Our bikes have won that many races and awards its fairly obvious that performance is a priority for us.

Our bikes are designed to deliver proper useable performance for real riders. But, they're also tough enough to handle the abuse these same brutal pro riders hand out.

Our aero bikes are low on drag, but not low on comfort or hard to get a good position on. Our road bikes are designed to suck up the mileage and handle superbly to leave you in the best shape for the finishing sprint. More...

Value

stealth pro carbon

You buy directly from us which means we can offer you outstanding value on our bikes and parts.

We also have the best possible relationships with our suppliers. The fact we design some really innovative and desirable bikes that get rave reviews means suppliers want to work with us.

We get freedom to fettle our designs while still getting best price and we pass those savings directly on to you. It also means we can spend more on development with our pro team and organisations like Sheffield University without pricing our bikes out of your pocket. More...
