This category of bicycles is known as "performance road." They offer a little more upright riding position (longer head tube) and the geometry is more for comfort than speed. These bikes are for long days in the saddle and are designed to absorb road vibration. However, these bikes are "raced" in the professional road ranks in races such as the Paris-Roubaix (portions of the course are on cobblestone.)
