The Lego Road Bike set is an incredibly detailed replica reminiscent of some of the best aero road bikes currently on show at the Giro d'Italia

Lego has unveiled its first-ever road bike set, the Lego Icons Road Bike (11380), a highly detailed and functional replica inspired by some of the top aero road bikes currently seen at the Giro d’Italia. Comprising 1,015 pieces, the model captures key technical features that cycling enthusiasts appreciate, such as front-wheel steering and a fully operational drivetrain. The drivetrain includes a chain made of individual Lego links that rotate with the cranks and a freewheel mechanism allowing the rear wheel to spin independently, mimicking real-world coasting. Measuring over 36 cm in height and 60 cm in length, the finished build comes with a display stand reminiscent of popular smart trainers, making it an ideal showpiece for any cycling fan’s collection or “pain cave.” Although Lego has not confirmed which specific bike inspired the design, experts suggest it draws heavily from early Factor models, particularly those with a distinctive bayonet head tube. The wheels also pay homage to high-performance aero wheelsets like the Scope Artech 6.A, known for their wind tunnel-tested speed. Additional touches include a bidon and a rear light, the latter evoking the look of the Magicshine SEEMEE300, a favourite among cyclists, though without the actual lighting functionality. Priced at $129.99, the set is available for pre-order through Amazon and Lego’s official channels, with shipping expected to begin on 1 June. Its release is well-timed ahead of Father’s Day in both the UK and US, making it a thoughtful gift for cycling enthusiasts. The Lego Icons Road Bike is expected to be popular among both Lego collectors and cycling fans, combining the appeal of a challenging build with the aesthetics and technical details of a high-end road bike. Its launch offers a unique way to engage with cycling culture off the saddle, providing a detailed and interactive model that celebrates the sport’s cutting-edge design and engineering.
