LEGO introduced the Icons Road Bike (11380), a fully functional replica building set aimed at adults. The plastic frame includes front-wheel steering and a functional drivetrain with a freewheel mechanism that supports backpedaling and rear-wheel spinning on a stand. The kit features deep-section aero rims, road-optimized rubber tires, a derailleur, disc brake calipers and rotors, clipless pedals, and shifters. It also includes a removable water bottle and a rear light. The model’s realism is limited mainly by missing handlebar tape and its small size, measuring about 14 inches tall and 23.5 inches long.
"Lego just introduced the Icons Road Bike (11380). This road bike replica kit is fully functional and meticulously detailed, from the working drivetrain to the removable water bottle and rear light. It's also aero-optimized with deep-section wheels, bladed fork legs, and a modern design that looks kinda like a Colnago Y1Rs, to be honest."
"The Icon Road Bike frame is made of plastic, of course, and Lego went all in on the details to make it as realistic as possible. That includes front-wheel steering and a functional drivetrain with a freewheel mechanism that allows you to backpedal or let the rear wheel spin on the stand. It has deep-section aero rims, rubber tires with road optimized tread, a derailleur, disc brake calipers and rotors, clipless pedals, shifters, and the aforementioned bottle and rear light."
"The only thing that really gives away the fact that it's not a real road bike is the lack of handlebar tape, or perhaps that's just to save some weight? Oh, it's also just 14" tall and 23.5" long. Still, Jordan says it wouldn't last 10 minutes in his house before his youngest kid tried to ride it."
