The four bikes we make, and how to choose between them.
Pearson builds four performance carbon bikes, each with a clear purpose.
The Forge is a performance endurance road bike, designed for riders who want to go fast and far without the full aero compromise. The Shift 2.0 is our aero race road bike, made to win. On the gravel side, the On&On Race is built for outright performance on mixed terrain, while the On&On Adventure is designed for longer, more exploratory riding.
All four are precision carbon framesets, designed in London. Available as complete bikes or framesets.
Two different bikes for two different purposes.
The Forge is a performance endurance road bike. Built for all-day riding without sacrificing speed. Performance endurance geometry across five sizes (1 to 5), informed by 2,000+ professional bike fits collected over 13 years. More upright riding position, more frame clearance, made to go further.
The Shift 2.0 is an aero race road bike. CFD-modelled tube profiles tested at Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub. T1000 and M40JB carbon construction. UCI approved. Race geometry across five sizes. If your objective is being as fast as possible on the road, start here.
Both share the same fit-led build process and the same standard of finish. The difference is intent.
Both are carbon gravel bikes. They go about things very differently.
The On&On Race is aero-optimised and pared back for performance. 1x drivetrains only (Shimano GRX 827 Di2 or SRAM RED XPLR AXS). Race-focused geometry. If you're riding gravel events and covering ground as fast as possible, this is the one.
The On&On Adventure is built for longer, more varied riding. It takes luggage, handles the unexpected, and comes in two drivetrain configurations: Shimano GRX 820 mechanical 1x for simplicity and field reliability, and Shimano GRX 825 Di2 2x for a broader gear range when you're loaded or in the hills for extended periods.
Yes. The Shift 2.0 is UCI approved, making it legal for use in UCI-sanctioned road race events.
All four models run across five sizes (1 to 5). The On&On Race and On&On Adventure cover the same five-size range.
Rather than selecting a size by height alone, we recommend going through our fit-led build process. Fit data from a professional bike fit gives us the frame size, contact-point measurements, and build configuration that work for your specific proportions. If you haven't had a fit, we can talk through sizing on the phone.
Yes. All four models are available as framesets as well as complete bikes, and frameset prices vary by colourway. See each frameset for its current prices: the Forge, the Shift 2.0, the On&On Race and the On&On Adventure.
Each model comes in several colourways, and the price varies by colour.
Forge: Heritage Blue, Cotton Pearl and Atomic Aubergine.
Shift 2.0: Racing White, Heritage Blue and Dawn Blue.
On&On Race: Racing White and Dawn Blue.
On&On Adventure: Dune Stone and Forest Green.
Each bike's page shows the current price for every colour and build.
The Forge is designed for exactly this. Performance endurance geometry, frame clearance for wider tyres, and a riding position built for long hours. Fast, but not at the expense of comfort over distance.
For long-distance gravel riding, the On&On Adventure is the right answer. The GRX 825 Di2 2x build gives you the broadest gear range if you're loading bags or riding extended climbs.
For road racing: the Shift 2.0. Aero-optimised, UCI approved, made to win.
For gravel racing: the On&On Race. Pared back, aero-focused, 1x drivetrain only.
