Every bike in the Halfords Carrera range in 2025

Our guide to every model in the Carrera adult range, from commuter bikes to MTBs, including electric bike options and folders

Halfords

Published: February 19, 2025 at 12:00 pm

Carrera is Halfords' budget in-house brand. The Halfords Carrera range includes electric bikes, road bikes, mountain bikes, folding bikes and hybrids, as well as kids' bikes.

Impressively, the price of Carrera bikes has in general stayed the same over the last couple of years, when bike prices have increased significantly. In some cases, they've even decreased.

Carrera bikes are a good option for new cyclists or riders seeking value, with features including disc brakes on all but the lowest-priced models. Carrera's electric bike range has increased and they're well priced, with most using a rear-hub motor.

In this article, we’ll run through each model in Carrera’s adult road bike, mountain bike, hybrid bike, folding bike and electric bike ranges and make a nod to its kids' bikes. We've focused on Carrera's core range here, but you'll also find other models on Halfords' site and in its stores, which may only be available for a limited time.

What can you expect from Carrera bikes?

Carrera's 2025 road bikes include 28mm tyres and disc brakes. This is the sub-£500 Carrera Vanquish Disc. Halfords

Carrera updated both its road bikes and mountain bikes in 2020, upgrading specs and, for its MTBs, moving to modern long and slack geometry. The Carrera range carries this over into 2025.

Carrera's hybrid range includes 'urban hybrids', which have a rigid fork, and its 'leisure hybrid' bikes, which feature a suspension fork.

Carrera fits its own saddles to many of its bikes. These have a memory foam layer for additional comfort, while its own-brand tyres, made by Kenda, have added puncture protection via an aramid layer and ceramic particles in the rubber compound to increase flat resistance.

Carrera's popular hybrid bikes provide a value option. This is the range-topping Carrera Subway AW. Halfords

Halfords has also aimed to keep the weights and prices down, for riders who want a lightweight bike without a heavyweight price tag.

Where does Carrera fit in Halfords’ range?

Carrera bikes are sold exclusively by Halfords and sit between the budget Apollo range and the premium Boardman and Voodoo lines. The Carrera range’s emphasis is on value, with good specs and only its electric bikes priced above £1,000.

As with all Halfords bikes, you can buy Carrera bikes online or in-store, with finance and Cycle to Work options.

Carrera kids' bike range

Last but by no means least, Carrera has a comprehensive range of children’s models, ranging from a £110 balance bike up to 24in and 26in versions of its adult bikes.

The range covers hybrids and mountain bikes with prices up to £360, suitable for kids up to 12 years old. See the full range on the Halfords website.

Halfords service and finance offers

Buy a bike from Halfords and you can apply for finance to spread the cost, and there's a Cycle to Work scheme to lower your total outlay. You can also book a free 32-point safety check at any Halfords branch.
