At the heart of this collection are the legendary Pearson 1860 ON and ON Bike platforms, including the standout On&On 815 Race Ex Team Bike, now reduced from £5,550 to just £2,500.

That means you’re getting cutting-edge engineering with a proven track record on the cyclocross circuit.

Why choose a Pearson Ex-Team or Demo Bike?

There is something special about riding a bike that has already been pushed to its limits by elite riders. These Pearson Ex-Team and Demo Bikes have been raced, tested, and refined in real-world conditions. While they may carry minor cosmetic marks from a season in the mud, their performance remains uncompromised.

For many cyclists, this represents incredible value. You are effectively accessing top-tier carbon race bikes at more than 50% off the original price. It is one of the most affordable ways to experience a premium gravel or cyclocross setup without compromise.

Who are these bikes for?

They also appeal to experienced cyclists who understand that a few cosmetic scuffs are a small trade-off for elite-level engineering and ride quality.
