Details

Located just north of Athens, in the Attica region of Greece, Maroussi offers a dynamic blend of urban energy and access to some of the country’s best road cycling terrain. Panorama Bikes, based here, brings a high-performance edge to biking enthusiasts with their Road Carbon Disc Bike experience, perfect for riders chasing speed and precision on asphalt. The highlight is the Attain GTC carbon bike, engineered to meet the demands of competitive riders and those seeking to sharpen their technique. Crafted with aero Flex Stays and a full carbon fork, this bike balances stiffness and comfort, making it agile on climbs and steady during descents.

Riding around Maroussi, you'll find a variety of paved routes from the bustling cityscape to quieter suburban roads framed by pine and olive trees, hallmark flora of the Attica region. The area is a gateway to the rugged hills and coastal stretches that define much of Greece’s geography, offering cyclists routes that test endurance and reward with vistas of the Saronic Gulf and Mount Penteli’s limestone cliffs. Panorama Bikes not only outfits you with top-tier carbon bikes but also provides the chance to take in this unique mix of natural and manmade environments, where ancient history intersects with modern life.

This service stands out because it caters to serious cyclists in a city better known for culture and history than cycling infrastructure. Panorama Bikes fills a niche for local riders and visiting athletes aiming to experience Greece’s outdoor sports scene beyond the typical tourist paths. With a machine focused on efficiency and durability, cyclists can confidently tackle long rides or timed efforts, whether training for national events or simply enjoying the thrill of the road.
