Bike manufacturers have been busy increasing their prices, as well… 😒

£7000 for the Dogma F but you need to upgrade the tyres to get the best out of it, crazy!

Caad Optimo is a great bike to upgrade. Its my forever rim brake bike. Change to scram force, carbon wheelset, carbon seatpost, and carbon bars. This is my winter project

That van bike looks amazing, something about bikes with a simple paint job that do it for me, no writing is even better

I own a Triban RC520, my first road bike purchase ever. Love it! (Got it with full 105 groupset, changed) Great bike to learn "bikin" and servicing on your own :)

Giant contend AR1 with 105 is spot on for the money.

Strongly thinking of the new Defy Advanced Pro.

Optimo 4 owner - I ❤ this bike

Caad Optimo is my bike. Upgraded with dura ace with fulcrum racing 7 wheels. Performs amazingly

My Tarmac, the first model with aluminium/carbon mix was the best ever bike I've owned, and was $4500 from Bicycles of Ojai, CA.

I still love my Boardman SLR 8.9.

SL8 £12, 000 'you get what pay for'. Is this a joke?

Giant Propel 👍

Nice & Thanks :)

Pinarello!

Factor VAM & Cannondale CAAD 👍

I love these interesting videos. Good way of analysis to improve your performance . Impressed about the data!

Cannondale Super Six Evo! All the champion one!

Colnago V4RS 😊

I have recently purchased a Dolan Ares, and believe this bike should be in your top bike list as a worthy contender for and excellent well priced bike. Unfortunately not many bike pundits are interested in British bikes ...... Shame

I have a 30 year old Merlin Titanium Extra Light with Campy Record. I’m good.

I finally found an affordable (under $300) bike with a 180° top tube. So frustrating that most affordable road bikes these days have a sloped top tube, but I suppose that's to accommodate several different rider heights with one frame. Disclaimer: I purchased this bike for the frame only and will undoubtedly upgrade components over time.

Factor !!

Where would the Factor Ostro VAM, their aero all purpose road bike?

I own the van rysel rcr and it is truly amazing! The quality/price ratio, here in France for 4800 euros ($5000) is hard to beat!

I love light bicycles vs. the heavy e-bikes of the same price.

Cannondale super 6 evo. Aluminum from known brand or chinese carbon ?

Can someone please strip and SL8 and provide a deep dive into the “unseen” components. I’m surmising full ceramic bearings, gold outers to boot. I imagine the carbon is derived from asteroids, the group set and frame to have lifetime warranty and for it to be

What about the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX

Just wait for the dentist to sell his 2023 model with only 500km of use for half the price or even better buy a uncomplicated rim brake bike you can service yourself without the overpriced fees of a bike shop.

I read all these reviews recommending the Cannondale SuperSix Evo 3 with a wheel upgrade or saying that the Lab 71 is too expensive. Excuse me, did everyone miss the Evo 2 which is 95% of the the Lab 71 for $5,500 USD?

What are the thoughts for the 2024 Trek Emonda SL6? Seen one advertised for £2900 which for a lightweight carbon bike with di2 and carbon wheels seems pretty good.

amazing praices.

SL8

Cannondale lab 71😊

S-Works is the one

time alpe d huez and look blade rs are missing

The FACTOR VAM is definitely my go to bike… 🚴

S-Works Tarmac all day long!

Vitus is also an incredible value for what you get...

No Teammachine R?!

Java Siluro series makes the best bikes

Specialized -----FUJI

Where is propel sl

BMC Teammachine R

If Decathlon’s Van Rysel bikes are as good as they look to be on paper(specs and all)...big boys will have a problem.

Bianchi Specialissima is missing.

No trek madone???

Have to go with the Pinarello F7, pedigree and quality all around. And let’s face it, with inflation, increased logistical costs, etc…..you’re not touching a halfway decent bike below $8k anymore.

How about chapter2?

Those "s'" really kick you in the eardrums

How can the Madone not be on this list?

Sworks or bust

Where is Time? Way above any of these bikes in quality, ride and price!!

Le biciclette non vanno da sole, ci vogliono le gambe!

No canyon bike on this list or Trek ? Hmmm

More like 7 amazingly overweight bikes for every budget. Except that Caad Optimo 4, which is a far better bike than the porky disc brake RC520.

Not giving in to ridiculously priced road bikes. Will continue to ride fixed gear.

Maybe wash the Factor 02 prior to studio photos? Wtf

You don't get any ❤ when you comment on the sky high prices! Why?

No Madone!?

Jesus why are there more bikes under 1000€ it’s insane nowadays. Who can purchase these…

For every Budget shows the problem the sport has. I mean i have a ok bike. Gravel bike. Failed buy extreme. But even for.tje cheapest bike today i had to safe money for 6(?) years. I qm severely disabled and may be never wgsin able to work. In other countrys i would habe nothing. But the money inget here isnt enough even for nuying.clothes. so inwould have to safe Money tonmy death and wouldnt have enough. And starting in the sport without paying hundreds of euros like other sports? No chance.

❤❤❤❤😮😮❤😊

"The effects of the pandemic" Thanks for letting me know you are an NPC.

no canyon no gut :(

What's happened to Specialized looks over the past few years? The Tarmac & (particulary) the Venge used to be amongst the best looking bikes in the peleton, and now no Venge in sight, and the latest Tarmacs are just plain ugly. And.....as for climbing bikes being as equally efficient as aeros, and vice-versa, surely whichever way you look at it this has been emperor's new clothes and smoke & mirrors- the reality is that it's more cost effective for manufacturers to have a procuction line making just the one model instead of spliiting losses between several - am I the only one thinking this???

And where is Canyon??? 🤷‍♂️

JJJ

😂😂Who wants some bubbly 😢

...Let's suppose one is an "ex" team roadie during the "drug years" and you chose to introduce your child to cycling. Who in their right @#$%%&$ mind has $ THOUSANDS to buy ...I have noticed that (give or take 12 years hence) VIDS have COMPLETELY veered away from the "mechanics" of becoming an improved rider to : $$$HOW MUCH" is necessary?! We have lost our way. When I think back to starting with 7-11. It was ALWAYS the skill,tactics and learning to compete in a (then) European sport. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE BIKE! That was and is only an adjunct to the sport...

🤣🤣🤣 the bike industry is slowly going under. It has no one to blame but itself absolutely no one but itself. Greedy disgusting corporations and their venture capitalist backers. Venture capitalists now own bike co. A high-end kitchen designer owns trek... specialized is in trouble. There is a massive amount of denial going on within the industry from the manufacturers to the Reps to the mopsy flopsy bike shops. I've worked in the industry now for 7 years, I've heard the conversations on & off the record. I've seen with my own eyes what's happening. The only thing keeping most bike shops afloat is service. More and more shops are going under... you are going to see the big four or five companies become two or three in the next 5 to 10 years. Demand is never coming back. Prices are way out of control. When a mid-level mountain bike is as expensive as a good level dirt bike you know there's a major problem. And road bikes are completely insanely overpriced. But you will ALWAYS have your statists parroting the company line... things are good things are good! Industries on the upswing Industries on the upswing! 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Buh bye...

pinarello f7 is expensive with cheap most parts. i will never buy pinarello again.

The comments are so funny or sad. These kind lf commments inthink i see nearly nowhere else. Comments like: i am capitqlism pro i know its overpriced or who buys such bikes is part of the problem...... Imagine sayimg this to someone with a car which is more expensive than the minimum. And 1000 Dollars for a claris bike....... That shows its dollars. In europe nearly everywehre you get w sora

Mf just said £12,000 is a budget price

Over priced

Canyon winning races left and right and CW don't even have it in their top 7 LOL - I stop watching as soon as I noticed that

The prices are absolute bullshit, extortion.

Disc brakes thrust upon the customer without the option , at several hundred more pounds and weight and totally unnecessary

Non stop the same bikes, nothing really new and or even niche.

None of the bikes. Way over priced for what they are. Buy used and get yourself a bargain.

All heavy overpriced heaps of junk. Best bikes for 2024 are ones from 10 years ago

All crap

Dare VSRu❤
