The Specialized Tarmac SL8 will probably win the most pro races, but which bike do you think will actually be 2024’s best?

@daviddawn9043 5 месяцев назад

It is the rider really. Tdf winners not on spez

@mlee6136 2 месяца назад

Bianchi specialisma!! Petros from Greece 🇬🇷

@creative907 8 месяцев назад

I'm more into aero bikes, but some of these climbing bikes look very nice. I like the Bianchi Specialissima and BMC, although the Van Rysel RCR is growing on me.

@user-st4bu8ns2s 8 месяцев назад

Really looking forward to the Bianchi Specialissima, one of my favorite. brands and the bike looks AMAZING!

@einundsiebenziger5488 8 месяцев назад

The Specialissima reinstates my faith in Bianchi. I was conviced that Bianchi was unable to make an ugly bike, then last year they introduced the new Oltre, a bike so ugly it makes me physically sick to look at it, even more hideous than any carbon Pinarello ever. The new Specialissima can't hold a candle to its predecessor's beauty but it is a good-looking road bike worthy to bear the Bianchi name.

@andylam5322 8 месяцев назад

@kevinpower5880 8 месяцев назад

@trevekneebone369 8 месяцев назад

@cjfetters 8 месяцев назад

I am leaning towards staying with an older style bike with cables. It is easier to maintain and more fun as a hobby. I really like wireless shifting, but you don't have to charge old school cables. The integrated bars don't appeal to me.

@gregoirebaranger1696 8 месяцев назад

I don't know about the Van Rysel RCR in itself, but for sure I appreciate seeing 3rd party wheels instead of in-house Roval ones on a bike costing more than 10 grand...

@foxyobrown 8 месяцев назад

Roval rapids are probably one of the best wheels… def. no need for 3rd party wheels.

@rayF4rio 8 месяцев назад

I see this mentioned all the time, that this bike or these wheels are faster up to an 6% or 8% climb. I this case you are quoting Bianchi, but nevertheless. Really, the change over point between light weight vs aero frame/wheels needs to be stated in terms of speed. My speed up a 6% climb is way slower than a worldtour pro. In fact, I'm so slow it doesn't really matter which I choose. 😂

@9090Glenn 8 месяцев назад

@diehardbikes 7 месяцев назад

The highest end bikes have only gone up around 10 percent in the last 10 years, depending on company. Your arrogance precedes you. Inflation has gone up way more than 10%, hasn't it? You want a pro bike for not a premium price, is what you want. Thats not how it works. If everyone could afford them, that's not very premium, don't you think?

@TheRealSnakePlisken 5 месяцев назад

Indeed, compared to motorcycles, which are infinitely more complex, premium bicycles are ludicrously priced. Even top level bikes should be less than $3k.

@diehardbikes 5 месяцев назад

@TheRealSnakePlisken ok. No. 3k? You definitely fail to understand anything about bikes. I love people and I love bikes and I love people on bikes, but you are the type of people who do no good in the sport. None. If a top end road bike should only cost 3k, then if we are going to take those same margin percentages, a top car, with ALL the tricks and gadgets, even from a brand like Keonigsegg, should only cost around 300k. But no.... thats about where those START. You have no idea whatsoever about what you are talking about. Premium is not supposed to be attainable by everyone, otherwise it wouldn't be premium, and wouldn't be pushing limits of innovation. That's what premium means. That's why cheap Chinese brands, although affordable, are NOT premium. You can't have cheap and premium at the same time, it doesn't work like that.

In Germany the Van Rysel with the New Force inkl. Powermeter and Zipp 404 Firecrest is Cheaper than the Sl8 Frame. 4800€ is a bargain.

@MichaelWilliams-iv6dj 8 месяцев назад

I appreciate bikes like the Van Rysel, Ribble Ultra, and Canyon bikes because they probably do a lot to keep the crazy prices in check, though even these price conscious brand are not cheap.

My friend does, according to him. He never rides, thinks cyclists are a menace but he assures me when he rides his wifes 25kg bike he cruises around at 45 kph very easily.

@runl6117 8 месяцев назад

During a race you easily go over 45kph

@einundsiebenziger5488 8 месяцев назад

You do realize that when two bikes, or any vehicles, go the same speed that none of them can't be any faster than the other? A bike company claiming that "our bike is faster than their bike at x speed" should immediately fire its marketing department or go out of business.

@Mas421 8 месяцев назад

It is important that we all say publicly which bike we ride and which we will buy. Everyone should know it and everyone should see it. We define ourselves by what we have and what we can afford. It s not about what the best bike in 2024 will be. It s just a fair of vanities.

@TheRealSnakePlisken 5 месяцев назад

Hence the reason for the ridiculous pricing. Nothing more than a collection of assembly line parts, interchangeable and replaceable, with limited engineering advancements and minimal increments in improvement on age old function and design. Absurd.

@twatts4436 8 месяцев назад

You cannot be X seconds quicker at Y speed. Speed s a function of time! If two bikes are doing the same speed then they could ver the same distance in the same time! I will keep saying this until the Cycling media calls out the marketing rubbish.

@einundsiebenziger5488 8 месяцев назад

Correct. Be a loser in math/physics, get a job in marketing. And even if they claim "use this bike to ride 40 kph for an hour and you'll save X Watts over that bike", people who can go 40 kph on a bike for an hour do not need to buy their bikes, but have them supplied by sponsors.

Also, finally skip proprietary, oddly-shaped seatposts and nobody needs shitloads of tyre clearance on road bikes. And when will company spokes people claiming that one bike can be faster than another at the SAME SPEED finally be fired and publicly shamed instead of being quoted?
