Thanks for this vid. Here in the States, mags won't say anything bad about a bike until the new model comes out, then they'll say how bad the old style was. They don't want to be last on the receivership when new bikes come out for reviews. Or worse, lose advertising dollars.

I know this has been out for some time but I just came across it. I have always bought a frame and fork and built up the bike with components of my choosing. It's certainly not the cheapest route but I end up with exactly what I want. I currently have on order a Bianchi Specialissima. The component list is not finalized but it will be an eclectic mix based around Super Record shifters and derailleurs. Not a criticism but just another way of doing things.

I ride a 2012 synapse carbon a few tweaks but I haven’t found anything better so far. light, fast, comfortable, good in a cross wind and quiet all the things modern bikes are not. The venge has to be the most disappointing bike I’ve ever ridden, harsh, heavy and dull.

Thoughts on new TCR?

@indonesiaamerica7050 3 года назад

The best deal right now is probably the Tarmac SL7 Pro. Most of the important differences come from the new wheels. They're apparently just as fast in "road" conditions as the CLX64 and quite a bit lighter. Getting them as the CL range on an SL7 Pro for $7000 is still a lot but I doubt Alaphilippe would have noticed if the Pro (model) level gear had been finished like the S-Works. There are some other really good deals out there but I don't know of any better package and that is because of how effective the new Roval wheels are.

Nice review and nice countering of all of the marketing stuff being thrown at us in this big dollar industry. Just one remark though. Canyon offers great value for money if you have the skills to work on your bike. Not all of us can though. The after market service for me is also an important factor in the consideration to buy a bike. I’m not claiming Canyon does not do a good job in that, but as there is no dealer network I hope everyone agrees it is not as good as other brands on that part.

Got friends buying bikes in the $3k, $6k then $10k+ really? I am just looking for decent (carbon) frame (15-17lbs), aesthetic and great looking design, right groupset & wheels EVERYTHING else i think it is in the legs and riding experiences. Unless i am in biking to win some $$ I will have my bike custom and money is not an object for the ideal bike. Glad i found your vid bc now I get to narrow my shopping list. ;).

@BDH BDH I Agree. The full aero and weight benefit of the bike only comes with the $12k build with highest end groupsets. Drop down a level to the $7000 pro which is still pretty pricy and you get heavier carbon and CL rapides with round spokes. Go down another level to the $5000 expert and you have heavy aluminum wheels but you also lose the aerofly bar which is a huge part of the aero package. Which is why I mentioned that the Cube is actually pretty good value compared. For under $4700 you get the pro version with the exact same frame and handlecars as the top end version but with alloy wheels. You can add a pair of Hunt 50/65 or Reynolds AR58/62 at under still fall well below the price of the SL7 Pro version. That said I really love the silver color of the SL7 Expert model.

The bike I would love to get is a Merida Reacto. I know it doesn’t stand up against these bikes but damn it’s a very nice bike that isn’t extremely overpriced. The Scultura Endurance 7000e is very nice also.
