"We've haven't just picked out the big names and the big price tags... Let's kick things off with the Specialised S-WORKS SL8" 😂😂

Reading of the top 9 road bikes sales brochures

[benoittheminerandgamer]

Can we have Top 9 Best endurance Road Bikes For 2025 under 3000$ We are not millionnaire.

[chrisbailey-qx]

Just sounds like a compendium of the respective manufacturers’ sales blurb.

[simozonelayer]

nice to see the RC520 on the list. It's decent for the money, but please add more sub £2K bikes.

[properlygrumpy]

Will you also make a series of adverts for people who can't fold themselves in half?

[korporalkarrot]

How in the name of god is Cube Agree/Attain not on this list? If it’s meant to be genuinely helpful? Ultegra level carbon bikes for €3, 000 is unbeatable by anyone. Even Canyon. Can only conclude like others this is a marketing piece.

My two favorite road bikes for 2025:
My 2000 Serotta with Reynolds’s 853 main tubes and Serotta carbon fork and 2000 Campagnolo Chorus 10 speed group.
My 2004 Specialized Allez CroMo made with Columbus FoMoCo tubing, so it’s Mo Fuckin Good! It came with carbon fork and Shimano 6600 Ultegra 10 speed group.

To each his own.

Nice review, I agree with Benoit, please do an Endurance bike top 10. Thanks. 😊

It just feels like a copy and paste list with mostly the same old same old. For 2026 you can just change the graphics and video title or simply splice together the marketing videos from the companies themselves since there's clearly little or no research that anyone outside of an intern has done here. Plenty of other bikes to write about...LOOK, Time, Parlee and heck even Otso can be in the mix. It seems that if Specialized did nothing but add more glitter into the paint, I would see a segment discussing aero benefits of glitter.

It's also a bit coincidental that your channel only started talking about the Triban again after the Cade Media folks did the Malaysia trip and review.

What type of alloy is the Cannondale frame made from, steel, titanium, or aluminium ?

[alexgonzalezMI]

I'll be riding the Sworks! Hopefully it's more compliant in the seat tube than my Aeroad.

[CharesmieGecale-nd]

Hi bro!nice to meet you! Im new i just bought a road bike can you help me with anything with it i can balance?

[dennishaughton]

I was between the SL 8, Dogma F, and the madone SLR 7. I ended up getting the Madone. The Madone is very fast. It’s a beautiful bike. And it looks stunning. I am very happy with my choice.

My current ride a free Carrera Axel Max frame, forks off a free Dawes (Suntour Sr)
New tyres, saddle, handle bars, back wheel, triple chain set, freewheel 7 speed and s/h rapid rise say £200 front brake and wheels off other free bikes, about £200 😂😂😂😂 out four hours today ha, don’t judge I’m nearly seventy 🎉

[anthonyhuber-permanentlyre]

What's gone wrong with Cannondale's welding? It seemed smoother back in the day

[TVonthetubesyo]

Curious how the entry Colnago V3 or V4 stack up.
