Would you buy an sworks? Or would you get a pro and a nice vacation??

[universe-juice]

Id probably get the s works. Im an older fella and dont have a lot of time left. So i want to go out with a Gucci belt 👍

[Hintonbro.]

Break it down for you:
S-Works = Conspicuous display of wealth.

[superstrada]

At my level of group riding I am not interested in "aero gains"or "weight savings." The SL8 to me is one of the
the most unattractive bikes ever made while the SL7 is remains one of the most attractive. I can always lose a little weight and practice a better arrow position, but I will only get uglier as I age!
I just bought one of the last available S- Works SL7 in red, satin black, fade. A very pretty bike indeed. I am very happy.

At the end of the day my Canyon Ultimate SL8 weighs the same as these two bikes and only cost me $2700 plus $368 for my carbon wheels on sale so $3, 068 to get a bike that is just as light and aero for racing. So I saved over $5, 000 compared to even the lower end of these two models.

[nochancecw]

$5000 dollar part difference if anyone wants to know what it all added up to.

Cool bikes but s-works ain't worth it unless you are a pro or rich enthusiast.

I'd love to see the mid tier frame with some craft racing wheels, budget carbon bar/stem and maybe a 105 di2 and see what price and weight you can get. The poor man's s-works build.

[arcadialive]

As someone who has both 10 and 12r bikes (sadly, not the new sl8), I can 100% say the 12r is noticeably smoother. To continue the car analogy, it’s like comparing a Benz to a Bentley but there is a feeling that makes that 12r worth it. Personally, I’d customize the build but def go with the s-works.

Excessive shaking is a sign of too much flapping

I don’t need captions, thankfully, but I appreciate you adding them in for the people that do

[dmsvahn]

ur videos are so so good...and thanks for always showing the weights too...keep up the great work

[tonioaranda]

Amazing video as always bro!!! Now, some say the 2020 SWorks Venge is the best aero frame “ever built”, its fast and you can climb with it, the only missing upgrade to the Venge would be the new one piece roval handlebar and basically you have a “rocketship” as a bike, your thoughts? Cheers 🤙🏼🍻

[rolffuchs]

I paid around 1500$ for a set of handbuilt carbon wheels, with Duke 48 mm rims and aero spokes . So I would go with the pro.

[mikekelly]

Looking at the price of the frame alone, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a frame and build up with top tier groupset and wheels? Looking at prices in Auatralia it works out several grand cheaper than buying the whole package. What am I missing?

[franciscorey]

5500€ de diferencia un kilo???? Nos estamos volviendo locos, lo único que me puedo permitir sworks son las zapatillas 😂😂.

[azdrijanmemedov]

I'll pick any. But I need one bad 😢

[jimmytran]

Oh boy oh boy can’t wait to find someone dream build in a size 54 with full DA 12 sp in 8 years from now! 🤪

[samgiamarelos]

I own both, to be honest they feel very different, my s works has me with a permanent smile on my face, my pro feels functional and a little wooden

[dark_drama_llama]

That pro is already a beast. Might upgrade the bar.

[Millicente]

The only thing I really wanna know is if a racer can feel any difference in bb stiffness and overall compliance

[petersouthernboy]

My local Specialized dealer has sold every S-Works SL-8 that he's gotten in.
