Superior bikes offer amazing value considering the equipment Not many reviews around which is a shame Comment from : @julieta203 |
|
Bought a 2008 Cervelo Soloist for $1k and upgraded it for about $1k and have a great bike in hand! Just like cars, don't buy new!! Comment from : @jaymorin7131 |
|
I'm gonna buy a soloist or 795 blade frame and do my ultimate build Comment from : @patstrzeszewski3240 |
|
What about the orro venturi currently being picked up for as little as £1500 with shimano 105 12 speed 28mm vision 30 wheels hydraulic brakes and 28mm continental tyres? Comment from : @iaincallaghan2431 |
|
Absolutely no justification whatsoever for a bike price at £10k Don’t tell me it’s the F1 of bikes There are hardly any parts to be made and they are not manufactured from unobtainium 😅 Manufacturing complexity vs cars is practically zero It’s like a Birkin handbag … people buy them so the brands laugh all the way to the bank Comment from : @MarquitoRH |
|
High-end bike is better but by margin that so many of people i means majority of customer can not see the benefits that worth doubling the price so today small name and bike industry nearly collapse and bankrupt brpoint is not is it better ?brBut Is it worth the money for most customers? brYou can not run company produce bike that sells to just 200-500 people even you charge it more like now it 5000$ for a bikebrIs it wrong when its income equals to 2500$ a bike for 1000 customersbrbrWhen customers pay this much money they gonna stick with that bike longer and if you can not justify the higher price next year its gonna be harder to sell the bike cuz longer ownership will smaller the market when who see the value in it is already bought one repeat this for 5 years now noone want to buy its that is fact Comment from : @tanawatleelayouva5123 |

No Dolan Ares? Comment from : @Flashback_Jack |
|
Dave test the soloist please Comment from : @Dawnofthedead001 |
|
i sold my tcr adv pro 2 disc 2021 it wasn't good for me Comment from : @Dawnofthedead001 |
|
Love the canyon Comment from : @chaostravel7169 |
|
Giant has the press in bottom bracket what I don't like Comment from : @good-boy-ringo |
|
I currently have the giant propel advanced disc 2 is that great?? It has a shimano 105 groupset on it Comment from : @daboizzz2856 |
|
Price inflation over the last 15 years has been obscene Thanks to cycletowork and other schemes has been the worst thing ever to happen to consumers The rich get richer whilst the poor have to walk Comment from : @DanielEarlester |
|
It seems these days nobody wants expensive bikesGood about time Comment from : @paullacey2999 |
|
What do you think aero savings from a soloist to a tcr would be about? Comment from : @ironore8677 |
|
I just bought last year’s Teammachine SLR01 from BMC, which was discounted Because I buy it from Germany and live in Switzerland, I profit from the strong Franc and get the difference between German and Swiss VAT back It’s all about finding the nice bargains Comment from : @user-d32658 |
|
Hi, i recently bought a trek emonda sl carbon bike Is this a mid range bike? It cost just under 3,000brIt says entry level carbon trek, but guess that is not relevant as there surely are far more cheaper trek models making mine mid range? Comment from : @landscapeandmonuments1615 |
|
Great overview I got here after your bikes for £2,000 I opted for a Vitus Vitesse so good to see them getting a mention Other great bang for your buck bikes are Boardman Comment from : @johngannon1 |
|
5k isn’t good value Pre Covid, Brexit, and even disc breaks 5k was top of the line super light pro level Sit on what you have and watch the industry implode Comment from : @cyclofeedubox8332 |
|
"Under £5,000" People's Bike, LOL? Well, as "First World Problems" go, I guess this qualifies Comment from : @unreliablenarrator6649 |
|
Since when a 2k bike it's affordable or cheap? This industry has gone crazy Comment from : @SrD |
|
If I was going for a new bike id go for the Cube agreeless than 3000 eurosim happy with mechanical groupset Comment from : @marky1974 |
|
Bring back direct mount brakeslighter and cheaper and perfect for most leisure cyclists Comment from : @marky1974 |
|
Cannondale CAAD 13 for $2300, supersix carbon 105 $3200, Pinarello Paris 105 $3200, Pinarello Paris Rival axs 12sp $4600, Pinarella Prince Ultegra $4950, Cervelo Caledonia 105 $3200 just off the top of my head Comment from : @carlcole9026 |
|
It's a piss take I am in the trade Get on this example A 9 speed quick link is about £3, a 12 speed quick link is £15 WTF !! Comment from : @sixy69 |
|
I reckon you get more value for money (sub £2000) with a high quality aluminium frame Comment from : @CastleKnight7 |
|
Something with more of an endurance geometry because no one reading this is a pro racer and doesn't need their arse in the air when they ride Comment from : @IverKnackerov |
|
Wasn't DA banging on about affordable bikes the other week being in the 5 k Range? Who's the new pay cheque from this week, let's find out folks Comment from : @dicconhill5593 |
|
Pinarello Paris is a superb bit of kit for £3250 Dogma DNA and a decent group set Add a set of carbon wheels and it’s a real contender Comment from : @williamthomas4 |
|
Got the Canyon Ultimate CF SL 7 eTap, no visible cables and sram rival eTap, also aerohandlebar and lighter than the normal CF SL 7 for 3,8k Euros Comment from : @chqcey |
|
I think you should start looking into high value for money brands like Polygon Comment from : @mavericklimsk |
|
Wow how prices have changed a couple of years ago the rim brake version of the tcr tiagra would cost around a grand 😳 Comment from : @ultramagnetic99 |
|
Off topic, but does anyone know what bike is at 0:06 Love the look of it, but can't figure out what bike it is Comment from : @stephenburke2206 |
|
Why is the Cube so overlooked? I never see them in videos like this but they offer massive value for money and the bikes are absolutely great Very high specs for comparably low pricesbrThe Cube Agree C:62 Race is a beast of a bike with an Ultegra Di2 for 3500 euros Comment from : @steffanaarts-greven1352 |
|
I miss the german brand Stevens They make fantastic bikes for good prices in my opinion Comment from : @Pfeifenmarsmaes |
|
Any love for Ribble bikes? Comment from : @charlesmcguffy |
|
3500 euro for a 105 mechanical groupset carbon race bike, we're screwed guys Comment from : @warchalify |
|
2022 bike prices are insane that why people look for alternatives like aliexpress or direct Chinese brandsbrWorth to mention that quality of Chinese brands bikes(Ican,farsport or winspace) are sometimes even better than western brands Comment from : @NewPolishScientist |
|
Дисковые тормоза, им место в Велокроссе Comment from : @samvelamamjian5260 |
|
2-5K!?! 😂 How many people actually race? Why do you need a sub 8kg bike with all the bells and whistles As long as it fits, and is enjoyable to ride, you’ll be happy Your title doesn’t specify “race” road bikes, by the way Comment from : @stuartmisfeldt3068 |
|
How 3500 quids is supposed to be ok for many of us? The cycling industry is loosing so much by making sure people that would be interested in this sport won’t because of the price tag! Crazy Comment from : @megustasonia |
|
What about Ribble bikes…they’re really good value Comment from : @Bellissimovolere |
|
Its the rider not the bike that is imprtant Comment from : @freedomaipros |
|
Cinelli pressure anyone? Comment from : @TBATTIECYCLING |
|
And don’t we know that there was probably a giant model that was closer to your upper price range figure which would blow the others away Comment from : @markhagen7777 |
|
Too expensive Do under 2k Comment from : @robertsandiford6223 |
|
Cube Agree c:62 Pro Amazing bike with SRAM Rival Axs etap for €3000 euro What more could you want Comment from : @onmyway111 |
|
David Arthur think there is scam as I've been messaged saying I've won a competition by yourself and to contact You? Comment from : @stevepolhill3295 |
|
Remember the days when £1500 would buy you a decent 105-equipped road bike? That wasn't that long ago I bought a Canyon Endurace AL with 105 for under a grand less than 10yrs ago! This is profiteering plain and simple, likewise all the 'upgrades' like discs, 1x, and integrated cabling (which is undoubtedly the worst 'innovation' in non-pro cycling) Cervelo Soloist, 105, good value at £3500 Listen to yourself David! Comment from : @2wheelsbest |
|
Shame you did not include the Orro Venturi Brilliant bike, really quick and great value Comment from : @thepict5886 |
|
I'm still a strong believer in 2nd hand Facebook Marketplace finds from a guy who upgrades his bike every couple of years! Comment from : @ericbarfell |
|
In Australia, we got Merida Nice bike and good value Comment from : @kennysetiabudi6575 |
|
My old £1500 rim brake TCR is all the bike I'd ever need I can't see that a more expensive bike making my rides more enjoyable or significantly faster Comment from : @chriswhite5843 |
|
In Canada the Cervelo Caledonia with 105 mec retails for under CAD $5000 If I could only find one Comment from : @maxgonzalez214 |
|
Gurnigel Pass west side @ 9:44 :) Comment from : @tomatessechees |
|
5000 still waybr too much for most even considering the tech etc Just not worth it Comment from : @leighcoulson2148 |
|
The market is just getting absolutely insane 3k for a tiagra groupetwhat a joke !! The second hand market on rims or good value for money Disk is the way to gowhat js the point buying brand new bikes at the moment Comment from : @Alex-bh4um |
|
Worth pointing out that if you're buying a £2,699 Canyon you'll be an extra £540 Import Duty/VAT into the UK Glad I bought my Canyon pre Brexit! Comment from : @cliffsmith3376 |
|
I got the Giant TCR advanced 3 as my first road bike and I just love it! Plan to upgrade sets as I go along Tiagra groupset is sufficient to start with :) Comment from : @romeoardael |
|
Excessive pricing often sees people hanging on to what they have and they just update parts as required Probably not a bad thing for the environment too Comment from : @glennoc8585 |
|
I think 4k is the most anyone ever needs to spend on a bike if there is no world class elite competition in your schedule even a 4k bike, could win a grand tour stage, so yeah Comment from : @blinzi69 |
|
Orbea Orca M30/40 👌 Comment from : @kamilpagaz6460 |
|
Their is a plethora of bikes under 5 grand One of the best value would have to be Merida Reacto, Scultura and Scultura Endurance! Comment from : @McLovin38FFs |
|
Good video as usual Re your tubeless ready comments: I recently bought a tubeless ready Trek Domane from the local Trek store I had it converted from tubeless to inner tube before I picked it up - I'm not interested in fussing with messy sealant The Trek store told me that the majority of road bikes they sell are similarly converted So Trek, by shipping tubeless ready to the store, is wasting a lot of people's time Comment from : @DaveIngs |
|
What about your Yoeleo R12 against these bikes? Comment from : @travispyle2905 |
|
Got a tcr advanced pro 2 disc recently with 105 setup and god damn that bike is brilliant for only $3800-$4600 AUD depending on dealer / sales Huge step up over 2nd hand Facebook AL 2011 bike I’d had for previous 2 years Comment from : @CameraJosh |
|
The Giant TCR isn't available w/ Tiagra in the US A Giant TCR Advanced 2 is $2900 US dollars Disc brake or Rim Brake for $2500 US dollars Comment from : @RickeyGarrett |
|
5k is a bling bike even by todays standards Unless you are a pro, you won’t really see any benefits spending over that Comment from : @usman5140 |
|
thanks!👍 Basso Venta?🤔 Comment from : @michaelr8402 |
|
The Vitus aero ultegra bike is very interesting Comment from : @donwinston |
|
Why spend more? Because if I'm going to launch myself down the road at speeds approaching 40mph, I don't want my wheels to explode or my handlebar to crack while steering or my brakes to fade me right into the back of a truck or car that panic stops in front of me I think $2K is the floor for a serious roadbike Comment from : @solitaryrefinement6787 |
|
I think at £2799 the Canyon Endurace CF SL 8 with full mechanical Ultegra disc groupset, one-piece carbon bar and stem, plus a power meter is surely the best value bike out there at the moment If only you could actually buy one! Comment from : @ManorMoose |
|
Great list What about Polygon bikes? Comment from : @keithooi5950 |
|
Great to see Vitus getting some love Vitus Vitesse Evo could be in part 2 of this video series Allez Sport or Allez Sprint too maybe? 🤞 Comment from : @darthvulcanis4002 |
|
I just spent £160 on a mint 2nd hand steel road bike, it has decent shimano gears and shifts superbly It’s a bit heavy but a lovely ride & great for fitness, I don’t race so speed is irrelevant Comment from : @HarryBunnGRVOTV |
|
Davis another great video and review Curious why you would not consider more endurance geometry bikes versus the race focus Caldonia, Endurace, Defy, etc Good value and more of what everyday riders can fit into Comment from : @piratepediatrics |
|
Any reason the Soloist is less expensive than the R5 or S5, or does this just give us insight into the markup on those bikes? Comment from : @danielbiederman5408 |
|
Specialized sl6 sport et comp excellentes base ,j’ai un sl6 sport que j’ai fait évolué c’est une bombe !!! 73kg en roues de 60mm ! Je n’arrête pas de progresser à son guidon bon le miens est en dura ace mécanique et manettes 105 j’ai un peu de tout dessus mais je suis sous les 5000€(je l’ai payé 2000€ en 2020 il était affiché 2800€ et maintenant 3500😠) Comment from : @littlevo9 |
|
A list of good value bikes without a Cube, Rose or Merida? Comment from : @woutervanboxstael5073 |
|
That's why I went Chinese Comment from : @itscliffvtr |
|
Good choices just purchased a giant defy 1 a great bike for less than £2500 Comment from : @MrCreamlover |
|
Nice informative presentation Would be great if you were to consider doing a 'winter bike' special - low cost (say sub 2500, easy self maintenance (ie rim brakes / mechanical GS) and with mudguard clearance) Comment from : @johnflynn4923 |
|
Very nice presentation Nice to see that there are reasonably priced bikes that are worth riding Of course, I also have a suggestion: Basso Astra Take a look Comment from : @williamm3542 |
|
Our sport is becoming golf People on these kinds of bikes are passengers not riders which is very sad Like maany I ride MTB as well and it's even worse in that sport All I will say is cycling is in a great place regarding participation and covergae, mayb this is the price we pay It does hurt to to new people to the sport being taken for a ride though It's ok stick itt on finance🙄 Comment from : @G36-j6r |
|
Interesting list, David I have 2 of the bikes you mentioned, 2019 Canyon CF SL (Ultegra mech) and 2021 Giant TCR ADV PC2 (105 mech) I paid less than $5,000 dollars combined for both of them Let's just say I'm having a lot fun for cheap 😎 Comment from : @elmerrichardson6413 |
|
The cleverest thing the bike industry did was convince people that sub 5k was affordable Comment from : @asams7255 |
|
Boardman ADV 90 all season/gravel bike is also worth a look at, especially at as it's under £2k with grx 600 and carbon frame Comment from : @Lander76 |
|
You are normalizing the price increases by putting it at 5k, a sum, anyone would have called insane a few years ago Comment from : @yarlon2014 |
|
Good luck trying to buy a canyon never any in stock Comment from : @stevepolhill3295 |
|
What kind of insanity is it that we're looking at these amazing bargain bikes between 3 and 5K? I have a 4 year old Pinarello Gan with Ultegra Di2 that I put together new for about 3K The median salary in the UK is about 25K so spending almost a quarter of your salary on a bike is supposed to be a bargain?
