영상 잘 봤습니다. 안그래도 솔로이스트랑 슈퍼식스중에 고민하고있었는데 R5를 사야겠어요 ㅋㅋㅋ

Do you have a review of the aethos? Would love to hear your opinions on it.

I just bought the DA C36, and I’m completely mystified how you get the silent coasting you demonstrate. For me, there’s plenty of the usual ratchet noise-just like every other hub with a DT Swiss-style mechanism. GCN’s review has the same noise, so I don’t think mine is defective. Are we looking at the same wheel? Mine is brand new from Shimano, purchased September 2024.

Love the content mate. Keep it up

Hey DC, great video as always. How would you compare these 2 bikes to the Canyon Ultimate you reviewed? I feel they’re in a similar category of lightweight all around race bikes

I am a bit confused, how come the SL8 is cheaper? I thought it's the other way around, is it the tarmac or the s-works?

Nice one. Any love the new Time AdhX?

Question, do you think if you sized up the frame on the super six you might have a more balanced feeling on it? It really looks quite small under you which makes me think it would likely be fidgety and top heavy. Curious. Thank you for your honest contributions to our community.

Awesome review, I've had two SSevo's in the past, both amazing, and want this version now, will stick with my Aethos and Synapse, looking forward to the Melee review, also tempted by the Fray😍

I always look forward to your reviews and comparisons, however this one did not sit right with me. I'm just going to cut to the chase, it's an unfair comparison because of the handlebars on both bikes, the Tarmac has bars from Factor, I get that the SS came with the frame as a deal, but you missed a great opportunity here. Being that you had an issue with the SS's cockpit, it could have completely turned you off to the bike, I'd feel the same if I had a noodle for a handlebar, change the bar, do it again, if not there will always be that "what if"....

Better set of wheels when buying a several thousand dollar bike. Just wow :) (I am aware there are wheelsets that cost more than a decent medium level bike)

Aethos vs sl8 please!

Would love to c at new dogma vs sl8 vs ss evo.

No one ever talks about how a bike carries speed on the flats.

Will be waiting eagerly for review of Melee vs SL8! Altho based on this video, can sort of guess where its gonna go 😊

Thanks!

Nice video. I’m in the process of completely renewing my 2012 super six. It will be built up as a hill climb bike specifically. It’s a bit twitchy up front but that super lite hi-mod frame is amazing…

I am happy to hear you will be reviewing the Ventum NS1, there are no videos of such for this bike, Ventum offers a great deal i want to see if it is worth it.

I find the SL8 very exciting and joyful to ride. It's not boring at all. It's akin to driving a Porsche. It begs you to go harder and faster. While riding it it has this distinct hum to it. I'm not sure if it's from the wheels or the frame.

Seem to me, Hi-mod Is above regular tarmac, lab 71 is above sworks. For similar sized bikes, the supersix runs small, 51 sse would be equivalent to a 54 tarmac, yet even though the sse has the longer wheelbase. A Longer wheelbase provides a more stable ride, not more finicky as you say. That longer wheelbase is in part due to a slacker head tube angle, which is what produces that top “heavy” feeling you describe, but will make the bike more stable on the downhills. Your sse had a set back seatpost, and because the front tire is further forward, the rear tire may have been weighted more than what you are used to, adding to a feeling of imbalance. There are useful tools online to view and compare bike geometry, so you can dial your bikes and get the feel and balance you like. Your “opinions”, which are still welcomed, would be richer if you contemplated the intricacies of geometry, fit, body type etc. You may have just lost a fabulous looking bike, because you did not dial it as you like. Further, the sse has a lower stack, the sse has a minimally lower bottom bracket height, so, physically , makes no sense that it feels “top heavy” compared to the tarmac unless it was not properly setup for you.

DC, awesome video…as usual. A pleasure to watch! Cheers.

Do you have any plans to try out a factor o2 vam? So curious to know how thatbike rides but there are so few reviews

i do own a tarmac sl7 and sl8 (in the sw version) and i totaly love them. but i do understand you're critics about the bike that it is to clinical and steril, in that way the sl7 has more spice to it, but the sl8 is lighter and has more complaince. keep up the great video's, greetings from belgium

Great one! Looking forward for Mac vs Aeroad 🙂

I’m leaning toward the SL8 based on ur comparison

Yeah man great vid Bro, please keep them coming!!! Yeah I would agree that the SL8 is a great bike but I haven’t ridden on because it’s way too expensive man!!! I might try an SL 7 first as others said that the sk 7 is smoother ride than the sk 8. I guess you have 28 c tires with psi of 70? I am still enjoying my Cervelo R3 which is lightweight at only 15.9 lbs with 28c tires. 😊

Thank you for the great evaluation for both bike

Throw the roval wheels on the sl8 and you will get the “missing” pieces you have the Shimano wheels which are not a good wheel for that bike.

Respect from Poland🫡well done👍🏻

I just found your channel - cool man, diabetic cycling, I presume you use cycling to stay healthy; I am a MD looking to start a cycling for health business and perhaps a future channel; look forward to seeing your channel develop; keep on riding

I have an SSEvo in a size 51cm and found the weight distribution too far back. Put a zero set back seat post with the saddle almost all the way forward with a 130mm stem. Changed the bike completely as now the bike rides WAY better.

Speed sniffer is directly copied from Pinarellos tech, I don’t know why they get credit for it

That's a sexy Mac you got there ;)

Great video as always. I like your bike to car analogy. It makes sense to me! I was reminded by the b-roll that I need to go riding in Solvang😊 Aebleskiver for breakfast 😁

Enjoyed the review. Can't wait to setup my sl8 frameset. As for the super six I am wondering how it would ride with a better handlebar? Would suggest you consider doing a review of the new Seka Spear.

curently own a supersix evo hi-mod that I build up myself. Recently put the momo handlebar on then done a 600km ride on the S6 with momo handlebar. Must say that the S6 & momo handlebar are made for each other, I also don't find the S6 to be off balance. The only fault I can find with this bike is the Seatpost crack problem, currently on my 3rd seatpost and it is damaged by the internal seatpost binder, same as the last 2 seatposts even though I am already on the blue internal seatpost binder, which is the latest... currently trying to find a solution for it while waiting for Cannondale to fix it permanently...

So 1 bike to rule it all, get the specialized tarmac sl 8

Your Supersix might have a void or some damage; mine is very well balanced. Your one piece handlebar might give that impression, too. The alloy stem with an Enve aero bar rides remarkably well balanced: side to side, front to back. Great videos!

I dont understand how your channel does not have more subscribers. You provide great and informative information and reviews.

Get a life!

Talk! My bad. Go buy another bke!

Do you realise you take utter shite to fill up your stuttering bullshit content! Bizzare.

Just found your channel, awesome.

Hi DC! Such a really good video, i enjoyed it. Always excited when you put out new video. Anyways, Do you think the soloist is still a good buy now that we are approaching the end of 2024 and having more options in the market? Thanks

What cream did you wipe the wheels down with?

I just stumbled onto your KZbin video and I find you, and your review very refreshing. You seem like you would honestly take on a new challenge. The challenge I want to present to you is clearly visible in the "first 3 seconds" of this video introduction. If you notice the fast spinning wheel is oscillating because the wheel has "No Rotational Balance". Fact is out of balance wheels create interrupted inertia which eats Watts like a big bowl of LuckyCharms. That said, I think everyone doing any kind of high performance comparison reviews should carefully balance the wheels first to level the playing field. The problem is aerodynamic tech on wheels have hit a barrier, so the next logical step to make aerodynamic wheels and bikes go faster is "BALANCE"! The reason wheel manufacturers avoid the subject is because they don't understand it and it's effects. Also they clearly don't know how to make a balance system that's 100% consumer, dealer, OEM and manufacturer friendly. Also there is no consumer demand, yet..... Frankly speaking wheel balance tech now, is just like aerodynamics was 30 years ago when I worked for the Japan Group. I would constantly ask ARAYA rim division to make aerodynamic shaped rims, only to be met with laughter and be technically ridiculed. Anyways, I'm going to e-mail you to give you some of my knowledge on the subject of wheel balance as I have been studying bicycle wheel balance for over 15 years. It would be nice to see someone like you be the first to fully understand this new technology and be the first review and introduce the added performance balanced wheels have to offer. By the way, I now live in Seattle, and from the looks of your video, that's Angeles Crest Hy in So Cal. When I was a Cat-1 I used to train all over that highway. Please look for my e-mail.

Hi, do you know if the soloist 105 and soloist 105 race frames have the same level of carbon? I was checking on mikesbikes website and they have different names

DC, still riding it?

Sir. What height of you to get the 52 size?

Gravel bikes need clearance for 50s. That allows for 47s with room for mud.
