2024 Tour De France Bike Prices - Ranked

[@bikeradar]

Correction - As a few of you have pointed out, Lidl-Trek's Madone SLR 9 AXS Gen 8 can be bought for £12,500 / $13,500. In the pricing details we were given, the team model was listed as a Project One bike at the $17,000 we quoted. Sorry for this error. Liam

[@michaelbauer8778]

Same goes actually for rb Bora habsgrohe. You can get it the tarmac sl8 for less. But with the rbbh paint job and some special SRAM paints, you pay more. Technically it’s a sl8 with red

[@michaelbauer8778]

Oh I see, you have listed them twice. Smart

[@SonnyDarvish]

If you're purchasing a $10,000 bike online from the other side of the world, it would be the same price (if not cheaper) as travelling to the manufacturer, visiting their country for a week, get the right bike fit and change the components, instead of paying a $2000 import tax. You're welcome ☺

[@kallewirsch7915]

I never paid an import tax on a bike. Living in the EU.

[@reyogalino1225]

great idea! very realistic! and as you land at the home country you can pretty much ride and go!!!

[@screaming_quagga]

The look for sure

[@inferno4001]

Best tip!! I've saved at least 15.000 euros in the last 10 years, building my own bikes with mostly discounted, but top tier frames and components...

[@wj_desmond2252]

@@kallewirsch7915 Canada doesn't need it as well, we have the CEUT. We don't need to pay the tariff tax for bikes. For example, Canyon. However, UPS doesn't seem to understand that it is made in Germany and will then charge you the 13% duty plus all of their associated fees. So Canadian people, make sure you self-clear your package.

[@biotyst.8048]

Comparing prices with the results of aero and rigidity tests from Tour magazin, the bike with the best quality-price ratio is by far CUBE Litening (aero or Air)

[@matthewkramer8613]

MSRP pricing is what is suggested. These days it seems the bike industry seems on sale. Often 1k plus off. Still 12k for a bike is as much as a cheap car or motorcycle. The sweet spot for retail I believe is around 2.5-3k. The committed enthusiast may pay about 3-5k. Still it's fun to see all these high end bike get the put to the test 2with the world best cyclist. Thanks guys!

[@MichaelSmith-fn1ci]

Has to be Colnago for me, although I opted for the c68 over the V4RS as used in the TDF….

[@jamiefarrell6496]

Just bought an Ostro VAM…the Enve Melee and Giant Propel were also on my shortlist. The new Van Rysel aerobike would definitely have made the list too - that grey/marble colourway is fantastic

[@cmarnold78]

The Trek Madone is actually showing here in the US as ONLY.... USD13,500.... I think the extra 4k would be for a custom Mads Petersen style paint job above a beyond regular team bike replica cost.

[@inferno4001]

😂 The replica version will only cost you about 1200 euros (frameset and handlebar), shipping cost included!

[@batbawls]

5:33 Let me just say that this Bianchi is absolutely hideous. Thanks, I hate it. But if money was no object, I'd go with the SuperSix or the Colnago.

[@jaybikes99]

What did Trek do to upset you? The team paint job Madone is £12,500 on their website

[@AllanPhillips]

I suspect they're looking at the Gen 7 prices by mistake.

[@theotheroneb1548]

They were likely looking at the full custom project one with all of the most expensive possible components and paint.

[@rideSYV246]

Thanks for the video! I would say the Trek Madone SLR9 DuraAce. Test rode one, love the geometry fit!

[@inferno4001]

But is the slr8 version still worth buying? I can buy my friends slr8 pretty cheap as he wants to get the newer version....

[@kylewish3949]

I've just bought the merida team, from a tcr sl both dur ace top spec and the merida is a rocket. Double the price of tour bikes is ridiculous for tiny gains if any at all imo.

[@hifoad]

Agree! I have both Reacto and Scultura and they’re still the best.

[@markj.a351]

I still have the 2018 Reacto and it's an absolute weapon. Praying the new gen frame is coming for 2025.

[@talibe801]

80 per cent of the frames nowadays are very similiar in geometry,the paint and the wheels makes all the diference.

[@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589]

& are made in one of half-a-dozen Chinese/Taiwanese factories.

[@talibe801]

​@@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589yes they are.

[@rodcosta2345]

Jayco's TCR is the one I'd get.

[@driver_18]

Giant TCR!!

[@GoodToCU88]

This is some insane prices!

[@tolitsdterrible4785]

It would be Cervelo S-5. I think it's a good all rounder. Problem is, I don't have the money. 😊

[@dausmoithai6198]

Merida Reacto just fine by me

[@bikeradar]

Which bike (or paint job) is your favourite?

[@justingrout8037]

Has to be enve, so class

[@Merkaba85]

The correct answer to that question is - and always will be - The Colnago

[@douglasbooth6836]

Trek.

[@jEsperesence]

Trek, Look and Cannondale bikes

[@TheChindoboi]

@@Merkaba85i second that! ❤

[@npwheaties]

Little bit of untruth with the Trek Madone. The stock bike they ride is about $13,500. They offer a specific Project One paint job that will jump the price up to 17K

[@smithandshortdogs]

Redbull frame with Di2

[@kjaesp]

You know I have a black/dark grey bike atm but I have to say that EF cannondale is quite nice actually. UAE and VM-LAB bikes come in second for me.

[@triscuitbiscuit]

The Trek price is incorrect. The $17K price is for the blinged out Chrome. The team edition is "only" $13.5K.

[@bikeradar]

I know. pls see the pinned comment. Liam

[@stokesyperth]

Why are Giant bikes so much cheaper in Australia?

[@jaapvandijk5550]

1. Tarmac SL8 2. Canyon Aeroad CFR 3. Trek Madone

[@EvilestGem]

SL8 is a bike that looks like it has Downs. That head tube, jaaaaaaysus.

[@Maryam-ue3vw]

How much is the weight of the bike?

[@ThomasZiegelbecker]

Still trying to decide between * Giant Propel * Cannondale SuperSix * Van Rysel or Canyon or Canyon Aerod too many beautiful and yet too expensive bikes :D yes the Tarmac is nice too ;)

[@bikeradar]

All fabulous options, but the Giant does it for me. Liam

[@asmarino888]

Do the bikes affect performance e.g. on sprint stage, is one bike more speedier than the other?

[@e-ziscorevii2568]

Yep at certains watts some are faites than others

[@e-ziscorevii2568]

Fasters*

[@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589]

A Winspace frame and wheel combo, for example, will set you back maybe $4K. Add groupset and build kit, and you're looking at a bike as good as any in the peloton for c. $7-8K. The extra $ for a name brand bike goes to buy the children of the boards of the western bike companies their next polo pony.

[@tomatokosir]

Mondrin paint scheme? It's Mondrian, after painter Piet Modrian.

[@HeadPack]

None of these. I would love to own a gen 7 Madone. That frameset is a piece of art.

[@jEsperesence]

Trek Madone gen 8 (Project one) Cannondale Supersix Lab71, Look Blade, Scott Foil, Bianche Ottre RC and Dogma F. Yup if I have around $130k USfor those bikes o mentioned. 😁

[@se7ensnakes]

Sorry i view these bikes as all the same. It is like watching the array of today's SUV and getting excited about either

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

Specialized or the Colnago.

[@mrwhiteshorts]

id have Nibalis SL4 in Remco's paint job with Super Record 80th anni groupset.

[@dfletcher3052]

I'd have to stick with GIANT!!!

[@ytb3748]

Fun fact, most those brands make 900% profit selling those bikes!

[@anasznva1263]

Sl8 v4rs madone very nice

[@beanbaguk]

So what we've concluded is the US manufacturer bikes are extortionate. There are some outliers but overall, US bikes are stupidly bikes. It's a shame as the Cannondale SSE Lab71 is stunning. Not that paint scheme mind, but most definitely on my fantasy list to replace my 2022 HiMod.

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

Why so expensive for a paint job? Does it make the bike faster?

[@bikeradar]

Everyone knows looks = speed... 😂

[@davefave4351]

Red ones are faster.

[@RyonBeachner]

UnoX isn’t using the VSRu, they’re on a new one called the VA, which at Eurobike they’ve quoted the frameset/bars at $5500 USD. So… Not the bargain pick any more

[@Mr._Moose]

I wish Cervelo would go back to Shimano.

[@msraffa4000]

I want it all😅

[@NewPolishScientist]

Jack Luke please do video about your brown rim brake gravel bike.

[@bikeradar]

Jack, stop making burner accounts 🫠

[@NewPolishScientist]

@@bikeradar haha.

[@krissk77]

Hav seen most of the frames online without the brand names... way cheaper...if you can build... please do way cheaper than these brand names... the components are easy to come by... the frames are the main culprits 😮

[@dom5491]

Giant or cannondale

[@timdennis2193]

When you convert these prices from pounds to AUS.. they are badically double.. what the hell... prices are just insane

[@ColeHenrich]

BOOO TREK BOOOO TREK BOOOOOOO TREK!

[@charlesredick9424]

The Trek.

[@cassior7460]

❤

[@JonReid]

Trek releasing a dud and then pricing it out it out of the market.

[@HanMoP]

Trek Mad1 or Mad One....

[@Maryam-ue3vw]

Specialized

[@inferno4001]

Rediculous that they make most top bike frames for use with di2 only!

[@abalabal8732]

Redbull and enve for me

[@brittle1]

whopping 20% VAT to the UK? jeez.. F brexit lol

[@vespacapetown5137]

cmon these prices arent that high - F1 mirror costs more than the whole bike budget for le tour...

[@duartesantos3535]

Those stems on the Bianchi's... 🥴

[@mikepearce8073]

I use a skin suit now. More comfortable than bib shorts and has pockets so no less practical. I think this idea will slowly replace bib shorts and jerseys as it just makes more sense. Cyclists are slow to adapt to change, so I expect it will take a while though.

[@Andy_ATB]

Really? You expect the average amateur cyclist to ride a skinsuit just because pros do? I don't think so....

[@Carlifurafollas]

In Spain you can find a brand new 2024 Orca Aero with 105 Di2 for under 3000€…

[@ED-gb8md]

Any suggestions, website, dealers? Thank you

[@albertmeyer8983]

Dollar price when almost nobody cycles in the US!!!Better put € prices 😂

[@mauort6870]

cannondale is the sexiest, but I hate them and would never buy it lol

[@uheRRRRRR]

Too rich for my blood

[@rayF4rio]

Didn't I see this video on GCN a few days ago??

[@bikeradar]

Yea Manon and Ollie beat us to it. We're checking for a mole in BikeRadar HQ ;)

[@Alimukz]

All overpriced. Road bikes are simple, not a lot to them (unlike e bikes and MTBs), yet cost 5 figures lol Think of the number of components and amount of materials you'll get in a basic cheap car compared to this shit

[@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589]

Why are the bike channels chasing this idiotic red herring? The cost arrangement that pro teams 'pay' (if any) for the bikes bears no relationship to any retail price that could be charged, per discrete bike, to ordinary schmo customers, for something that is similar. They agree on a 'service charge' per year, made up of a stated and agreed quantity of frames, groupsets, tyres, build kits and all the ancillaries, sourced from one or several manufacturers, or their Tier One distributors. I've been responsible for deals done with ProContinental teams, on behalf of manufacturers, and this sort of speculation is of no use nor accuracy, at all. Worst of all, the journos, if they are at all competent, know this; yet are acting in bad faith towards their reader/viewership, perhaps with the connivance, or blind-eye-turning, from various brands.

[@LFMC1]

This is totally non-sense! How come bikes with the same components and almost similar frames, can have such a disparity on prices?!?!

[@bikeradar]

Marketing

[@Nick-cs5yc]

Still too expensive!!!

[@sirakjos]

Trek

[@abalabal8732]

1st

[@amonynous9041]

they have to make a competition who buys the most expensive wins, what has biking come to. Dear Fred dentist technician if you're reading this, you bloody poseur, I can beat you in a 30 years old bike anytime anywhere.

[@marccarter1350]

Try telling this to the rich Wannba be pro's at the local sportive. Its never the bike you are on, its the Drugs you use to help you go longer, faster!

[@pinoyeh]

As much as would want to own one of the bike that was featured on this video, my wallet/credit card/savings account dictates me to suspend my intent. Thus, will stay with my 2023 Felt VR60 as it GETS THE JOB DONE...!

[@rsaric3950]

tax for fools!.

[@hcw199]

Any amateur paying that sort of money for a pushbike is a mug!

[@vinekeep1]

my Avanti Montari hardtail mtb @ aud900 is quiet fine thank you.

[@Vinch22]

I will stick to Specialized especially with the Rval Rapide CLX II wheels love it, love it!
