Top 7 BEST Aero Bikes For 2025 | Fast, Stiff & Surprisingly Versatile!

[@highfived]

No giant propel ? great value and great looking bike and it’s was in the tour.

[@googlesucks4399]

So exactly how much does Soecialized pay you and your company for this top spot? You lead off the Tarmac description by referencing its round tubes shapes. Since when did round tubes become aero? Then you reference the wheels as being a major attributor to being an aero bike . So is the Tarmac still the most aero if you put on 30mm climbing wheels? It might be a well-proven winner but don’t think we are fools for believing this is the most aero bike on the market, it’s just a matter of Specialized having deep pockets to pay for this endorcement.

My thought exactly!!!

[@petersouthernboy6327]

Haters gonna hate. I dont own one, but the riders in my club with an SL-8 are in love with it - and they owned other bikes on this list.

If you look at the independent wind tunnel testing of the german magazin "Tour": The SL8 in their test method has 209 Watts for 45km/h. Which is slightly better than the SL7 (210 Watts). Other bikes they tested: - Simplon Pride 2: 199W - Storck Aerfast: 201W - Canyon Aeroad: 202W - Cervelo S5: 202W - Cannondale SystemSix: 203W - Factor One: 206W - Scott Foil: 206W - Cube Litening: 207W - Steven Arcalis: 207W - Trek Madone: 207W - Van Rysel RCR: 207W - Pinarello Dogma F: 208W - Sworks Venge: 208W - ... - Colnago V4RS 221W (perhaps the most successful bike in the last year) So not the fastest, but not slow either. But overall they still gave the SL8 the best ever overall score of 1,3 (best being 1,0), because of the stiffnes, weight and compliance. Aero testing is not as scientific as bike brands make you believe though. It all depends on the test method. I would say that all modern aero bikes are more or less the same with a small lead infront of climbing bikes like e.g. the cervelo r5 (around 230W in the Tour wind tunnel).

Your best aero bike 2024 was Look Blade.....now it is not even in top 7. What happened in those couple months?

[@petersouthernboy6327]

The Blade is rather dated, tbh.

[@wfsGROM]

@petersouthernboy6327 bike released before 2024 season is dated?

[@petersouthernboy6327]

@@wfsGROM even though it was “refreshed” in 2023 - it looks dated to me. Just my opinion. But I will agree with you that leaving it out of this years list is suspect. Highly suspect

[@Viamscience]

Very suspect.

8.2kg for the S5, that's bonkers. My aluminium CAAD 10 is sub 7kg with Ultegra 8000 and still on aluminium bars and probably cost me less than the handlebars and bottle cage on the S5. People have more money than sense. For the cost of the full S5 bike I could travel the world and experience a race on every continent on my trusty CAAD 10 and still have change left over for a coffee and sandwich. The world has gone mad!

[@Frankienoname0]

I have a Felt AR Aero, would love to see a review of if.

[@alifeinlycra5622]

No Bianchi Oltre RC either. Maybe it’d scare younger viewers.

[@floam11]

The speed sniffer helps to contribute to an increase in stiffness to weight ratio?

[@Millicente]

The melee really does just look like an sl7 doesn’t it

[@petersouthernboy6327]

If an SL-7 had 35mm tire clearance and a UDH hangar.

[@jasonbanales4447]

No Orbea Orca Aero?? 😞

[@angelfranciscomarinolmedil7070]

No Bianchi Oltre???? Really??? I own an Oltre Pro and it is fast reslly really fast, handling is superb and more over it climbs also really really fast Looks like Bianchis has not enough money to pay reviewers It is a shame for a fucking rocket

[@jacksonmah90]

For its aweful looks alone it shouldn't be on any good list. One of the most ugly bikes out there.

[@royanderson3478]

Evo 3 wheels are a joke. All bike manufacturers put on Showroom wheels only for test drive 🚗.

[@petersouthernboy6327]

Well, that's on the goofy reviewers for trying the lowest tier Evo against bikes twice its price.

My cat watched this video with me and now thinks she can be a star too. It's time for her to audition✨

[@m1093Estrellala-u6k]

This video made me reevaluate my priorities. More laughter, more joy, more KZbin🔥

[@m1093Enana]

If our every day started with a video like this, we would always walk around with a smile to our ears🌺
