Miles more comfort! | Best endurance road bikes 2021

Surprising that Trek’s Domane didn’t make this list😮

[@Andy_ATB]

No Synapse or Domane......

[@bazs7669]

Or Giant Defy...

[@smedleybutler1969]

Impossible how can you put the cube ahead of them!

[@trekmadone3225]

What about the trek domane????

[@meynard16mb]

Trek Domane best endurance bike

[@davidemarcelli608]

No Giant, no Trek..no party

[@alexben927]

No Trek Domane is an insult to endurance bikes. Period. This should be call 6 endurance bike to consider, but don’t call them best

[@kantace5198]

My criticism would be the lack of criteria or maybe their communication. A 9500£ Specialized, a Triban, a titanium bike + 3 others that fall somewhere between them.

[@doriangray2020]

Sorry but the domane is less than stellar IMO. Good bike for a beginner but nothing more.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

"Blurr the lines between race bike and endurance bike" - come on, please! Was there ever a "line", especially since bike racing has always been an endurance sport? And bike racing has always been done by athletes with the greatest endurance.

[@johnsfulton]

Like all the other comments on here where is the Trek Domane which is one of the best endurance bikes out there!

[@blizzbee]

It's too heavy to qualify...

[@dreyn7780]

When you decide to go on a trek, there's only 1 brand to choose from. You choose the bike that does the journey you want. It's probably great to ride around the domain. Race bikes just keep driving you to Albert Park race track every time you get on them. I'm sick of being taken to the race track. When we get to the race track the bike tells me to get off cause it's done It's job of going to the race track. I've got to watch the races from the public stand then get on the Home bike to be taken home. The race bike gets delivered to my house for the next race day. Then it'll take me to the race again.

[@tn9274]

Merida bikes are nice and value for money

[@kimsaeter]

I feel like the Orbea Orca OMR is missing from this list🤔

[@loujacob4263]

Trek Domane. Period.

[@ClydeHernandez-mf9nd]

This is my first road kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and I have taken it out a handful of times and so far it is exceeding all of my expectations. I didn’t want to break the bank on a first bike and the herd is a great option for getting a fast bike with reliable components. I plan on riding this bike for many years to come. Thank you Sava!

[@SteveBrill]

No Trek Domane on the list??

[@1lp1v]

i sold my domade 1 year ago, it wasn't the most comfortable bike

[@SteveBrill]

@@1lp1v I feel you would be in the minority on that view. But thankfully we’re all different.

[@cesartaboas4273]

BMC Roadmachine?

[@jaimehpaiva]

Let me put it in a polite way: the title is very misleading... At best!

[@philhouck3560]

A stiff frame is nothing new. I still have a Cannondale bike with a massive downtube. And the stiffness of the frame is a demerit, not a plus. A controlled amount of give in the bottom bracket, a flexible fork, wider and supple tires (32 mm isn't wide), rim brakes, and lighter tubing protect the rider from punishing vibration. Let's not forget that for many years, the pros specified bikes that were flexible because they knew that a bike that beat them up meant being an also-ran in the great tours. All I can see in these bikes is a transparent effort to rebrand racing bikes as endurance bikes.

[@DynamiteDB]

I’m looking for a Scultura Endurance ATM. Unfortunately not many of them are coming into Australia 😞

[@drandrewtan]

But it's available if you are willing to wait?

[@DynamiteDB]

@@drandrewtan I ended buying the Scultura 7000e model. I ended up deciding against the endurance model.

[@alexkennedy644]

@@DynamiteDB what was the reason not to go with endurance? What swayed you the other way?

[@DynamiteDB]

@@alexkennedy644 the Scultura 7000e is a better climbing bike, a little bit lighter than the endurance model and has a more aggressive geometry. The Endurance model would have been ideal if I wasn’t going to take cycling as seriously. I liked the endurance model because it looks better IMO but I’m glad I went with the normal Scultura, It’s tried and tested. This is the first release of the Scultura Endurance, so I might pick one up further down the track.

[@alexkennedy644]

@@DynamiteDB I am a bit the same. Have had hybrid and mountain bike before. Thinking for some weekend rides with some mates who have road bikes and some home fitness on a smart trainer to loose some extra KGs which I should get....scultura or scultara endurance. Not going to race ever but not sure yet what to get. Not sure of the trade-off by going endurance to my use case

[@wasupwitdat1mofiki94]

Nope! Didn't like any of those. What else do you have to show us?

[@highfived]

No giant defy one of the best selling road bike of all time ? To anyone reading this . what is the fastest endurance on the market ?

[@TeoSluga]

As endurance bikes are not aero, you will probably be faster on a lighter bike. Rim brakes.

[@highfived]

@@TeoSluga I know they are not aero just wanted to know what is the fastest endurance bike on the market out of interest

[@tomcolls9264]

Gladly elsewhere. They're both ugly bikes.

[@victorgarciablancozz]

Is there much difference compared to a fast and comfortable gravel bike? Diversity trough much better clearance, mudguards, cages...etc

[@michaelwillis4528]

Good job on making a list with some variety and leaving the angry comments section to point out the bleeding obvious. Delighted to see the Cube Attain get some of the lime light for once. I love mine except because it does things so well my what bike should I get next dilemma is difficult because I can’t decide whether to get something more racy and aero or something more rugged and gravel capable.

[@smedleybutler1969]

Great bikes but leaving out the Cannondale Synapse was a mistake!

[@brianford8493]

After my away game loss with a truck i picked up a Scott Addict disk 20......just brilliant,really brilliant.

[@mellord83]

do you mean the non gravel version? Seen a 2022 Addict disk 20 in prism green color in bike shop last week. Looked amazing!

[@armandoariza8488]

Grave omission: Trek Domane. This review is woefully incomplete without including it.

[@doxasnob8137]

I agree. I have one and love it, night and day from my old bike. My rides are usually around 50 - 60 miles and and not all the roads around here are good. Makes a nice difference. Very reliable and great Shimano Ultegra components. Also, the 32 wide tires are the best choice. Low rolling resistance and very good on tar snakes and expansion joints as well as rough chip seal roads. Ride on my friends.

[@carly200]

@@doxasnob8137 It is a great bike, but I don't like the Domane... It feels like a sluggish tracktor compared to other bikes. I prefer the more agile endurance bikes.

[@mellord83]

@@carly200 which ones are more agile? What about giant Defy?

[@carly200]

@@mellord83 I have no experience with the giant defy. Bikes that handle in a way that I little: cannondale supersix evo, cannondale synapse, spezialized Roubaix, Rose Reveal..... To name a few. But it really is a lot of personal preference and trial and error 😊

Perfectly fine without the Domane.

[@Rocky4719]

The allez are really nice too, even if they have rim brakes. My own allez is a remarkably reliable all weather commuter as well as mile muncher, surprised it didn’t get on the list 😔

[@sopiamarta8784]

it is not consider as endurance bike. more like aero race bike

[@bxckdoor9113]

Like many others, you haven’t included the trek domane, I mean it can go on gravel, cobbles, road endurance and you could race on it if you wanted to. I mean it genuinely is the best all rounder bike out there if you’re considering the top SLR versions. It’s not that heavy, it’s somewhat is aero, iso speed, carbon, wide tire clearance, endurance geometry. I mean are people in this comment section doing the work for you ?

[@tomaszkapusta9162]

I agree, where is Trek Domane with 2 x Isospeed, Also you may fit at least 35-38 mm tyre which which could be easily inverted to kind of gravel bike, road + or super comfy on crap quality of tarmac.

[@davidcurley409]

No Defy, Synapse or Domane strange.

[@roadcc]

You''re right. Most look awful. I recall that some of Cannondale's CAAD offerings had decent-looking welds. I don't remember which ones, but they compared favorably to the smooth welds on my titanium LeMond.

Nice variety. I wish Ribble and Cube were available in the US. I had the 2016 Roubaix and would have liked for Specialized to offer a future shock upgrade kit as opposed to having to buy a new bike. Instead of a new Roubaix I jumped ship to the Trek Domane and the feel and compliance of the Domane seems world's above the the 2016 Roubaix.
