The BEST Cycling Products And Bikes That We Tested In 2023!

[@jeffabitz1195]

I am skeptical that money to the reviewer translates to a “Best” rating.

[@jonathanzappala]

Then why did you bother watching?

[@jeffabitz1195]

Great information regardless. Thanks

[@dubwars]

How many drinks did your writers have before making that Top 10 Bike List? A.) 9 B.) 11 C.) 13 D.) Can't recall

8:03 I spilled coffee. I thought I heard Rim Braker Sunglasses. Dang!

[@M3GRSD]

I got my GP5000 AS TLR at a bargain price of $45/tire. They're pretty fantastic too.

[@happydays8171]

Thank you for this video. Tires, in Cycling Plus mag, 12/23 edition, Challenge Criterium RS came in 3rd for the amount of rolling resistance at 12.18 watts per tire. Pirelli P Zero Race TLR came in first at 11.86. But if you're saying they are the best all rounders, will have to give them a look. My Specialized S-works Turbo 2BR's are burning 14.32 watts, but are they ever comfortable.

[@Aiden.K]

Good catch!! lol. Love this channel n ur ratings on cycling stuff

[@nimblybimbly4002]

7:34 Micro-USB is a dealbreaker for me these days. I'm sick of keeping a basket of various cord types. If it doesn't charge wirelessly or via USB-C I'm not buying it anymore.

[@cappaculla]

Bucket of cord types?? Currently I can think of two commonly used...

[@nimblybimbly4002]

@@cappaculla You must be younger than me.

[@jonathanzappala]

I would say the opposite, everything used to change on micro usb, one cable. Now they want usb c and tell me it’s great, when it’s a new cable that doesn’t work with my old stuff? No micro usb is just fine as it is for lights and garmin.

Although I own a Vitus Vitesse) and love it. Pity the brand might not be around for too much longer. If you can find the evo and buy one, ensure you buy a couple of spare hangers just in case you need replacements in future

[@savagepro9060]

0:12 No No No Jamie, your practical algorithm is warped. 1. You had to catch the helmet first, 2. Put it on, 3. THEN safely catch the other objects! 4. And AVOID 0:20 🤭🤭🤭

[@diehardbikes]

While i love Bontrager products, i must warn everyone: thier rubber doesnt grip very well at ALL in the wet. If you live in a place where the ground gets wet, avoid this tire at all costs. Bontrager rubber does VERY badly on wet pavement. No grip or confidence, at all. If you live in a dry place, like Arizona, you should buy as many of those as you can when they go on sale. They are great to ride on, and they are good tires.... granted they arent Challenge handmade ride quality tires, (which is truly exceptional, Challenge handmade tires truly do incredibly well at eliminating road buzz and chatter), but they arent thst far off from what a tubed Continental GP4000 ll felt like. A tire that i rode for about 3 years, even after the GP5000s came out. So beware of those R3s in the wet. Great in the dry.

[@T.I.M.5]

This clown is saying wheels “just under a grand” is the problem. We as average consumer riders need to flat out STOP buying this overpriced Kit. It’s time to send a message to the bike and bike gear companies.

[@BrianRPaterson]

Clown is harsh. But I agree entirely about normalizing the idea that 1000 quid wheels are bargains is a problem. Personally, my upper limit is about half that, which is why I ride comparatively "heavy" alloy wheels. My bike comes in at 9kg on the dot. Sure, I could pay three or four times the price for something under the UCI limit. But I'm 2-3 kg over my ideal weight at the moment, so I can get the total system weight down significantly for zero quid just by riding a bit more.

[@T.I.M.5]

You’re right. It was ,apologies. There seems to be a disturbing trend to price every day riders out of the game. When I spent 1500 on a bike only to be told it’s an entry level thing.that can really piss a person off. The whole sport seems to be going that way.

[@BrianRPaterson]

@@T.I.M.5 Absolutely. You are spot on. My brand new bike has been obsolete for half a decade. I just found a "new" 2017 Cannondale Slate in the CX1 build sitting in the back at my local bike shop. I guess the design was too extreme, which is why Cannondale stopped making them. Or perhaps nobody wanted to buy an outdated alloy model. Either way, the shop sold it to me for about half the original MSRP. BTW: It didn't cost anything like the super wheels Road CC reviewed. It came in at just over twice the price of the bargain carbons. Not exactly chicken feed, but decent value for a 9kg gravel bike with a scifi carbon Lefty fork. BTW2: The bike the Slate is replacing is a 20-year old Cannondale XS800 cross bike. The only reason I changed it was to get a bike with disc brakes. Now it's on my smart trainer!

[@Mas421]

it s just a KZbin-marketing-game…. 😜

[@wandering_pete]

@@T.I.M.5 One issue with such review type videos is they're not based on any quantifiable measures, it's all opinion. So people "in" the cycling industry, like the guys here at road cc, CGN, etc. get to see and test all the shiny new kit, which skews their perception of what the average rider wants and needs.

[@jwfriar]

That Campy super record is the worst group set amongst SRAM or Shimano, looks terrible and costs the most. Come on guys If you buy campy, you go old school mechanical

[@savagepro9060]

I think Campy's last glorious groupset was in the ten speed era! Everything else, at least, LOOKS ugly!

[@robbiek4400]

Ha ha, I knew I’d find weenies like this hating on the WRL. I have plenty of old school campy because I’ve been racing since old school was modern. But I also have an EPS bike and now a WRL bike too. It’s amazing perfection in function and form and those of us who actually own and ride it every day are the ones who know. When you know you know and when you have no clue you whine in comment sections. And btw, mech is dead. I didn’t believe it either until I found out for myself.

[@jonathanzappala]

If you can buy campy mechanical, why did you waste your money and not buy di2 I would say 😂

[@robbiek4400]

@@jonathanzappaladude I actually agree with you to an extent. I just built a Bianchi dream bike and really was planning on DA di2. Then I saw this absolutely insane looking frameset in person with all its Italian weirdness and beauty and realized I needed a ridiculous Italian gruppo to get the full experience. This was my once in a lifetime dream bike.

[@amirrabieekenaree1016]

Don't mean to be harsh but this video was useless! You can't pick the best bike or any other bike gear when you are simultaneously looking at all categories (e-bike, gravel, different road types)! Even if you pick one cycling type, like racing or endurance road bikes, you can't pick the best bike.

[@TenFalconsMusic]

Having a few "money's no object" cyclist mates... They don't go any faster or ride more comfortably than my "budget conscience" mates. My ceramic bearings but Continental Ultra Sport 3s puts me somewhere between the two.

[@80y3r9]

Get a grip As if you balloons could afford those wheels, useful stuff this was not

[@saitoyukio]

It's the same as the GCN, mostly expensive brands that normal people don't buy, £300 BB, wheels more expensive than motorcycles…
