The World’s BEST NEW BIKES: Pinarello, Bianchi, Trek, Wilier & Ridley Revealed!

[@neill3040]

Even if you have the money and you can afford to buy a $16,000 bike….please don’t. These companies have lost all shame and their greed is endless. Only when people stop paying for this nonsense, it will stop

[@davidryan4053]

Yes, the world has gone mad, but idiots, who are willing to spend this sort of money, do exist out there; and I bet you anything, they're probably over weight and slow bike riders. I'll stick with my beautifully restored, 1989 Raleigh 531c thanks very much. DR 🇮🇪

[@arnebollensen1017]

My bike is 20.000 € worth.😂❤😅

[@Jules-ne9em]

It’s like dura ace and other „high end“ cycling products, if you have to pay for it yourself, you don’t need it…

[@TheLimeCurd]

⁠@@davidryan4053You ‘wish’ rich people who spend $20k are dumb and over weighted but you forget how they made their money in the first place lol. Dumb and overweight people are highly unlikely to be drawn into cycling anyway. I doubt the possibilty but you should think outside the box. Not everyone has the same talent, intelligence level, success, financial capability as you. Spending $20k for something they enjoy is a no brainer for some.

[@ericandeddy]

I remember in 2008 or so going on a cycling forum and saying $8k for a new Pinarello Dogma was outrageous. I was harshly criticized (granted it was Pinarello owners group) but I essentially said it was unfathomable that a bike costs almost half of a new car (back in 2008). Prices now are proportionally worse

[@Phaidrus]

Road bike prices have reached a remarkable degree of obscenity.

[@ashleyhouse9690]

I didn't think it would be possible but Pinarello have managed to make a bike even more hideous than the F.

[@jasonkatz8]

It's so ugly! It doesn't need to be this way!

[@artvandelay9345]

Couldn't agree more......they have perfected the terrible looking bike.

[@jeffandersen6233]

Well done video. I'm past the bids at 73. Started out in cut off jeans and Brooks B17,which I heated in an oven, oiled and beat with a seat post many times in one night and had it broken in. But I wouldn't do that again.

[@SrFederico]

- Pinarello had the Prince and Paris as race/endurance and endurance bikes before, but maybe that they didn’t sell too well. They always focussed their marketing solely around the Dogma. - Why would you want to compare somehow invented compliance figures for the back end with other somehow invented compliance figures from other brands? - Actually, the Talon Ultra is pretty comfortable.

💥💥💥💥$16,000 💥💥💥💥 Prices of bikes are getting really funny 😂😂😂😂

[@ellwitz9838]

Manufacturers have lost touch with reality. When I can spend less than half the money and get 95% of the performance I will opt out of the price race. Ultegra DI2 on a Vitus Vitesse for example will get the job done for anyone and not affect results or performance

[@DaveRider719]

The Vitus design is meeh. Don't look nice in my opinion

[@ellwitz9838]

@@DaveRider719it’s about performance not looks. If a unicycle was faster and met UCI regs that’s what the pros would ride

[@donaldduck5731]

Cool, my next bike will be a gravel bike with probably a 105 group-set, a carbon fiber frame and a total must, mountings for a rear pannier rack. Panniers just work, cantilevering a mass off the seat post isn't that smart if you ask me, just introduced huge bending moments and dynamic oscillations to the frame, bags on the top tube get in the way and you can't get your water bottles and bags on the front effect your steering/handling. Is it just me, I can't see why the whole world is suddenly against panniers, where do you put your food, drink, your woolly-pulley, and uber-heavy bike D-lock when your out for the day?

[@TheBassallyear100]

7.4 KG with SRAM Force on the FALCN is basically the same weight as the SL8 with Force using Fact 10r carbon layup and the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX also using Force. SRAM Force works very well but is not light.

[@loeffelm]

Just to say I have a Pinarello Paris: best endurance bike ever

[@marccarter1350]

16k. It's my new winter hack.

[@berndrocker161]

great bikes. For me, as a long-legged person (180cm/90cm legs), most race bikes can only be ridden with lots of spacers. Espeacilly since my neck hernie. However, endurance bikes are usually heavier, sluggish and not aero. Which fast and nimble bike with short reach, long head tube do you recommend?

[@myxti3669]

Seka exceed, superesix evo

[@Niala8419]

Giant, obviously 😂.

[@raiphtheimposter]

nice 1 willier, just think in a couple of iterations the gravel bike will be looking like a hardtail mtb haha. headshok suspension next and flex seat stays.

[@anteros3584]

What version of the Trek Domane AL would you say is best value? The claris is over a €1000 cheaper than the 105, meaning you could almost buy 105 di2 for that price difference.

[@davidarthur]

Yes looks like you could buy the cheapest one and put a 105 groupset on and be quids in, but unless you change everything yourself there's the mechanic costs. Also looks like the AL5 gets better wheels too

[@TheBassallyear100]

it's a shame they didn't make an ALR5 version at that price point or something close to it. 105 12-speed mechanical on a bike rated to fit 40c tires with a premium alloy frame would be an interesting alternative to the Checkpoint ALR5@@davidarthur

[@anteros3584]

@@TheBassallyear100 Any clues on how big the difference is in terms of quality between ALR and AL frames? Should I consider the Checkpoint ALR over the domane AL just because of the higher alloy quality?

[@TheBassallyear100]

@@anteros3584 a little bit lighter but mostly aesthetics. the trek welds on their ALR series are a work of art.

[@anteros3584]

@@TheBassallyear100 Makes sense, the welds online do look a lot cleaner indeed.

[@ThomasHubik]

Any question: Whats inside of that embargo box? I guess we will know soon.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Great video.

[@KenSmith-bv4si]

I would like the aluminum bikes more if they "Hydro-formed" the tubes into D-shaped or 3D printed head tube or bottom-bracket(threaded of course) and other parts like some titanium bike manufactures use.

[@Niala8419]

Theres an X1 and X3 in the X series. As well as the X5 and X7. So it starts at X1 not X5 as stated.

[@n22pdf]

Be great if manufactures showed vids of wind tunnel testing that compare there previous models to the new versions to show the new aero claims rather than just numbers.. just a thought 😊 Pete

[@DeStraatz]

What is Bianchi doing, they had some of the prettiest bikes in the pro peleton. But now they are looking like frames from a cheap chinese manufacturer

[@jackbutler4254]

The new Stigmata has longer axel to crown forks that match gravel suspension forks.

[@davidarthur]

Good shout, need to check that bike out

[@kisielekrlz]

New version of polish brand's gravel bike Kross Esker has the same geometry and philosophy behind it. You can put suspension fork or rigid fork, and there willbe many groupset options including microshift sword. Plus its aluminum or steel so it will be cheap and looks nice, i dont know about the shipment options.

[@stevesnailfish]

I do rather like the Domane and the Wilier.....and will be definitely looking forward to reviews.....but I did get a Synapse 4 a months ago, which is fabulous so far......n+1 perhaps ?

[@tordjon]

New Grail when?

[@davidarthur]

🤷‍♂️

[@JSC131]

The pinarello is absolutely bonkers money this sport is beyond most people back to the boxing club for me gloves only cost £30.00.

[@MAGAmaniac1000]

Pinarello is like “here buy this piece of artwork for $16K.” problem is it decreases in price substantially while still remaining incredibly ugly

[@thani7963]

SL 8!

[@christophertan3195]

dogma x let's go

[@oOoACFREEMANoOo]

Looks like a GT Grade. Get one way under 3000

[@gb4408]

I'm sick of aero, every bike looks the same, we ride at 40km/h not 400

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

La Bianchi pour route en Celeste bien sur et Ridley Cross Night pour CX !

[@stevenkates4876]

Two words : ENVE MOG.

[@ForeverDownByLaw]

Ooof… even in the beauty shots the Trek's welds look like chewed bubble gum. I would suggest an Orbea Avant instead, a brilliant bike for just a bit more money. Pay once, cry once as they say…

[@larryt.atcycleitalia5786]

Bee-ahn-key. This one is FUGLY.

[@cjohnson3836]

Given the proliferation of independent small scale fabricators, there's just no reason to spend the money with a mainline brand. They don't off innovation. And carbon isn't worth the money. So may as well get boutique and/or tailored to you. I'd take a Fairlight or RodeoLabs any day over these, if I'm going to spend that money.

[@Callmebutturblk]

I remember a good road bike like Colnago with campy is like $1,000 and biking road and mountain was popular and affordable. Now $16k outrageous only high tech exec can afford this and I don’t see as many road and mountain bikers on the streets. This industry is heading wrong direction like everything in USA.

[@davidarthur]

Was there ever a time a Colnago with Campag cost $1000 new??

[@Callmebutturblk]

@@davidarthur not rtr but frame and parts yes 😂 you're missing my point, regardless roadbikes back then was affordable and a cheaper alternative transportation which was the purpose of it. $16k ridiculous 😜🤣do us a favor and ride your $16k roadbike in NY on freeway see if you can go faster than car without stopping 😂😆
