Not that there’s anything wrong with the current version though! $15k for a bike? Welp.

Even the 5.5k bike is at the upper limit of what could be considered a high tier bike. The most brilliant idea that companies have come up with in recent years has been to convince amateurs that they need all the latest technology reserved for the pros.

When you argue that you are paying for innovation in engineering, you are always paying for the engineering of what the UCI allows, and never for the full engineering of what would be possible without UCI rules. On top of that most of these Cycling firms don't even build their own stuff anymore. So the innovation/engineering argument falls on it's head from the start.

I've learned to be cautious when spending on a bling bike these days and not focus too much on the paint and groupsets. They make a difference sure, but I want to be sure that frame is built to spec. Sprinting on it is good test to judge frames but it's what you can't see that makes the quality argument. Is the bottom bracket machined center? Are there voids in the layup? And definitely - if -only- spending 5k on the lower tier bike, how do the layups compare in quality to those the mold was designed for? Different fibers behave differently especially in tight radius curves.

I can tell you from my time as a mechanic that bonded threaded sleeves in carbon frames can be a problem down the line. The bonding can fail over time due to pedalling forces, degregation of the bond and insertion and removal of the bottom bracket. I saw a number of road frames that failed due to the stresses and strains of riding and maintenance. Trying to get said frames warrantied was difficult to say the least, I'm looking at you, Trek.

The Water Bottle Cages: Wow others are doing something besides BMC! But uhhhhh this looks like a step back if all it is is just a smushed bottle making it not round making it half as likely to seat into its proprietary bottle cage. I was expecting more of an aero fairing offering. Their compostable Water Bottle Branding shown off at the race launch was way better. $10K+ branding seems to be the top end bike stating to consumers that it is still good for another 5+ years. Which while it is okay given the UCI's reluctance to adjust rules such as the dreadful 6.8 KG weight limit. This doesn't exactly bode well knowing that it will instantly become outdated if the UCI rules are even levied even a little which has been shown by the amount of bikes that are present in hill climb events that break it.

@@the.communist Prices are ridiculous only if you look at the highest end. The 5500 one, in today's market, is pretty well priced. You get the latest Ultegra Di2, carbon wheels, carbon handlebars, integrated cables (with a nice solution at that, apparently), good tyre clearance and a nice looking (IMO) frameset. In today's market that's pretty good. I think, off the top of my head, it undercuts most other brands in this "tier" of bike. Of course, the quality of the standard components remains to be seen, but it seems like a good deal in principle.

according to what I see worth price tag is a maximum best on the market, if it's not, you cant ride a bicycle.

Still a KILO heavier than my evo with sram red I bought from an attorney for 800USD lol. Mine is USA made too VS made in China. Dont get me started on how slow these new road disc bikes climb and sprint. The frames are so flexy trying to cut weight. Hookless rims blow tires off and you have to ride 50-70psi so you feel like you are riding your gravel bike on the road lol. The only quality thing about this video is the edit. You are right NCC they are all the same thesedays because they are coming from the same factories in Xaimen. They are all flexy, heavy, less aero due to rotors and spokes catching the wind and are a PITA to work on and travel with. We wont get started on the price again. They have NOTHING on the rim brake models they 'replaced'.

I remember when you could buy the same ride experience for a third of the price just 16 years ago.

Really well made video Jeff and honest opinions all the way. The paintjob of the “low” tiered models is not of my liking. I own the previous model on a black that pretty much resembles the top one and I think they could have done a better job on the Ultegra models in terms of color. Looks cool other than that

When every bike is being engineered to maximize for the same things of course they all look the same.

This bicycle obviously is worth the price to people who buy it. This is Economics 101.

The streerer tube/end of stem plastic cover 5:13 is lousy, the profile of the stem is not continuous.

One could build a 6.7kg disc winspace for a third of the price.
