I hate being the guy disagreeing with people making comments about how expensive bikes have become, but unfortunately, it’s our fault as consumers, we love the sport so we buy the bikes and up goes the prices If the sport wasn’t so popular, they’d stay cheap but that’s not the case anymore I’m not trying to undermine how expensive they have become but it’s because we keep buying them and are willing to spend the money that keeps the prices so high

Dave test the soloist please
Comment from : Oliver

i sold my tcr adv pro 2 disc 2021 it wasn't good for me
Comment from : Oliver

Love the canyon
Comment from : ChaosTravel716

My Canyon Ultimate CF SL8 I bought for $2,700 weighs 702kg and has basically carbon everything but the wheels were alloy dt swiss I got a bargain on lightweight carbon wheels brand new for $367 bringing the total of my bike to $3,067 and I am more aero and lighter than dudes with $8k+ bikes I race against

Giant has the press in bottom bracket what I don't like
Comment from : Good boy Ringo

I currently have the giant propel advanced disc 2 is that great?? It has a shimano 105 groupset on it
Comment from : Da Boizzz

Price inflation over the last 15 years has been obscene Thanks to cycletowork and other schemes has been the worst thing ever to happen to consumers The rich get richer whilst the poor have to walk
Comment from : Daniel Earlester

It seems these days nobody wants expensive bikesGood about time
Comment from : Paul Lacey

What do you think aero savings from a soloist to a tcr would be about?
Comment from : Iron Ore

I just bought last year’s Teammachine SLR01 from BMC, which was discounted Because I buy it from Germany and live in Switzerland, I profit from the strong Franc and get the difference between German and Swiss VAT back It’s all about finding the nice bargains
Comment from : Hetiswat

Hi, i recently bought a trek emonda sl carbon bike Is this a mid range bike? It cost just under 3,000brIt says entry level carbon trek, but guess that is not relevant as there surely are far more cheaper trek models making mine mid range?
Comment from : Landscape and monuments

Great overview I got here after your bikes for £2,000 I opted for a Vitus Vitesse so good to see them getting a mention Other great bang for your buck bikes are Boardman
Comment from : John Gannon

5k isn’t good value Pre Covid, Brexit, and even disc breaks 5k was top of the line super light pro level Sit on what you have and watch the industry implode
Comment from : CycloFeed Ubox

"Under £5,000" People's Bike, LOL? Well, as "First World Problems" go, I guess this qualifies
Comment from : Unreliable Narrator 66

Since when a 2k bike it's affordable or cheap? This industry has gone crazy
Comment from : Sr D

If I was going for a new bike id go for the Cube agreeless than 3000 eurosim happy with mechanical groupset
Comment from : Mark S

Bring back direct mount brakeslighter and cheaper and perfect for most leisure cyclists
Comment from : Mark S

Cannondale CAAD 13 for $2300, supersix carbon 105 $3200, Pinarello Paris 105 $3200, Pinarello Paris Rival axs 12sp $4600, Pinarella Prince Ultegra $4950, Cervelo Caledonia 105 $3200 just off the top of my head
Comment from : Carl Cole

It's a piss take I am in the trade Get on this example A 9 speed quick link is about £3, a 12 speed quick link is £15 WTF !!
Comment from : sixy69

I reckon you get more value for money (sub £2000) with a high quality aluminium frame
Comment from : CastleKnight7

Something with more of an endurance geometry because no one reading this is a pro racer and doesn't need their arse in the air when they ride
Comment from : Iver Knackerov

Wasn't DA banging on about affordable bikes the other week being in the 5 k Range? Who's the new pay cheque from this week, let's find out folks
Comment from : Diccon Hill

Pinarello Paris is a superb bit of kit for £3250 Dogma DNA and a decent group set Add a set of carbon wheels and it’s a real contender
Comment from : Will

Got the Canyon Ultimate CF SL 7 eTap, no visible cables and sram rival eTap, also aerohandlebar and lighter than the normal CF SL 7 for 3,8k Euros
Comment from : chacey

I think you should start looking into high value for money brands like Polygon
Comment from : Maverick Lim S K

500 GBP difference between the frame set and the 105 spec Cervelo!?!?! If you know how to operate a wrench, you sell the 105 groupset and get a higher spec one virtually for free on this bike
Comment from : steamtrac

Wow how prices have changed a couple of years ago the rim brake version of the tcr tiagra would cost around a grand 😳
Comment from : Andrew Trainor

Off topic, but does anyone know what bike is at 0:06 Love the look of it, but can't figure out what bike it is
Comment from : Stephen Burke

Why is the Cube so overlooked? I never see them in videos like this but they offer massive value for money and the bikes are absolutely great Very high specs for comparably low pricesbrThe Cube Agree C:62 Race is a beast of a bike with an Ultegra Di2 for 3500 euros
Comment from : Steffan Aarts-Greven

I miss the german brand Stevens They make fantastic bikes for good prices in my opinion
Comment from : marsmaes

Any love for Ribble bikes?
Comment from : Idlewild

3500 euro for a 105 mechanical groupset carbon race bike, we're screwed guys
Comment from : warchalify

2022 bike prices are insane that why people look for alternatives like aliexpress or direct Chinese brandsbrWorth to mention that quality of Chinese brands bikes(Ican,farsport or winspace) are sometimes even better than western brands
Comment from : Kamil Adam

Дисковые тормоза, им место в Велокроссе
Comment from : Samvel Amamjian

2-5K!?! 😂 How many people actually race? Why do you need a sub 8kg bike with all the bells and whistles As long as it fits, and is enjoyable to ride, you’ll be happy Your title doesn’t specify “race” road bikes, by the way
Comment from : Stuart Misfeldt

How 3500 quids is supposed to be ok for many of us? The cycling industry is loosing so much by making sure people that would be interested in this sport won’t because of the price tag! Crazy
Comment from : megustasonia

I have an £800 road allu frame with 105, and a carbon frame gravel for £750 (planet X) My car is £2500! My late father who was a Surrey time trial champion in the 50's and 60's used to say of lightweeight kit (campag in those days) "when you are so good, that having that stuff will make any difference, they will be giving it to you for free"
Comment from : Paul Vallack

What about Ribble bikes…they’re really good value
Comment from : Bellissimo Volere

Its the rider not the bike that is imprtant
Comment from : Business Pro

Cinelli pressure anyone?
Comment from : Tom Bainbridge

And don’t we know that there was probably a giant model that was closer to your upper price range figure which would blow the others away
Comment from : Mark Hagen

Too expensive Do under 2k
Comment from : Robert Sandiford

Love these bikes, especially the TCR! Prices these last few years really are staggering though Looking at the latest Specialized range, the tarmac is £9000 and that's not even the S-works model Where will it end? Abolishing the upper limit of the cycle to work scheme may have been a factor?
Comment from : Michael B

Cube Agree c:62 Pro Amazing bike with SRAM Rival Axs etap for €3000 euro What more could you want
Comment from : On My Way

What the fucking fuck Are you really promoting 2000£-5000£ bikes as value options? Really? You should be ashamed of contributing to this funking bubble Only a few years ago this bikes would have been half their price These are not worth their price whatsoever
Comment from : VodkaRLG

David Arthur think there is scam as I've been messaged saying I've won a competition by yourself and to contact You?
Comment from : Steve Polhill

Remember the days when £1500 would buy you a decent 105-equipped road bike? That wasn't that long ago I bought a Canyon Endurace AL with 105 for under a grand less than 10yrs ago! This is profiteering plain and simple, likewise all the 'upgrades' like discs, 1x, and integrated cabling (which is undoubtedly the worst 'innovation' in non-pro cycling) Cervelo Soloist, 105, good value at £3500 Listen to yourself David!
Comment from : J Cleary

Shame you did not include the Orro Venturi Brilliant bike, really quick and great value
Comment from : The Pict

I'm still a strong believer in 2nd hand Facebook Marketplace finds from a guy who upgrades his bike every couple of years!
Comment from : Eric Barfell

In Australia, we got Merida Nice bike and good value
Comment from : Kenny Setia Budi

My old £1500 rim brake TCR is all the bike I'd ever need I can't see that a more expensive bike making my rides more enjoyable or significantly faster
Comment from : chris white

In Canada the Cervelo Caledonia with 105 mec retails for under CAD $5000 If I could only find one
Comment from : max gonzalez

Gurnigel Pass west side @ 9:44 :)
Comment from : tomatessechees

5000 still waybr too much for most even considering the tech etc Just not worth it
Comment from : Leigh Coulson

The market is just getting absolutely insane 3k for a tiagra groupetwhat a joke !! The second hand market on rims or good value for money Disk is the way to gowhat js the point buying brand new bikes at the moment
Comment from : Alex

Worth pointing out that if you're buying a £2,699 Canyon you'll be an extra £540 Import Duty/VAT into the UK Glad I bought my Canyon pre Brexit!
Comment from : Cliff Smith

I got the Giant TCR advanced 3 as my first road bike and I just love it! Plan to upgrade sets as I go along Tiagra groupset is sufficient to start with :)
Comment from : Romeo

Excessive pricing often sees people hanging on to what they have and they just update parts as required Probably not a bad thing for the environment too
Comment from : glenn oc

I think 4k is the most anyone ever needs to spend on a bike if there is no world class elite competition in your schedule even a 4k bike, could win a grand tour stage, so yeah
Comment from : Hansum BTC

Orbea Orca M30/40 👌
Comment from : Kamil Pagaż

Their is a plethora of bikes under 5 grand One of the best value would have to be Merida Reacto, Scultura and Scultura Endurance!
Comment from : Richard Burgess

Good video as usual Re your tubeless ready comments: I recently bought a tubeless ready Trek Domane from the local Trek store I had it converted from tubeless to inner tube before I picked it up - I'm not interested in fussing with messy sealant The Trek store told me that the majority of road bikes they sell are similarly converted So Trek, by shipping tubeless ready to the store, is wasting a lot of people's time
Comment from : Dave Ings

What about your Yoeleo R12 against these bikes?
Comment from : Travis Pyle

Got a tcr advanced pro 2 disc recently with 105 setup and god damn that bike is brilliant for only $3800-$4600 AUD depending on dealer / sales Huge step up over 2nd hand Facebook AL 2011 bike I’d had for previous 2 years
Comment from : Josh

The Giant TCR isn't available w/ Tiagra in the US A Giant TCR Advanced 2 is $2900 US dollars Disc brake or Rim Brake for $2500 US dollars
Comment from : Rickey Garrett

5k is a bling bike even by todays standards Unless you are a pro, you won’t really see any benefits spending over that
Comment from : Usman

thanks!👍 Basso Venta?🤔
Comment from : Michael R

The Vitus aero ultegra bike is very interesting
Comment from : Donald Winston

Why spend more? Because if I'm going to launch myself down the road at speeds approaching 40mph, I don't want my wheels to explode or my handlebar to crack while steering or my brakes to fade me right into the back of a truck or car that panic stops in front of me I think $2K is the floor for a serious roadbike
Comment from : SolitaryRefinement

I think at £2799 the Canyon Endurace CF SL 8 with full mechanical Ultegra disc groupset, one-piece carbon bar and stem, plus a power meter is surely the best value bike out there at the moment If only you could actually buy one!
Comment from : Moose1986

Great list What about Polygon bikes?
Comment from : Keith ooi

Great to see Vitus getting some love Vitus Vitesse Evo could be in part 2 of this video series Allez Sport or Allez Sprint too maybe? 🤞
Comment from : Darth Vulcanis

I just spent £160 on a mint 2nd hand steel road bike, it has decent shimano gears and shifts superbly It’s a bit heavy but a lovely ride & great for fitness, I don’t race so speed is irrelevant
Comment from : Watch The Time

Davis another great video and review Curious why you would not consider more endurance geometry bikes versus the race focus Caldonia, Endurace, Defy, etc Good value and more of what everyday riders can fit into
Comment from : Nathan Morgan

Any reason the Soloist is less expensive than the R5 or S5, or does this just give us insight into the markup on those bikes?
Comment from : Daniel Biederman

Specialized sl6 sport et comp excellentes base ,j’ai un sl6 sport que j’ai fait évolué c’est une bombe !!! 73kg en roues de 60mm ! Je n’arrête pas de progresser à son guidon bon le miens est en dura ace mécanique et manettes 105 j’ai un peu de tout dessus mais je suis sous les 5000€(je l’ai payé 2000€ en 2020 il était affiché 2800€ et maintenant 3500😠)
Comment from : little cycling

A list of good value bikes without a Cube, Rose or Merida?
Comment from : Wouter Van Boxstael

That's why I went Chinese
Comment from : Paul Richards

Cube Agree Race is my pick for best value for money, EUR 3500 in Germany for an Ultegra Di2 12 speed
Comment from : Arne Hartmann

Good choices just purchased a giant defy 1 a great bike for less than £2500
Comment from : keith bailey

Nice informative presentation Would be great if you were to consider doing a 'winter bike' special - low cost (say sub 2500, easy self maintenance (ie rim brakes / mechanical GS) and with mudguard clearance)
Comment from : John Flynn

Very nice presentation Nice to see that there are reasonably priced bikes that are worth riding Of course, I also have a suggestion: Basso Astra Take a look
Comment from : William M

Our sport is becoming golf People on these kinds of bikes are passengers not riders which is very sad Like maany I ride MTB as well and it's even worse in that sport All I will say is cycling is in a great place regarding participation and covergae, mayb this is the price we pay It does hurt to to new people to the sport being taken for a ride though It's ok stick itt on finance🙄
Comment from : G 36

ja where the prices go at the moment this must be considered worth the money, but i dont see that value going up much higher with bikes over 10 grand now - here we have now lots of "non-bikers" riding on very expensive bikes fully geared up once a week, usually Sundays
Comment from : bob cabot

"Why spend more?"brThank you for coming to your senses How many customers have been scammed by some bike dealers in recent years? Internet marketing has helped them a lot
Comment from : Pierre C

Interesting list, David I have 2 of the bikes you mentioned, 2019 Canyon CF SL (Ultegra mech) and 2021 Giant TCR ADV PC2 (105 mech) I paid less than $5,000 dollars combined for both of them Let's just say I'm having a lot fun for cheap 😎
Comment from : Elmer Richardson

The cleverest thing the bike industry did was convince people that sub 5k was affordable
Comment from : Asa ms

Boardman ADV 90 all season/gravel bike is also worth a look at, especially at as it's under £2k with grx 600 and carbon frame
Comment from : Lander F

You are normalizing the price increases by putting it at 5k, a sum, anyone would have called insane a few years ago
Comment from : Yarlon

Good luck trying to buy a canyon never any in stock
Comment from : Steve Polhill

What kind of insanity is it that we're looking at these amazing bargain bikes between 3 and 5K? I have a 4 year old Pinarello Gan with Ultegra Di2 that I put together new for about 3K The median salary in the UK is about 25K so spending almost a quarter of your salary on a bike is supposed to be a bargain?
Comment from : Andrew Woffinden

If you can afford it brilliant but most of us don't need this Emperors new clothes stuff If it was said you would save 5watts and be 40 seconds faster over 25 miles with a snorkel and flippers some silly sods would be riding round like that, positive they are that much quicker Bikes for a grand or less would suit most of us
Comment from : Diccon Hill

I drive my car $5,500 car 40 miles per week, with an occasional 100-mile trip to visit family or the closest major city, so I don't need anything fancy I ride my bikes roughly three times that many miles every week, but a bicycle is a much less complex and far less versatile device than a car; it has no business costing as much as a car
Comment from : Ranger Smith

With 3999€ I bought a Canyon Cf Sl endurace with group ultegra Di2 12v, carbon handlebar areobrI think it's a better deal than the ones listed in the video
