    UPDATE! A Note from Cannondale - The team bikes reportedly have an average weight of 7.4kg (some are lighter/some are a little heavier). 7.78kg mentioned on screen is for a systemsix, but some imagary depicts an EVO which is actually lighter.

    One caveat: using the same Park Tool scale, I've found that bikes can vary by up to 0.5 kg on successive weighings, due to amount of arm shake, location of the placement of hooks (ideally weight should be evenly distributed on the two arms), wind, and other factors. Spoke with Calvin at Park Tool about this 3 years ago, and he said the best way is to weigh the bike with the scale in a clamp, or if handheld, take averages. He also said that bike weight doesn't really matter that much (unless there's a big difference).

      Aero times are a lot better going downhill, so its not all a loss and aero advantages will also take away some of the the 26 sec going uphill, just as the deeper rims with larger tires may reduce the rolling resistance. You cannot isolate one factor from all others if you want a fair comparison. I don't do the "superman", but I still "outrace" everyone on the steeper descents (>6%) without touching my pedals just by taking an somewhat radical body aero position, with my deep wheels and narrow aero bars (and I'm just a go lucky amateur).

    @GCN Surely you’re missing something when they were using the “ Aero trumps weight over a TDF stage” counter argument.
    If they were riding solo or in a small group i tend to agree, but the majority of GC contenders will be in the peloton getting the big draft and even when slightly more exposed when they string it out, they will be nicely tucked middle or back of the of the teammates wheels. Surely the lightest bike with the most aero features they can get away with will seem them unleash the watts saved in the pack when finally exposed on a climbs where aero doesn’t have as much effect.

    Please don't be returning to the weight loss at any cost. Back in the late 1980s, I remember when some people were obsessed with reducing the overall weight of the bike. To the point where brake levers were drilled out to such an extent that structural integrity was at a bare minimum. Cranks were thinned and drilled. Frames were denuded of paint and highly polished. Stems (quill stems back then) were drilled out. Seatposts were (judiciously) drilled out. In fact, anything that wasn't important in making the bike go, was drilled out to reduce weight.

    Alloy GT ZR3.0 with 9-speed 105, 9.7kg with pedals, bottle cages and pump bracket. NZ$600, ages ago. Spent a couple of grand on a secondhand 2020 Roubaix three years back but thought handling was too slow on steep, twisty, hilly descents, so sold it again. Prob a mistake but I'm still getting to top of climbs ahead of most of my mates on my GT. It works just fine with 28mm tyres, waxed chain and a 34-tooth cassette so I'm reining in the desire for something enviable. For style points I've got a gleaming trad Columbus ELOS steel bike, handmade in Lombardi, which I built up with alloy Campag. It's heavier but light in spirit.

    These days there is a push for wider tires. The claim is that you will be faster and more comfortable. However this is all based on pseudo-science because the surface type and rider weight dictates the tire width and pressure. It's simply a way to kill off rim bikes without mentioning the word 'brake'. I have a ten year old alloy bike with light-ish alloy wheels that weighs about the same as a $10,000 pro level aero bike. Yes, I prefer disk brakes but not the weight, so for me I'd rather just have slightly worse brakes and narrower tires on my summer bike spend a lot less, $3000 gets me a mechanical rim brake bike that's as light as a $10,000 disk brake bike. I'd rather have that other $7000.

    This is actually quite easy. Bike design optimizes efficient energy transfer. As you go faster, you prioritize aerodynamic loss. First order is rider position and power output (comfort). Riders have become much more athletic from training, fueling etc.. so w/kg has gone up in recent decades and hence the ability to go faster… so bike design prioritizes aero. Climbers are shielded and they are free to ride lite bikes on their team.. the others ride fast.

    $2.8k USD for a road bike I'm glad to say my Pinarello Paris weighted 8.7kg after only upgrading cheap alternatives of 44 carbon Hunt wheels and a carbon sqlab saddle. While still having the basic stock aluminum bar and stem and an entry level shimano 105 mechanical groupset! Which will be my next upgrades hoping to shave down to 8kg or below. So far $4k well spent I must say!

    You guys should do an episode on how to lighten bike weight for us, common folks. The restriction - have to set a realistic cost:savings ratio, e.g cannot be more than 10 US$ per 1W savings or 10 US$ per 250 gm savings. I sure you guys can come up with a better limit.

    This is surprising. My V4RS with normal Dura Ace and no Carbon TI custom stuff weighs in at 7.00kg flat in a size 510. I’m 180 so not tiny. Also have got an alu deda superbox stem with carbon bar instead of a lighter full one piece option. I also thought the Enve wheels were weighted competitive to the Cadex alternative I have.

    I have a 2018 Giant TCR Maglia Rosa Edition (SM) with full SRAM Red mechanical that I bought for $3800 from someone and it weighs 14.6 lbs. On the other hand, my 2022 BMC Team Machine SLR01 (47cm) with full Dura Ace Di2 cost me about $9800 and weighed 16.9 lbs. My 2023 Cervelo Aspero 5 (48cm) which I use for both road and gravel now, with full SRAM Force AXS, cost me about $6500 and weighs 19 lbs. My top end speed on all of them is very similar but climbing I'd rather have the Giant and on flats, the BMC just based on overall response, but the Cervelo does everything just fine.

    my 56 tarmac sl8 was 7.2kg without pedals, bidons or head unit. i "skimped" on the wheels (CLII instead of CLXII), drivetrain (new sram force), and saddle. i imagine you could get to the legal limit if you really tried, and it seems like bora is there or thereabouts. i think the difference between the rapides and the alpinist wheelset is probably the majority of the difference between quickstep and bora.
