Because that is exactly what all these "so called" bike reviews are. They are streamers serving as outside marketing reps for the brands of bikes they are supposedly reviewing and posting what are the equivalent of nothing more than glorified marketing takes. No one should take any of these pretend reviews with a hint of seriousness.
@ it’s not about if I can afford it or not… this was about a range of best bike and I thing putting the price alongside each one of them will make the video more complete…. Btw I’ve got a specialized s-works venge whit full shimano Durace group set I wouldn’t swap mi bike for any one of those describe here above.
lmao just checked the specialized Allez: 1200 for alu frame, 8 speed claris and mechanical disk brakes... Better off buying a Decathlon bike for half the price.
Can I ask why you never talk about the Giant Contend AR1 and AR2? It's an aluminum Defy with a carbon fork, carbon seatpost, hydraulic disc brakes, Tiagra or 105 group set. Plus, on the AR2 2025 you get the awesome purple and green chameleon paint job. Such a good looking bike for the price.
Just because a bike is COMPLETELY affordable doesn't make it a bad bike. Somebody should do a "Best Cheap Bikes" review and not mention any of the bike mfgrs in this video.
@Stevenwalks I'm presently working 💪 midnights at the post office 🏤, so obviously I can't afford more than 5k. I wish I had a lawyer's or dentist income stream 😕. I presently ride a single speed steel bike, but it gets the job done x
" ... cheaper than all these bike I own" ??? Do you perhaps mean "...cheaper than all these bikes.* I* own one, it's* great." ? Punctuation exists for a reason.
im tired of this fake reviews that only put the paying brands ahead. im not watching again your channel. its obvious that you left CUBE out probably because they dont pay this kind of adds. however this year they put out the best bikes on the endurance and other areas. for endurance they made the Attain and Agree to top price and performance.
Why review the Pinarello Dogma X that the majority won't be able to afford. I've just bought a Pinarello X1, much cheaper and affordable, while retaining many of the characteristics of the Dogma X. It's a great bike. Check it out.
Im still cranking along on my '01 Klein. I have a couple other more modern bikes, aero bike, etc, but the old Klein is my favorite of the bunch. Almost 24 years and going strong.
My daughter's Avec Sythe has a stiff, UCI-approved aero frame designed by top aerodynamicist and bike fitter Tim Allen and weighs 7.4kg with Ultegra 12sp Di2 and hydraulic discs, Speedplay dual powermeters and an alloy cockpit and cranks. With a tag under £7k. None of these brands come close...
How can any list of top ten bikes not include a rim brake version? Lighter, cheaper, easier to maintain, and simply much more attractive than any disc brake bike will ever be.
Do not say "affordable" and "not bank-breaking" while a bike spec'd with the latest Sram Red is shown. None of such bikes is below 10,000 €/$£. And all these kinda' look the same, even Basso whose design used to stand out and be easily recognizeable from afar. And Pinarello are still the ugliest carbon bikes in existence.

Why does it feel like all bike review videos in recent past are no more than someone narrating marketing blurbs?
Would anyone call these reviews?
It's because they are. Like watching, or reading, a ski review. Same brands, same marketing BS.

Cube attain if you‘re on a budget. Cervelo Caledonia-5 is also a very nice bike fitting this category.
Should I go for the discounted Attain race (2024) or the Attain pro (2025) for a beginner triathlete?
105 mechanical isn't easy to work on when those cables are fully internal, intergrated and routed through the headset!!
where are the prices///???
If you have to ask you can't afford it😉.

The only price that was mentioned was for the Moots. The Moots is worth every penny.

Through the roof
Cube Agree c62 SLT : best endurance bike value 🙃

Great!!!
Looking forward to the "Most Affordable All Road Bike" installment soon.
Just because a bike is COMPLETELY affordable doesn't make it a bad bike. Somebody should do a "Best Cheap Bikes" review and not mention any of the bike mfgrs in this video.
Not sure why Specialized get two bites at this and agree that there are others that have been overlooked such as Cube and Willier
Because they are paid for "reviews" and Specialized paid for two. 🙂
Paid advertisement? Full transparency? Thanks 😊
I tend to watch these things and then buy one that isn't on the list

No Merida scultura endurance which is probably cheaper than all these bikes i own one they are great
Merida might not have paid protection money.
" ... cheaper than all these bike I own" ??? Do you perhaps mean "...cheaper than all these bikes.* I* own one, it's* great." ? Punctuation exists for a reason.
@@salmanshami They are in here, sort of, as they own a 49% share in Specialized.
People, this is just a list of bikes. Not bike reviews.
980 grams cool. What is the actual weight of the whole bike assembled.

These aren't reviews.
... these* fake reviews aren't any, they're promotional features.
Yeah, I need a job like that. Just reading marketing summaries and posting them on UA-cam😂😂
Why review the Pinarello Dogma X that the majority won't be able to afford.
I've just bought a Pinarello X1, much cheaper and affordable, while retaining many of the characteristics of the Dogma X. It's a great bike. Check it out.
The Colnago C68 Allroad is the Lamborghini of endurance road bikes! I wouldn’t even consider the Dogma X over the Colnago.
I can think of about 20 bikes I'd take over the Colnago C68 or any other Colnago. :-)
@@rcg9573 have you ever driven a Colnago C68? I’m guessing not.
What about the Scott Addict?
Not really an endurance geometry?
@@whirlywhirly5758 dont know, i am not an expert :D
@@whirlywhirly5758 You're thinking of the Addict RC.
It's a few years old.
@@markrskinnerthat could be the case
Prices???
No Cannondale No Scott ?
where is CUBE, did you miss the top models they made for 2015 or is this only a payed review?
2025*
Is it 2025 already?
Season-wise 2025 started October.
Merida? )
Are you guys living in 2025 already?! I am so late into cycling that it is just 2024 in my end.
Im still cranking along on my '01 Klein. I have a couple other more modern bikes, aero bike, etc, but the old Klein is my favorite of the bunch. Almost 24 years and going strong.
I thought that the domane was discontinued.
Emonda was replaced by new Madone.
My daughter's Avec Sythe has a stiff, UCI-approved aero frame designed by top aerodynamicist and bike fitter Tim Allen and weighs 7.4kg with Ultegra 12sp Di2 and hydraulic discs, Speedplay dual powermeters and an alloy cockpit and cranks.
With a tag under £7k.
None of these brands come close...
I would race her up Winnats Pass on my 2025 Giant tcr advanced pro 0 with ultegra di2, was £6499 reduced to £4868 👍
Where is the Enve Fray?!
Where is the new BMC Roadmachine with 40mm tire clearance?
2024 BMC RoadMachine but iI realized you can’t make a video without Trek and Specilized 😒.
What about Merida 🤷
Merida Scultura/ Scultura Endurance where???
ppl should just get a gravel bike, same thing but with mounts and more tyre clearance
Yep. I ride a Revolt with two wheelsets. I can stay on that bike all day.
There is no colnago
How can any list of top ten bikes not include a rim brake version? Lighter, cheaper, easier to maintain, and simply much more attractive than any disc brake bike will ever be.
Like what bike? Endurance geometry, rim brakes and clearance for 32mm+ tyres..........

They are all the same just different names
Price!!!!!! Vid is useless without that!.
No one is going to want to buy a road bike with cables on the outside in 2025 so all those ones can be ruled out.
