Just got SL8 SWORKS Shimano.. i love it.. upgrade from SL7 SRAM - I actually had to downsize to 54 from 56 .. yes bike store sold me wrong size during covid =(
Forgetting opinion and feeling this doesn’t add value as the human mind is easily fooled . answering you tile question only I find its worth questionable, especially considering its componentry costs. The manufacturing process includes material costs, wages, and mold costs. Giant and Winterspace sell TCR’s and SLC’s for around $1500-2k ( framesets only), and mold costs are the same. These Halo bikes are hardly worth the price for the performance gain that most people wouldn’t feel. People and reviewers try to quantify it. Interestingly, the printed box and packaging cost more than the bike. Regrettably, these Halo bikes (this goes for all brands) were never intended to sell, but people still buy them. However, the race bikes must be available for purchase. This rule needs to change; it’s the root of the problem. People are paying for race team sponsorships, not the bikes themselves.
You made the right choice. The Tarmac is the truth 👌

Nice start to the channel - Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about other bikes !
Holy shit, AI is getting to a new level. Brands are creating fake channels and reviewers as a form of marketing. Crazy............
Lol
AI generated wow!
