If you could only choose one of the new aero bikes, which would you choose?

Cervelo S5 or S3, depending on budget and priorities.

Without doubt both are aerodynamic enough, are easily serviceable due to lack of integration, offer a compliant ride, provide good geo choices (S5 va. S3) and in my book come in nice understated colourways.

The Madone 9 and ViAS are definitely interesting but far too integrated and complicated for the average home wrench (like me).
Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live.

I would probably use new Foil as it seems they have looked deeper into comfort and less integrated.

Don't like the hidden rear brake though!

Still guess Trek Madone 9 might be more comfortable and honestly, i think this is the one i would buy in the end (H2).
Bikes:

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

F8 looks like is the best ride. Aero without any compromises.

I'd throw the Ridley Noah SL into the mix for consideration. Others are a little more aero, but it doesn't have issues with crazy cabling in proprietary brakes.

The F8 is the best all around bike with aero properties. You can't go wrong with it.

One more vote for the Giant Propel. Best looking one currently IMO...
S5 is nice as well though and so is the BMC.
