Thread makes no sense given how many criteria there are.

Fuji Transonic SL. It's perfect. 100g less would be nice but at this price the weight is very good.

Another vote for Giant Propel. Value for money, stiff, aero.
I'd say Canyon Aeroad but it's very very hard to get hold of one.

Foil 2016 or propel isp
S3 would be third but has to go because of crap seatpost and too flimsy hanger....

I would go with either a Foil or an S5.
The new Foil seems to have struck a balance between weight and Aero.
The S5 is a proven performer...

I too would be considering a Felt AR as well. Some reviews liken it to a TVR if you will. Raw speed but somewhat wild...

As far as dark horses I'd lik to know if anyone has ridden a Noah SL or an Aerfast because those seem quite interesting but I have less information on those.

Giant propel and fuji trans good value for money.

Canyon Aeroad and Scott Foil and Felt AR performs similarly. Canyon is probably the cheapeast if you can get one.

Cervel s2 / s3 are easiee to find and use the same frame. S5 is an expensive option but the latest model is solid. Very stiff and raw unlime the first iteration which flex as noodle.

F8 will have an all round performance with very solid handling. Not bad at all.

Venge ViAS is too finicky, too heavy and too expensive for what you get.

Of all the one i tried, Canyon Aeroad takes the crown, followed by S5 and F8. S3 rides well but dont feel as lively as Aeroad nor as raw and stiff in the bb as s5 but its cheaper. Never tried Madone 9 but should be very good also.

In my opinion, Trek's new madone wins if you have no budget problem.

Cervelo and Canyon win if you have tight budget.

Any bike as long as it's aero :D I just got my first aero bike a month ago. What an amazing feeling riding one in all road conditions including uphills. I'm setting new PRs on all the big climbs around here too 8)
