That test is fake. Who heard of a tour-magazine.de test, where the winner was not a rose nor a canyon or storck? :)

Venge Vias might be aerodynamic, but it is ugly in real life. I would never consider one.

I purchased a Giant Propel. Best bang for bang, especially when buying second hand.

I got a Fuji Transonic 2.1 with Cervelo handlebars and a disc wheel...for road racing only. It sounds like it might be for triathlons or double as a TT bike but no...

Some of these bikes, mainly the Foil, test so poorly they shouldn't even be considered aero bikes. And that thing rode like shit!

Horses for courses. If I needed all out speed and was so good at racing that it would make the difference then the Vias for sure. The S5 seems a bit more well-rounded, but my number one choice is the AR by far. Its a TT bike that rides, looks, and weighs like a road bike.
Don't take me too seriously. The only person that doesn't hate Froome.

Pinarello calls the F8 #endofdiscussion

So it seams clear to me LOL

But seriously: the F8 has great aero advantages, rides super comfortable and stiff... the looks are to be a bit more 'normal' compared to other aero bikes...
For me the aero part was not the motivation to buy it... it just complimented the total pic...

Pinarello F8 or Canyon Aerod... Nicely shaped bikes with brakes on the right places and without the idiot FULL internal routing of new Venge or Madone.

// New bikes are clearly showing that if you want to go fully aero you should go electronic. Only this way you dont have to worry about sharp angle in your housing. Ouch, there is still the brake...
