Racing bikes

Aero road bike

- Fifth generation of the SuperSix Evo: carefully revised aerodynamics, slightly improved geometry, still a race-orientated all-rounder.
- LAB71 top model: 6.89 kg, aerodynamics at aero racer level, very good stiffness and comfort, but still expensive in comparison.
- Prices reduced compared to predecessor, nine complete bikes and two framesets, Hollowgram abolished, SmartSense only on the Synapse.

- Argon 18 Anti Matter is an aero-optimised gravel bike for modern gravel racing with systemic development of frame and components.  
- Over 800 CFD hours and 45 wind tunnel hours are said to have resulted in a 14.5 watt aero advantage over the Dark Matter at 45 km/h.  
- Three configurations from 5995 to almost 12,000 euros, frameset for 4995 euros; delivery from May 2026, pre-order already possible.

AERO RENNRAD

- Lego is launching the Icons Road Bike 2026, the first racing bike model in the Icons series for adult cycling fans (€119.90).
- The 1015-piece model (36 cm high, 60 cm long) features front wheel steering, pedal drive with freewheel, silver chain, derailleurs, disc brakes and clipless pedals.
- Accessories include a removable water bottle, rear light and mounting stand for the rear wheel to demonstrate the functional drivetrain.

- The new Giant Propel Advanced SL is significantly lighter (6.4 kg), remains an all-round racer, but aerodynamically only at the level of its predecessor.  
- Riding characteristics: very agile, controllable, comfortable seat post; full 2x12 gearing and power meter, but critical Cadex aero tyres.  
- Top model receives a test score of 1.4; cheaper Pro and 105 versions offer more weight but competitive equipment at lower prices.

- With optimised wheels and aero tyres, Storck Aerfast.5 Pro takes the lead in aero racing bikes and sets a record in the wind tunnel.  
- Extremely designed for speed: aggressive riding position, 1x12 drivetrain without gears, rock-hard suspension, narrow range of use for smooth tarmac.  
- Detail optimisation reduces weight to 6.89 kg, improves aerodynamics by approx. 1 watt and enables a competitive price from 6,549 to 9,199 euros.

- The Endurace CFR is an emphatically sporty endurance racing bike that is visually and aerodynamically very similar to Canyon's Aeroad.  
- Comfort comes primarily from the 35 mm tyres; the frame is versatile and only slightly less aero, but noticeably heavier than the Aeroad.  
- The CFR is aimed at performance-oriented riders, while more comfortable, more affordable CF SL/CF models with up to 38 mm tyres and mudguards are set to follow.

- Wilier Rapida is an affordable carbon road bike for beginners from €2,899 with a modern, aero-inspired look.  
- Moderate geometry (stack-to-reach 1.47) and tyre clearance of up to 36 mm are aimed at comfort and versatile use beyond asphalt.  
- Two Shimano 105 configurations (mechanical or electronic) with 32 mm tyres, carbon cockpit, carbon seat post and four colour variants, no individual frameset.

- Stromm Cycles Raktt achieves 196.4 watts (or 194.9 watts tuned), the best aero value measured in the TOUR wind tunnel to date.
- Merida Reacto achieves 197.4 watts in the aero set-up, making it the second-best standard bike and remaining suitable for everyday use without any noticeable restrictions.
- The aerodynamics of the frame, wheels, tyres, drivetrain, rider position and clothing are key speed factors, with weight usually playing a secondary role.

- With 196 watts for 45 km/h in the wind tunnel, the Stromm Raktt is the fastest aero road bike ever measured by TOUR.  
- Aerodynamics thanks to slim tube profiles, 1x12 drive, narrow handlebars, high wheels; large tyre clearance up to 34 mm.  
- Frame and bottom bracket stiffness are low, good for solo rides and time trials; price of the tested complete bike with SRAM Red: 11,563 euros.

Stromm Rakkt: Aero road bike with record value in the test

- Canyon Endurace CFR: new competition endurance bike, aerodynamically close to the Aeroad, developed for tough classics such as Paris-Roubaix, price 8,999 euros.  
- CFR frame: aerodynamic shapes, reinforced carbon layup, tyre clearance 35 mm, sporty geometry; CF SLX/CF with more comfort and up to 38 mm tyres.  
- New PACE and RACE Bar cockpits: partly adjustable, different aerodynamics and seating position; equipped with Dura-Ace or Red AXS, 7.5 kg, 65 mm wheels.

All-road competition road bike: New Canyon Endurace CFR 2026 for Paris-Roubaix

- Aero road bike with a flat frame, 65 mm wheels, 1x13 SRAM Force XPLR and an extremely stretched, low riding position for high speed.  
- Very good wind tunnel values (202 watts weighted average), lively handling; 1x13 setup with grinding noises and large gear jumps uphill.  
- High level of customisation: five frame sizes, variable stem and stack options, configurable design; test bike with power meter costs € 8,809.

Ridley Noah Fast: The fast aero racer on test

- Wide fork blades (125 mm) and a slim head tube are supposed to improve aerodynamics, but they don't provide a clear advantage in the wind tunnel.
- With DT Swiss ARC 1100 and Conti Aero 111 the resistance drops to 198.2 watts, without front derailleur to 196.8 watts, absolutely fast, but not record-breaking.
- Frame is very stiff, weight 7380 g with 2x12 drivetrain, wide range of cockpit options, price 15,099 euros, suitable for sporty riding style and sensation.
