Racing bikes

Marathon bike / Endurance road bike

- A very comfortable endurance bike with ample tyre clearance of up to 40 mm, long-distance-friendly geometry and a smooth, predictable ride.  
- The original 32 mm tubeless tyres offer comfort and off-road capability, but they roll with some resistance and are pressure-sensitive; faster alternatives are recommended.  
- Low-maintenance cockpit setup, Shimano 105 groupset, IceTech brake discs, carbon wheels and good value for money, but few additional features.

- Addict 30: An endurance bike for recreational cyclists, with a very comfortable, upright riding position and wide 34-mm tyres, but relatively heavy at 8.5 kg.  
- Fitted with Shimano 105 electronic groupset and basic carbon wheels, it is reasonably priced, though it lacks mounting points for mudguards or a luggage rack.  
- Lots of practical features for everyday use, such as an integrated tool kit, storage compartment and optional rear light; easy-going handling, suitable even for those who are not very fit.

MARATHON BIKE / ENDURANCE ROAD BIKE

- The re-released Stevens Izoard combines racing and touring capabilities, remaining a versatile all-rounder without being overly specialised.
- New carbon frame with design elements borrowed from the Arcalis and Xenith, offering significantly improved comfort thanks to the seatpost clamp and carbon seatpost.
- Top-of-the-range model with SRAM Force and carbon wheels for €4,499; four variants starting from €2,399, plus customisation via the Stevens modular system.

Sporty, robust, versatile: the new Stevens Izoard

- The Dogma X is Pinarello’s endurance all-road racer, featuring redesigned X-Stays 2.0 for improved vibration damping on rough tarmac.  
- Frame made from Torayca M40X carbon, with optimised aerodynamics thanks to an elliptical head tube, tapered down tube and closed fork dropouts.  
- 35 mm tyre clearance, SRAM UDH-compatible dual-mount system, premium component selection; frames from €6,700, complete bikes from €14,900, available from 24 July.

- The Giant Propel is the lightest aero road bike (6.43 kg), offering greater comfort, agile handling and a significantly more affordable price point.  
- The Specialized Tarmac SL9 is aerodynamically superior (205 W), very well-balanced, with stable and precise handling, and 30 mm tyres for versatility.  
- Both score 1.4; our recommendation: Giant for riders who prioritise weight, comfort and value for money, and Specialized for uncompromising competitive cyclists.

- 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.

- Caledonia offers similar riding characteristics to the Caledonia-5, but does without features such as storage compartment, comfort support and full integration.  
- The higher handlebar position and options for wide tyres up to 36 mm make the riding position more comfortable and suitable for everyday use.  
- In terms of price, the Caledonia is up to 1500 euros less than the Caledonia-5, depending on the equipment, without showing any relevant technical weaknesses.
