Cannondale Super Six EVO
The Cannondale SuperSix EVO comes in the typical aero look - low seat stays, horizontal top tube - and its optimized aerodynamics are said to significantly reduce air resistance. The way to get there is via a beautifully fitted, slim fork, the one-piece carbon cockpit of the top models and the optimized airfoil tube shapes. Cannondale is one of the few manufacturers to offer very affordable entry-level versions of its top model, with frames that are slightly heavier but just as aerodynamic.
Prices: 2.899 – 10.499 euros

Specialized Aethos
New production methods lead to the absolute minimum weight in the 2021 top model from Specialized. With fork, headset, thru-axles and all the small parts, the size 56 top frame set in the S-Works class weighs one kilogram and 20 grams; this is how you can build what is probably the lightest road bike with disc brakes. Even the more modest version, which uses slightly simpler carbon fibers, is extremely light. Specialized offers the frame sets for self-assembly, as well as several complete bikes, all equipped with electronic shifting systems.
Prices: 5.799 – 12.999 Euro

BMC Teammachine SLR01
The Swiss manufacturer pulls out all the stops with its top model. The light, aerodynamic frame set causes a stir with cables routed completely in the cockpit; integrated bottle holders and special dropouts also ensure optimal aerodynamics down to the last detail. The D-shaped seat post improves riding comfort as well as airflow. Typical BMC are the low rear stays that give the Teammachine its unmistakable appearance.
Prices: 6.799 – 10.999 Euro

Trek Emonda SLR
Trek has mixed up the letters once again and joins the established models Madone and Domane with the Émonda: an extremely light, yet particularly aerodynamic racing machine that is designed to meet all the requirements of a modern cyclist. The main features of the top model are the semi-integrated cockpit and the Trek-typical seat dome, which ensures comfort. The frame geometry is tailored to a stretched sitting position, which also suits the professional cyclists equipped by Trek.
Prices: 6.042,72 – 10.721,71 euros

Colnago V3RS
Originally developed in cooperation with Ferrari, the V3RS is the third generation of Colnago's all-round carbon model. The legendary Italian manufacturer intends to use the aerodynamically optimized monocoque frame for a variety of purposes: With its low weight, it is just as suitable for mountain riders as it is for touring over bumpy roads, especially since tires up to 30 mm wide can be fitted. Eight frame sizes ensure an uncompromising fit, the angular tube profiles for an unmistakable look.
Price: from around 8.000 euros
Canyon Aeroad CFR
The innovative manufacturer from Koblenz confidently describes the Aeroad CFR as the "fastest racing bike on the market". In any case, it is extremely aerodynamic; This is supported by details such as the flat down tube, the grooved seat tube and the wing-like seat post. Suitable for different driver profiles with a somewhat relaxed seat geometry, the CFR has well thought-out details such as the width-adjustable carbon cockpit, which invisibly guides brake lines and shifter cables into the frame interior. The top model is only equipped with the best component groups from the three major suppliers.
Prices: 7.499 – 8.999 Euro
Scott Foil
With the Foil, Scott also has one of the best and most exciting aero bikes in its range for 2021. WorldTour-tested, it also offers ambitious hobby riders and amateurs excellent performance, low weight and high rigidity values. It's nice that the fully integrated cockpit is installed in all equipment variants - anyway, the "entry-level model" for just under 4.000 euros can easily be described as race-ready.
Price: 3999 - 8.999 Euro
Cervelo S5
The Canadian supplier's S5 has a long history as an aerodynamic road bike and has been continuously optimized. The seat tube, which nestles closely to the rear wheel, is now less wing-like; a head tube in the classic sense no longer exists, instead the fork pulls up to the handlebar stem. This is divided into two and deviates significantly from what you are used to - all in the interests of the best possible flow, which is reflected in three stage successes in the Tour de France 2020.
Prices: approx. 7.000 – 11.500 Euro
Storck Aerofast 3
The fast Storck combines proven aero elements - a flat down tube and a grooved seat tube - with modern elements, including improved comfort despite the aero post and the wide fork. The latter should also provide more comfort and also "decouple" the fork legs and front wheel earodynamically. Typical for Storck is the extremely sporty seat geometry with a strong elevation of the saddle and handlebars. The restrained pricing is remarkable: Even the cheapest model is equipped with a high-quality handlebar-stem unit made of carbon.
Prices: 3.499 – 6.898 euros

Ridley Noah Fast Disc
The Belgian supplier is one of the pioneers in aerodynamic road racing bikes and has been attracting attention with innovative details for years. The Noah Fast inspires with its elegant, streamlined appearance, which translates into almost effortless speed on the road. The highlights of the race-tested machine include the wing-like carbon cockpit, the small wind deflectors on the fork tips and the vibration-reducing and streamlined seat post with a D-shaped cross section.
Prices: 6.199 – 9.999 Euro
