The 10 best carbon road bikes of 2021
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
Cannondale SuperSix EVO: New, Faster, Lighter
Product news: With the Cannondale SuperSix EVO, the latest model of the proven Cannondale racing machine was presented today. It has been greatly improved in terms of aerodynamics, without neglecting the weight advantages or driving characteristics. Would you like more high-end racing bikes? Check out our top 10 for 2021: Since its launch, the SuperSix Evo has been known for its […]

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 euros
Specialized Aethos S-Works in the test: Stylish driving fun in a class!
Product news: The new Specialized Aethos has already caused a lot of conversation after only a short time on the market. But not because it has already achieved various successes, as one is used to from Specialized bikes. But precisely because the latest racing bike model from the US manufacturer was not developed for races and is much more about driving pleasure in the […]
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 euros
The new BMC Teammachine SLR: Swiss precision in the extreme test
Test: The Swiss manufacturer BMC introduced its first Teammachine SLR 10 years ago. To date, this model has been continuously improved and revised, so the impressive track record with Tour de France (stage) victories and numerous titles is no coincidence. We tested the new BMC Teammachine SLR under slightly different conditions. “Racing is […]
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
Trek Emonda review: Simply faster, not just uphill!
Product news/test: The Trek Emonda has been one of the most sought-after road bikes on the market for years. Now you have a new Emonda lineup at the start in cooperation with your own professional teams. The great feature: Significantly improved aerodynamics with low weight thanks to innovative tube profiles. We already saw how the new Emonda drives in practice […]
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 euros
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: 3.999 – 8.999 euros
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 euros
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
Storck Aerofast.3 Comp Disc review: Value for money with aero genes
Test: The German manufacturer Storck has already caused a stir in the last few days with some new models for 2021. This is also the case with the latest model in the racing bike/road sector, the Storck Aerfast.3 Comp Disc. With this aero entry-level model, Storck Bicycle is now taking up its already successful Pro model as a Comp variant, making fast riding pleasure available to a wider […]
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 euros
Ridley Noah Fast Disc Review: The name is program
Test: With the Ridley Noah Fast Disc, as the name suggests, we had a fast aero racer in our test.
