  Friends, Im not dissing on expensive bikes, but can someone explain the major differences in terms of performance compared to say my $800 bike? Mines served me fine for a few years of long frequent cycles. Only difference hat might come to mind is stuff like disc brakes.

    RSmith on 07/08/2019 - 11:51

    No disc brakes on this one.

    What's the model of your bike?

    Most of cost goes to weight saving, compliance, stiffness, higher end materials and grade of the carbon fibre framing.

    You're paying for performance to potentially win a race.

    in short,

    • electronic shifting (is around $2k alone for components. main benefit is less maintenance and cool electric motor sounds when changing the gears)
    • carbon frame of varying quality (different grades of carbon fibre and build quality/stiffness)
    • lighter and better built wheels usually (sometimes carbon entry level even, as rotational weight makes a big difference to acceleration)
    • overall lighter and stiffer to aid in climbing hills (sum of parts, frame+groupset+wheels)
    • more likely to get stolen

    as someone in the matrix movie said: ignorance is bliss. if you're happy with what you've got stick with it. otherwise your new hobby becomes a black hole for money (like with me for example)

    oh and also,

    • w..k factor

    I can explain the difference simply. Literally everything on this bike is different to an $800 bike - assuming yours is a road bike at all. Every component, the purpose of the bike, the electronic shifting, the material, the geometry…

    I don't own a bike this good and I'm not really into riding that much, but your question sounds a bit disingenuous.

    How much does your bike weigh?
    How long do you ride for?
    Do you ride up mountains?

    The Di2 gears are electronic. There's wires instead of cables. There is a battery internal inside the bike frame. As long as you keep the battery charged you just push a button on the brake levers and the gears change instantly. Mine never misses a gear …. never. As someone that rides up a lot of hills, being near the limit, half way up a hill somewhere, reaching for the gear levers and hearing 'cachunk … cachunk' as the stretched gear cables try and miss to change gears because I havent indexed my gears well is something that now doesnt ever happen. if you dont know what this means it probably doesnt matter to you.

    Efficiency to put it basically. To do a 100km ride you will expend considerably more energy than someone riding this bike.

  I only buy my bike from Target. They have nice specials like $99 for adult bike. Lasts 4 years easy with daily riding 40mins. If I want to go fast I use car instead of racing bike. Tho this one might be good for Armstrong.

    Tho this one might be good for Armstrong.

    Only if he paddled with his strong arms.

    Armstrong rode Trek bikes not Cannondale but I assume you dont understand what that means as it doesnt fit with your poor attempt at humour
