    Hoping someone can weigh in on this for me. Is there a significant enough difference in ride quality to justify a $10,000 bike over a $1000 bike?

      Quality of components, accessories and feel and because some people can.
      You will noticed the extra and ride quality between the two- bit like a Toyota Corolla vs a BMW M3

      Having said that, $1k - $2k will be sufficient to get a decent bike for the regular rider starting out. $2k - $4k will get a pretty decent bike to suit most people out there.

        Ah thanks for the answer mate.

        Also lots of people race bikes on the weekends, and some race seriously with prize money. Why wouldn't you want something this good when you're a serious competitor?

        I have carbon Cannondale with 105 running gear ….$2600, next level up I couldn't justify the extra … My commuter is $1200 with 105 running gear ..,it's the sweet spot for me between $$$ and comfort.

      It's not just quality - it's fit, strength, weight, electronics, aerodynamics, etc. which may not be of any value to the buyer, depending on requirements.

      Wheels are a great example. You can buy a perfectly good paid of wheels for $300, or you can buy the best for around $20-$25,000. The wheels on those Factors are between $2000 & $3000. Apply same thinking to every part.

      Factors are great bikes, and when on special they are quite competitive compared to other brands of similar spec and perceived quality.

      I agree with the comment above - a bike between $2000 and $3000 will get you an absolutely awesome bike.

      agree with Tezza and Hammo. I bought a commuter bike and it's great and indestructible but it's heavy… but for commuting I want one that i'm not too worried about if it falls or crash. It's also no attractive enough to be stolen. But that said I prefer a road bike for longer distance riding. Whilst not the same 1k vs 10k, it's more $500 vs $3000 but the same reasons apply. Better parts, much more lighter, faster and enjoyable. Slowly upgrade the parts as you enjoy cycling or as they wear out. I can't justify buying a 10k bike in one transaction but if you have the surplus cash flow, why not ;)

      When you are competing seriously, every percentage for advantage matters.
