Trek

4.4

(38)

"My vote goes to the domane crew."

"Ive got 40mm tyres on mine and its still fast but mega comfy."

"If you want comfy then check out a Domane Al 4 . I went from a race frame Emonda ALR to a Domane and ooohhh my back is loving it."

"I have an endurance bike (Trek Madone) and I've been using it for tri for several years, including my first 70.3 last year, with no problems at all!"

"Bought a Domane Alr5 2017 model, it has 105. Great bike, ridden over 20k on it."

"A lot of people recommended the Trek Domane and I agree with them."

"Trek Domane for me. Has lots of mounting points. Comfortable and fast."

"Just got the Domane and absolutely love it!"

"You can never go wrong with Domane."

Canyon

"Canyon Endurace checks all those boxes and it’s also relatively aggressive."

"Maybe also have a look at canyons endurace., they have a good range of kits and prices."

"Why not look at the Canyon endurace al7? Imo it offers better value than the carbon variant and ist still a really nice bike."

"I’d also add in the Canyon Endurace into your mix. It’s what I ended up buying earlier this year."

"...you've already sold yourself on the canyon, easy choice with a powermeter should you want to take ya riding more seriously etc."

"Canyon endurance will be best value."

"I’d get the Endurace CF, it’s a great bike."

"Canyon Endurace CF7, I bought one last month and I love it to bits."

"I recommend a gravel bike and ride my Grail to work with fenders."

"Just purchased a Canyon Endurace CF SL 8 Di2, after many hours of research."

Giant

4.4

(22)

"For me in that range, I'd go for the Giant Defy, they are solid bikes which are great value for money."

"The Giant Defy advanced 2 is really all the bike most people will ever need."

"Giant typically gives you more bang for your buck and the Defy is a fine bike."

"Giant Defy is a great option."

"I was on the lookout of similar specs but will be settling in for 105 shimano Defy advanced 2 due to budget constraints."

"Joy to ride and affordable."

"For me the second I got on the Defy it JUST FIT."

"I ride a Defy and love it."

"The bike fits great and is very capable with the ability to run front and rear rack."

"I ride my Defy (advanced pro 1) the most."

Specialized

4.5

(14)

"I’m going to heartily recommend Roubaix."

"I understand that the specialized roubaix is the best luxury endurance bike."

"The standard bearer for the segment is the Specialized Roubaix, although plenty of brands offer similar bikes at similar price points."

"I rode a '21 or '22 Roubaix recently. They are pretty plush."

"I have a new Roubaix Sport and am loving it."

"Specialized roubaix."

"I ended up with the Roubaix. It’s like an armchair compared to my aluminum Allez."

"I absolutely love it, the geometry works well for my body."

"Perhaps an odd choice, but have you looked at the aluminium Specialized Diverge (Elite E5)?"

"S works Roubaix"

Cannondale

4.6

(12)

"My 2015 cannondale synapse 105 carbon was an awesome endurance. Comfortable and no issues."

"Synapse 💯"

"I have the Canondale Synapse 105 and I love love love it."

"Cannondale Synapse would be my pick."

"The comfort is superb."

"+1 for my 2017 Synapse Carbon Disc 105"

"Really comfortable. Helped me lose 80 pounds lol."

"Look around for a (used) Cannondale CAAD13 or 10, you will find them in your budget."

"I put >10,000 miles on an old synapse and it still goes strong."

"I have the Synapse 2. So far it's treated me well."

BMC

4.3

(8)

"You could look for BMC Roadmachine deals for their 2023 models."

"The BMC RoadMachine is the only one I would consider from that list."

"The BMC roadmachine has pretty aggressive geometry for an endurance bike."

"BMC Roadmachine."

"Wheelbase are currently selling the 2023 105 Di2 BMC roadmachine for £2500."

"BMC Roadmachine is another."

"BMC Roadmachine."

"Bmc gf01."

Shimano

"I‘d also go for the 105 disc. Mainly for the points already mentioned here, but I also wanna add this: The industry is moving to discs."

"105 disc has my vote. Don’t take this the wrong way, but if you’re asking this question, you’re not going to notice the weight of rim vs disc."

"105 with discs is my vote."

"I think the 105 groupset is the best value/performance ratio of any of their range."

"I would recommend going for 105 – having 11 speeds alone is reason enough."

"I'd honestly go Tiagra. Yes it's 10 speed and not 11 but it's hydraulic disc brakes and that make a big difference."

"I'd consider either of the disc versions. Lean towards 105 but would get Tiagra with disc brakes over 105 with rim brakes."

Cervelo

"Cervelo Caledonia excellent bike"

"Cervelo Aspero with two wheelsets"

"Cervelo Caledonia"

"Look at Cube, you wont get better value than that."

"The value is crazy."

Boardman

"I have the Boardman and use it daily on my commute 18km each way, very happy with it."

"Another shout for the Boardman SLR 8.9c, cracking bike for the money and a really good frame it would be worth upgrading around in the future."

"I’ve got a Boardman ADV 8.9."

"I’d go for the Boardman tbh."

"Boardman SLR 8.9 Disk Carbon is £1,700 if you could save an extra £200?"

#11

Ribble

4.8

(4)

"The Ribble CGR line is fantastic."

"Is one of the few endurance bikes in your price range that comes with carbon wheels."

"Have found it great so far and lots of customisation for components."

"Add Ribble CGR to the list!"
