Dear Community,
I’m thinking about buying a new bike and could use your help with the pros and cons. I can’t really decide between two options: Aeroad CF SLX 7 Di2 or Ultimate CF SLX 8 Di2.
I’m currently on an Endurance with Ultegra Di2, but I’m looking to switch to something a bit more race-focused. When I started looking around, I decided a power meter and a better wheelset should be part of the upgrade, mostly to help justify the new bike to myself😊
With a self-set budget of around 5,000 €, I’ve realized it’s not that easy to find a bike that actually ticks all those boxes.
Here is my little list so far:
Aeroad
Pro
- Looks great
- Wheel set is more aerodynamic (rim death)
Con
- Feels like a downgrade (Ultegra vs 105)
- No powermeter
Ultimate
Pro
- Lighter
- Better frame
- Powermeter
Con
- More expensive (already over my budget)
- Wheel set is less aerodynamic (rim death)
Would be great to get a few more thoughts 🙂
