Canyon V's Cube Vs Cannondale Caad 10

tim_wand

Looking to buy a new road bike in January as a 40th Birthday present to myself ( I know bit of a MAMIL) but I ve had all sorts of bikes for years.

Dale would be a Caad 10 (105) or Super Six (105) @ £1299 or £1799 respectively
I have ridden neither and not even seen a Caad 10. Last dale I had was a Caad 5 and I loved that. I ve no snob values over Carbon versus ally either just think £500 is a lot of difference.

Other bikes entering the equation are Cube Agree HTC pro, @ £1499, seen one but never ridden one but looks superb.

And finally Canyon 7.0 roadlite @ £1012. Full ultegra ritchey WCS fininshing kit and Mavic Askiums (Serious value ) but again absolubtley no experience of Canyons

Any experience opinion or advise would be appreciated, will probably be leaving decision until the London show so I can see all bikes in the flesh.

I need this bike for everything from sprint triathlons to an end to end but comfort is not a main concern

I'd have to choose the CAAD10.

Or if your budget can stretch I'm about to buy this;

This is a far far better than the Canyon Roadlite.

Be good to compare a higher spec CAAD10 and the Six.

And being Cannondale test rides are easy to come by unlike other retailers.

Is that worth £200 more than the standard AL?

All excellent choices

I was limiting component choice on the dale to 105 for the Caad 10 as I was going to spend the extra money on a better set of wheels for the sprint tri's and use the rs 10's for training.

Still cant get over the value of the Canyon bikes, but cant wait to see a Caad 10 in the flesh.

Shame they've taken out the hour glass stays in favour for the "save" system ( does it work or is it just a gimmick to justify the rear triangle change? cant imagine the boys in Taiwan were too keen to replicate it at a cost.

will definitely ride the Caad 10 and super six back to back when oppurtunity arises.

Oh believe me it is. That framset is as good as a Cannondale CAAD.

I've owned three CAADs 5,8 & 9.

My money would be on that Canyon /ultimate Al I think. Seems excellent value to me, and it looks really good.

It would have been a serioyus contender when buying my S1, but I didnt know it existed at the time!!

CAAD10 is very nice too. Either way I doubt you'd be dissapointed.
