Planet x pro carbon ultegra vs eastway emitter R2 ultegra

ivirero

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a carbon bike with a maximum of 8kg for less than 1600€, with an 105/ultegra groupset.

The canyon endurance CF 7.0 was my first choice, but after seeing whats going on with the Canyon order's I'm thinking about other options.
I've seen the new Planet x Pro carbon with a total weight of 8kg and an ultegra 6800 full set. And also the new wiggle's Eastway Emitter R2 with an ultegra fullset and only 7.3kg.

I don't mind about the bike looking, but the best components. Planet X has vision team 35 wheelset, and emitter has Mavik aksium. The remaining components from the planet X are brandmade, while the emitter has ritchey kit.

Could you advice me what is the best option based on the components? I'm a little bit lost :oops:

The Canyon bike is the ultimate CF SL 7.0 with 7.6kg and full 105

Just saw this linked in another thread. Not sure of the current £:€ exchange rate but the Supersix Evo is pretty light and to me it looks a bargain.

Its about the limit, but I did not see this model, and it seems really really interesting... better than the planet x pro and maybe the emitter, not sure about the canyon

If you can build it yourself you'll save a bit as well. I'm about to build mine and as far as i know the frame is NOT chinese open mould but rather sepcifically designed for Viner before they became part of PX (not that chinese open mould would necessarily mean a frame is bad).
