Best of Test 2025: The most expensive & cheapest professional bike of the year

The most expensive road bike of 2025: Baldiso One

With its frame construction without a seat tube, the Baldiso One is reminiscent of carbon experiments from the 1990s. Technologically, however, the golden racer turned out to be at the cutting edge: 6.6 kilograms light, extremely torsion-resistant and competitively fast in the aero test. However, the strictly limited design object is not suitable for competition due to the lack of UCI approval, and the much too tight single gear ratio sets additional limits. 18,720 euros is the asking price for this collector's item.

• Weight: 6.6 kilogrammes
• Price: 18720 Euro

The cheapest road bike 2025: Canyon Endurace Allroad

999 euros for a racing bike? It's been a long time since we've been able to find anything worthy of consideration in this price range. With the Endurace Allroad, Canyon 2025 presented a bike that is heavy and only moderately comfortable, but otherwise shows hardly any weaknesses. The handling is impeccable, the riding position comfortable, the contact points even very comfortable. A pleasing counterpoint to many technically great, but unfortunately very expensive test bikes.

• Weight: 10.8 kilogrammes
• Price: 999 Euro

The cheapest professional road bike 2025: Cube Litening Aero C:68X SLX

The Litening Aero is the most prominent product, but is just one example of the spectacular offerings from the Cube brand: at € 7,299, it costs less than half of what other manufacturers charge for comparable bikes at World Tour level. In every comparison in which the manufacturer was represented, it set similar accents in terms of price and performance. This does not always lead to a test victory, but shows that exceptions to the rule are possible.

• Weight: 7.3 kilogrammes
