In the world of cycling, aerodynamics is  king. And when it comes to aero bikes,   every second saved counts.  Which is why in todays video,   we’re diving into what we think are the 5  best aero bikes in 2024, that are setting  

The standard for speed and performance.  Now without further ado lets dive right in. First on the list we have the new Factor Ostro  Vam! This beauty boasts major updates compared to   outgoing version and has seen major improvements  in aerodynamics, weight and stiffness. In terms  

Of aerodynamics the developement team of factor  focused on the front end of the bike and made   their way to the back. Utilitzing a method  of Rapid Iteration and dynamic simulation,   they were able to visulze airflow in 3d to  determine the best combination of tube shapes.  

They landed on a true airfoil type profile  and I won’t go into to much detail as to what   specifically was changed but everything from the  fork, headttube, top tube, seat post and seat tube   were all slimmed down, tapered and optimised  to significantly reduce drag. And they managed  

To do this all while reducing the weight by 7%  to hit that 6.8 kilo UCI weight limit and keep   the stiffness the same. Factor claims that these  changes save 7 watts at 48kph and that the bike   is more aero than the sl8 and cervelo s5. Then  to further compliment the aerodynamic frame,  

The Ostro Vam features as mentioned before a  15mm aero seatpost, aero integrated bottles   cages which works to redirect and attach air flow  around the bottles and tubes, neutralising drag,   the new Black Inc 48/58 wheelset which now  weighs 1,250g saving you an extra 219 grams  

Over the previous model and have been optimised  for 28mm wheels and real world wind conditions.   Lastly it features the AB02 aero cockpit with  fully integrated cable routing which not only   looks great but provides improved ergonomics  and aerodynamics in the front end. All in  

All a solid bike for the price not for only  sprinting but also climbing and grand fondos. Next up on the list we have the Canyon Aeroad.  Featuring World Championship-winning technology,   this bike offers unparalleled speed and stability  at an “affordable” price compared to other aero  

Bikes with the flagship model coming in at 9499  euros. Which with a Dura Ace Di2 groupset, power   meter and high quality frame is fantastic! The Frame itself spent time in the wind tunnel, went through  multiple CFD simulations and was developed   in cooperation with Swiss Side. A company  specialising in aerodynamics with roots  

In Formula One. It features deep  elongated truncated tube shapes,   however slightly more slimmed down to  the previous model to save some weight,   that curved seat tube to protect the rear wheel  from head on wind and reduce drag and seamless   lines and transitions between frame and fork.  In terms of components to further contribute  

Towards aerodynamics, it features a deep aerodynmic  seat post, deep 62mm wheelset on majority of the Aeroads and the revolutionarily and highly   adjustable once piece fully intergrated aero  cockpit. Most of the time once piece cockpits   are a pain as you cant simply swap out stems  etc however the cockpit from canyon allows you  

To adjust the width by up to 40mm and the height  by 15mm. It is also foldable for easier transport.   Lastly it has a great stiffness to weight ratio  providing solid power transfer especially when   sprinting out the saddle however weight wise it  is not the lightest of the bunch due to the deeper  

Tubes and wheels with the flagship model coming  in at 7.34kg in size M with the dura ace setup. Third on the list we have the Trek Madone. Now  in the beginning I was not a fan of the look of  

This bike but it has grown on me! This bike spent  plenty of time in the wind tunnel, features fine   details and was met with never before seen tech  to make it faster, lighter and more comfortable.   Trek claims that the SLR7 is 19 watts faster than  the previous model which translates to 60 seconds  

Per hour when riding at 45kmh. Which is insane!  and that it is approximately 300grams lighter,   weighing around 7.10 kg in size 54. They  managed to do this by introducing their   latest version of the kammtail virtual foil  tube shape which signicantally reduces drag.

They also included a new one piece cockpit which is  aerodnmically optimised especially in the back   end of the stem and the hoods have been also  tilted inward about 3cm which not only improves   comfort but also aerodynamics due to a smaller  frontal surface area of the rider. However the  

Biggest update is the IsoFlow technology which  replaced the Isospeed tech of the previous model.   The isoflow tech was introduced to combat three  critical points. Weight, comfort and aerodynamics.   As there is literally now a hole in the bike,  and paired with the high quality 800 OCLV carbon  

Material on the SLR version, trek was able to  shed a significant amount of weight. In terms of   comfort the IsoFlow also allows the Cantileverd  Seatmast to considerably flex and together with   the thinned out top tube provide solid vertical  compliance and comfort all while maintaining  

A high level of lateral stiffness for power  transfer. Then Lastly in terms of aerodynamics,   the isoflow tech basically smoothens, channels and  accelerates turbulent air typically found in the   front triangle and shoots it out the back end of  the bike reducing drag and increasing speed. Every  

Detail on the bike works in perfect unison and  this bike is a true masterpiece of engineering. A list of top aero bikes cannot be complete  without the beautiful and fast Cervelo S5.   This bike has an extensive list of achievements  including taking the yellow jersey at last years  

Tour de France. For this bike Cervélo took  complete advantage of UCIs new regulations to   reduce drag. They have deepened and narrowed down  the tube profiles giving a more NACA tube shape   which is especially noticeable in the headtube,  bottom bracket area and seat stays. This allows  

Air so stay attached longer to the bike and reduce  drag. The bike is also no longer available in   mechanical which allowed Cervelo to clean up the  seat and chainstays. Then also very noticeable is   how the frame closely hugs the wheelset and tires  with the cuts outs in the front and a curved seat  

Tube in the rear. This allows for smooth airflow transfer and   air attachment between the frame and wheels.  Speaking of the wheels the new Reserve 52|63   wheelset was designed specially for the S5 to  complement the aerodynamic enhancements of the  

Frame, saving 5 watts over the previous model and  are optimised for 28mill tires for less rolling   resistance. Lastly the cockpit! The V-handlebar  not only allows riders to find their most optimal   and aggressive riding position but also allows  head on wind to travel straight through and stick  

To the top tube. Although not the lightest  coming in at around 8kg in size 54 or the   cheapest. The Cervélo S5 is extremely fast, has  great handling even though it has quite a short   wheelbase and is somewhat comfortable for an  aero bike. The perfect bike to chase podiums.

Last on our list we have the Scott Foil RC, which is  another beautiful looking bike in my opinion and   boasts impressive numbers. Like the other bikes  on this list Scott took full advantage of the UCI   regulations. They chucked it in the wind tunnel  and significantly deepened the tube profiles,  

Smoothened the transitions and decreased the  frontal area by highering the fork crown and   slimming the handlebar to reduce drag and cut  through wind. The thick head tube not only allows   for full integration of cables but according to  Scott also acts as a fairing splitting head on  

Wind, increasing streamlining and reducing drag.  Interestingly, they also significantly dropped   the seat stays to increase comfort as it allows  the seat tube to flex more but to also decrease   air resistance and drag. They also titled them 10  degrees inward to force the air into the spinning  

Spokes of the wheel to once again increase  speed. Speaking of comfort the new 2 piece   sycnros seatpost noticeably bends, filtering out  bumps and vibrations from the road. The same goes   for the handlebar, when riding in the drops the  handlebar stiffens for better power transfer  

But when riding the hoods it is more compliant  filtering out vibrations. All these changes and   attention to fine details such as carbon layup,  components etc led to an increase in speed of 16   watts translating to 1 minute and 18 seconds  saved over an 45 km course when going 45kmh,  

10% increase in comfort and even with all the  aero updates 9% lighter than than the outgoing   model which is very impressive. It tips the scales  at 7.28kg in size 54 which is not bad at all for  

An aero bike like this one. Making it all in all  a great bike for those looking for all out speed   on the flats and those break away situations but  also something that can tackle climbs with ease.  

Price wise not the cheapest but it is great to see  that there is a wide range of options available. And there you have it! The top 5 aero  bikes that are pushing the boundaries   of cycling performance and that are all round  fantastic bikes!
