Helpful list for sure! I did notice that the notes below Canyon Aeroad 2021 still say "lowest level lock of any frame on this list" which is no longer true since the Felt AR got lowered to 23.

are climbing wheels like Lightweights better for the KOM climbs like Volcano KOM? or is it always Aero (disc wheelset) unless you’re doing Alpe/Epic etc ? Thanks

In reply to Buzz. There would be such a mathematical solution for the best bike weight and aerodynamics if you were considering a solo performance on any given course, but even in the solo ride situation it isn't an easy solution. Outside of the solo ride situation, though, the most efficient bike for a solo performance won't be very relevant to a race situation (other than a time trial). Head-to-head race performance very much depends on your particular capabilities and how you intend to ride a race, the presence of other riders around you and what they are doing. If you are at your very best as a climber, then you would probably want to ride a climbing bike pretty much no matter what and then attack every climb and otherwise stay in the draft and hope for the best. If you are a big motor and you intend to try to go on a solo breakaway (out of the draft) on a long flat course, you would probably want to be on the lightest aero bike you could find. On the other hand, you don't really need to be on an aero bike to take advantage of the draft if you intend to sit in all day in the pack and hope for the best in a final sprint.

I wonder how the new Madone will do on the flats. Also if the 51mm medium depth wheels is a negative compared to RSL62’s or positive as a more all round bike

In reply to Mark Simnett.

Disagree as on flat weight be it slow to get going totally gets more momentum but for once going flats and weight is where a rock can fly …

In Zwift times I raced with a lighter bike and lightweight wheels for the few climbs that were in the loop and I had to pedal much harder

In reply to Cody. and in that respect the S5 2020 is definitely the better bike than the Uranium Nuclear, because it LOOKS faster
