The Fezzari Shafer AL is the least expensive model in the brand's line of Shafer gravel bikes, and the only one that is built around an aluminum frame. This entry-level bike has a sleek design and comes equipped with budget-friendly but quality components that are ready to get out and explore the back roads straight out of the box. The moderate gravel geometry is quite easy to get along with, and while it doesn't necessarily feel racy, it performs admirably on both the climbs and descents. With a surprisingly light weight &#40;for an aluminum framed model&#41; of 21 lbs and 11 oz and a stiff aluminum frame paired with a rigid carbon fork, the Shafer AL feels responsive and efficient, and it is best suited to smooth gravel, pavement, and the mellowest of singletrack trails. While it may not have as many accessory mounts as some of the other models we tested, we feel it is still quite versatile and could handle everything from casual gravel rides with friends, jumping into some gravel events, commuting, road riding, and even bikepacking with frame, handlebar, and seat-mounted bags.  
While it's hard to argue with the value proposition of the Shafer AL, we do have a few nits to pick. It is a rigid framed bike, and, not surprisingly, we found it to be a bit harsh over some of the rough gravel we often encountered while testing. We also found the relatively slick stock tires to offer less cornering, braking, and climbing traction than we would have liked, and the thin bar tape wasn't the most comfortable on the hands. It also has fewer accessory mounts than many other models we've tested, limiting your options for attaching gear to your bike, comparatively. That said, we feel this is a great option for riders getting into the sport that won't break the bank.

 I really like the Fezzari and Canyon because they are direct to consumer. Really great value for money.

I'm familiar with the world of MTB and have a hardtail &amp; full suspension each in the $2000-2500 range.  Both have Shimano Deore 1x12.  

I'd like to get something w/ disc brakes &amp; good shifting - even if it's not high end.  I plan to casually gravel bike.  

A couple friends have Orbea Terras and like them.  What other bikes should I consider in this price range?

Gravel Newbie: Which bikes to consider for &lt; $2500? Important component considerations? (I'm familiar with MTB)

 We're running a larger offset at 50 millimeters on the fork and that was a design decision that we made in order to keep that trail number. Um, you know it's really technical. Uh, you know, with some of that terminology, it's basically that contact patch of that tire where that's sitting under that under that wheel by. you know Past, they have the typical round seat clamps that if you over tighten them or things like that, it would actually break the seat post

 Um, with that that allows that front end to stay stable as the roads get rough and and things get, uh, you know, maybe you're on gravel road or getting into a little single track, you still have that front end stability. But we also wanted to address with that slacker head tube angle, how do we keep the slow speed turning quick? And that was with our fork offset. We're running a larger offset at 50 millimeters on the fork and that was a design decision that we made in order to keep that trail number. Um, you know it's really technical

 And that's custom quality. Direct through our 23-point custom setup that I mentioned a little bit earlier, we fit the bike to each individual rider. So for instance, if you're five foot ten and have a 31 31 inch inseam, the next rider is 5 foot 10, have a 35 inch inseam, and they're going to need a different stem length or crank length or or bar width or something like that to fit their proportions to their body size. Instead of taking that medium or large size frame and just thinking, here's what comes on the bike

Shafer | One on One With The Product Manager

 Of course, the clutched rear derailleur keeps things quiet on even the roughest terrain.

Sizing: I’m 5’11” and found the medium to be a good fit using a 110mm stem. I think a large would be better with a 90mm stem and more inline with how Fezzari typically recommends.

Fezzari Shafer Elite Campagnolo Ekar Review - FeedTheHabit.com

 The chainstays are still pretty short at 430 millimeters, and that's despite having tire clearance for 700 by 50 mil Knobbies front and rear. As far as the bottom bracket goes, you get a pretty generous 77 mils of drop, so you have a nice low center of gravity again for nice stability. So while you do have that extra stability from the longer wheelbase and that longer front center, you can still steer the front end around pretty easily thanks to that sort of quicker geometry up front. Another thing that's nice about that longer front end is if toe overlap is something that really bothers you, this one has very little of it, particularly given how it has bigger tires

 A lot of carbon frames are claimed to be you know, they called monocot construction basically one piece. However, in almost every one of those cases, what you have is a one piece front triangle that's bonded to separate chainstays and seat stays in the case of the visari. However, the entire frame really is made as one piece. It's a true monocoque according to Fizzari

 There's another water bottle mount underneath the down tube. You've got top tube feedback mounts. You've got another set of mounts up here for a repair kit front and rear fender mounts. You also have anything mounts on each fork blade, so there's plenty of carrying capacity

 The front center is a lot longer, the top tube's longer, the stem is shorter, and and the benefits of that setup are just like what you have with other gravel bikes that use that sort of new school geometry. By pushing that front wheel further out in front of you, you have a little bit more stability. you can really kind of charge and push the butt, push the front of the bike through slippery corners. It's a lot more confidence inspiring when things get really slippery, especially when things get steep out back

 The first part that hits the oncoming air specialist has redeveloped its aerofly bar system, so this is errorfly 2 now and although it doesn't look hugely different to the first generation, if i'm honest um specialized does say, has worked hard on the integration of the cables and To keep that as slick and seamless as possible, and actually one thing that is really nice while we're talking simplicity here, is that this is a two-piece system, not a one-piece bar and stem. So it's essentially the same as a standard, traditional handlebar and stem just with a neat way of integrating all that cabling. In fact, if i just flick that top cap off there, you can actually see underneath there is yeah, essentially just a standard bar stem setup, but with all the aerodynamic gains, obviously elsewhere for aerodynamics up front, then we've got new tube profiles for the head tube and The fork blades and new frame shapes as well that specialized says has been the result of countless iterations through cfd and also wind tunnel testing to really refine those shapes down and find that balance. But hey you know: if that's not your bag, then there is a more corporate red version of this in the dura race: di2 [ Applause, ], spec, [, Music ]

 In 2015, when specialized developed the avenge virus, an even faster version, which it claimed at the time, was a full two minutes quicker than the tarmac over 40 kilometers by 2018, though, the gap between those two key models had definitely started to narrow, whilst the venge had Got faster, it was also significantly lighter and also more comfortable and was starting to become a bit more of an all-round performer. Meanwhile, the tarmac sl6, a bike which had no problem at all, hitting that uci minimum weight limit of 6.8 kilos was definitely more aerodynamic, so it seems almost natural progression, then that we've ended up here. With this, the tarmac sl7, the convergence of those two bikes and all the learning that specialized gained from the venge and the tarmac into one bike

8 kilos was definitely more aerodynamic, so it seems almost natural progression, then that we've ended up here. With this, the tarmac sl7, the convergence of those two bikes and all the learning that specialized gained from the venge and the tarmac into one bike. What that means for specialized pro riders is no longer having to make a choice for which bike to ride come race day, and that's because specialized says this s works. Fact 12r frame set weighs just 800 grams, which means it'll have no problem hitting that uci minimum weight limit

New Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7 2021 Review

 You'Ve got the dt swiss ratchet internals [, Music ]. One thing to note is that they are clincher only which is certainly going against the grain for competitors like trek, with its bond tracker, wheels or or zip or envy, where tubeless is very much a thing, or at least an offering there specialized found that they can Make the clincher only version lighter than a clincher slash tubeless? You can feel the front wheel getting pushed around more than a box rim for sure, but they do feel shallower than they actually are, and the pressure when you do feel a strong crosswind coming across is like many similar snub, nose profiles more of a steady thing And not just a quick jerky thing, which is disconcerting, especially when you're going fast. The handlebars, the aerofly 2 we've seen on the vias before, is a in my world, a goldilocks solution to having the benefits of an aero handlebar while still having some adjustability we've. Seen

 This bike, darn well, should be incredible and in my few days of riding it here in the mountains of colorado, it's proven to be that now, let's look at some of the details that go into making this bike so special and i'll talk about how it feels To ride out on the road, [ Music ], let's start with the chassis, the heart of the matter here in size 56 we're talking 800 grams, which is light for any frame, but particularly for a bike with aero capabilities with the sl7. What specialized has done is merge the venge, its long-standing aero bike, with the tarmac, it's all-around road race bike, so you're getting the aero qualities of the vengevis according to specialized. The new tarmac is just as fast as that bike, but it's a whopping kilogram lighter, which is crazy. Other details that are critical to the bike, of course, are the wheels and the cockpit so especially did something unique with the rovol rapid rapid

 The handlebars, the aerofly 2 we've seen on the vias before, is a in my world, a goldilocks solution to having the benefits of an aero handlebar while still having some adjustability we've. Seen. Many companies go with the integrated bar stem, which is certainly the fastest in a wind tunnel. The only problem there is you get one set of angles and that's how it came

 Sram'S, got some fun gearing options going on with its 12 speed group. This has a 48 35 chainring and chain rings. I should say paired to a 10 33 cassette, a 35 33 i have discovered and appreciated, is a wonderful option to have if you're a heavier person going up the mountains. The 4810 is not quite as big as a 5311, but it's still, i found plenty fast

Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7 Review

 It is a fantastic riding bike, a few blemishes, perhaps not quite perfect, but very, very impressive frame set and handlebar setup and a bike. I reckon that could last you for a good few years anyway, that has been my review of the brand new specialized tarmac sr7 comp. Hopefully it's in stock. Now i don't know if it is but i'll, put a link to her website down below and don't forget to check out the giro clothing at the link down below as well and get 30 discount on this fantastic, looking clothing

 It'S not a bike for riding. Slowly and taking the view around, you is to get your head down pushing hard on the pedals and really going as fast as you can. It clearly borrows heavily from an avenge you replace and feels almost as quick in my testing and definitely feels faster than the old sl6. My small hands much nicer, slightly more ergonomic, so it's a real achievement in my book

 So nice tires fast, grippy and durable. A really comfy power saddle love the shape of these saddles and a nice compact shaped alloy handlebar, a shame, perhaps not to have a carbon handlebar, but an easy upgrade down the line either a carbon round handlebar or an aero handlebar. Getting more speed out of this bike - and i mentioned for a super - cast bar tape, which is really thin but grippy, my preference for a thin bar tape, lots of feel through the handlebars but nice and grippy when you're not running with gloves for reference, then this Is a size 56 i'm about centimeters and, apart from a stem being a bit short and a bit too high, it fits me like a glove. If i buy on the bike i fit along a stem, i slam it a little bit

 That'S the only change i make to summarize my thoughts on how the tarmac sl7 rides and performs and handles. I think, in my opinion, it steers closer to an aero road bike like the old venge. It feels much more like that bike in terms of speed and a stiffness and the handling, and sadly it's lost some of the smoothness, some of the compliance of the old sl6, which will matter or not, depending on what you want from your race bike. If it's pure speed and aggression you'll love this bike, if you want a smooth ride, there are better options in my opinion, but it's still a fantastic bike

Specialized Tarmac SL7 Comp Review: The Budget S-Works

 The other way you can get an s-works is to buy a frame set, which costs three thousand. Seven hundred and fifty pounds, but of course there are cheaper ways to get your hands on an sl7 tarmac, i'm going to take you through the range and in time on a tradition, because i can't keep that many numbers in my head at once. I'M going to refer to my notes: the cheapest tarmac sl7 is the expert model which costs 4 750 pounds and has a shimano ultegra di2 group set. It'S got alloy wheels and it weighs a claimed 7

 I suspect that many of you will want a pro model and maybe make selective upgrades to bring it up to spec, but if you want to have the best, obviously it's going to have to be the s works right now there isn't what you might call a Cheap sl7, however, the old sl6 tarmac is sticking around as a model. For now, the cheapest model is the sl6 sport with a shimano 105 hydraulic group set and that costs 2 500 pounds. Finally, the tarmac sl6 comp with altegra is 3250 pounds, so there you have it. The tarmac sl7 is a very serious bicycle for very serious cyclists

 The seat stays the head tube and the fork legs, as a complete package specialized, was really keen to make this bike as light as the outgoing tarmac disc, but as aero as it possibly could be. The result of all this work is that specialized claims that this bike, as a complete package is 45 seconds faster over 40 kilometers than the old tarmac sl6 specialized claim that, despite all of those aero advantages, this frame weighs the same as the outgoing tarmac disc, 800 Grams, that's compared to 960 grams claimed for the venge. Now those weights are for painted size, 56 frames. Apparently i'm sure some of you will be saying, but isn't the trek of under sub 700 grams? No, it's not because that is an unpainted weight

 Seat stays are almost a given on a bike like this. These days it seems, although some like tracks neomonda, don't have drops each days. A lot of manufacturers like this design feature because it's an easy way to add rear end lateral stiffness with some vertical compliance, and also there may be an arrow advantage depending on how they go about it. You will feel the road there's, no question: i'm running a specialized roubaix as a long-termer at the moment, which has the future shock at the front and a massive amount of compliance built into the rear end, because the seat post can flex a huge amount and the Difference is pretty stark between the two bikes, i'm not criticizing the sl7 for being uncomfortable, but if you're thinking of buying a bike like this don't go into it thinking
