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

 Um. For a start, it seems like a sensible approach. You know, given the kind of thing this bike is designed for and as well as that, most of us, myself included, don't batter along at 45 kilometers an hour on the flat anyway. So a bike - that's specifically designed to be aerodynamic at slower speeds - seems like a pretty good idea for the mass market

. Now, at the original point of the amount launch, the delineation was simple: the madone was the aero bike and the demane was the comfortable bike and the emonda was the light bike. Now things aren't quite as simple now, because in case you haven't noticed, everything needs to be aero, so the new demane, which was launched last year got more aerodynamic at the expense of a bit of weight gain. And you know the same kind of thing is happening here, although it's not exactly the same thing sounds a bit complicated, but it's not really that complicated

 So, instead of that, trek has picked the climb of alp dues. Now the benchmark test used during the development of this bike is a notional 70 kilo rider putting out 350 watts up the 21 famous hairpins uh. The thinking is that if the bike is quicker on the climb on that climb, then it also be quicker. You know on a bunch of other climbs too right, because road speeds are lower when climbing trek has mostly concentrated on what it says are unsteady airflows during development, so, rather than turning up the wind tunnels to 45 kilometers an hour for all those

 You can see the cable routing is very neatly enclosed here now the slr bikes get a new aolus rsl vrc, integrated, handlebar and stem, which has been designed alongside the frame trek says that that new bar is 10 more efficient than the previous version, and actually that's A significant chunk of the bike's overall aero benefit that new aero cockpit is light too, with weights from 272 grams to 295, depending on the reach and the width. So the cables both for this bike and the slr bikes aren't actually internal but they're hidden as much as possible, so in the aolus bar they run in a channel underneath the bar and into the headset spaces. That means that you can swap the bars without having to cut your brake hoses and re-route everything which is pain. The spacers here on this bike and on the slr bike are split too, so you can change the stem height without any issues as well

Hands on with the brand NEW 2021 Trek Emonda - Their fastest climbing bike ever

 Now the bike is based on an old tiger or 8000 group set. I'Ve said a lot about all tegra in the past, but I gave it 5 stars when I first reviewed. It is honestly almost flawless for a group set of this price and just about as good as it gets for mechanical shifting in terms of the gearing choice, I think it's a perfect match for this bike. They'Ve got a 52-36 crank set with an 11:30 cassette in the back, so you get a gear which is spinning enough, also fast enough for the flats

 You know relatively light weight performance with decent Aero performance. It'S kind of a best of both worlds situation, where you're getting kind of a climbers wheel. Also something that's going to complement the arrow shape of the frame the wheels are. Of course, it is 2020 afterall tubeless compatible

 It is worth mentioning. The bike has a short caged derailleur, which means you are officially limited to an 1132 set. So if you want something slightly easier, I mean, if you're alpine climbing holiday, whenever we're allowed to do those you will need to go for smaller chain rings. If you want an easier gear, [, Music ]

 With a chunky head tube, it does feel really good as you heavily brake into corners and again that I kind of superfast - and I hate myself for saying it but feedback rich ride is, is totally addictive and it's just really fun. Now the only thing that really holds this bike back are the tires. Now the Bontrager are three tires themselves are fine, they feel perfectly fast plenty grit, but I do not know why track aspect 25ml tires on this bike. Other bikes in the amond range come with twenty

NEW Trek Emonda | Addictive! Fun! Uncompromising Disc-Only Race Bike

 I prefer a slightly twitchier road bike. I love the feel of you know of it. You know how it handles and corners and having that direct response, i prefer something that isn't a little bit: uh slacker, i guess yeah, okay, so so that that fast witcher response was something that i really enjoyed yeah and it's interesting because uh i try not to Look at geometry, charts before i ride the bike uh, because i can influence what you you think you feel and this one i could have sworn had a steeper head angle and a shorter trail figure than some of the other bikes were testing. But then i looked at the german sheet chart afterwards and there it was actually quite similar, and then it made me realize that it's the way they've set this bike up

 I thought they climbed really well um and at speed, possibly because of the weight they you know, held their speed, really well. Yeah yeah um, of course, shimano ultegra mechanical, very tough default. It just works. It'S a workhorse! It'S why the bikes of our field test have that group set and it's why it's such a popular price point

 You can pretty much fit any width road tire you want in there and, let's be honest, the the fitting of the 25 out of the box is probably a bit of a weight, saving uh game as well yeah. You definitely want to be riding with 20 28's on this one yeah. I think 28 felt great on this bike and it did help just that little bit with the comfort level without taking away that feedback. So it was a nice upgrade andy

 The trekker monde sl6 pro comes shimano, ultegra equipped and lands at 3799 us dollars. Anyway. All this talk of a light stiff twitchy bike really makes me want to get out and see how it performs in the hills: [, Music, ], [, Music, ] you're joining us today from ringer reef winery in victoria's high country. Now we're in the township of bright, which is a town, that's surrounded by long alpine climbs, and it really is an area that straightaway, when i think of it, i think about riding road bikes in the hills, and that brings us to the bike we have behind Us the new trek, amanda sl6 pro, which just came out and we've previously covered james, swung, had covered and reviewed the higher end top tier model

2021 Trek Emonda SL Pro 6 road bike review: for the climb lovers

 The bike has also endured some local mtb trails, and is very maneuverable on switchbacks for a drop bar bike. 

 This bike has been very durable and the carbon fork does a great job off soothing out gravel surfaces. Prior to this bike I used an old Trek X01 cycle cross bike with an added lower gear ratio and this bike is night and day more comfortable and stable. Coming from a mtb background this is all I have to compare it to. In addition to being comfortable and stable at speed, the bike is extremely durable

 During one race in the desert, I came down a couple different steep plateaus traveling between 40 and 50 mph and hit numerous washouts which had dried out and were as hard as concrete which created some really hard hits during the race and surprisingly the rims never needed truing (although I had the whole bike checked out following that race). The bike is stable when hitting loose sections of gravel/sand. The GRX group set is outstanding and is so smooth shifting, and the clutched rear derailleur does an excellent job of keeping the chain from getting dropped during high speed descents on rough roads. The GRX hydraulic brakes do an excellent job keeping things under control during the many steep gravel descents in this part of the country; my old caliper brakes on my X01 used to fade and the entire rim would get too hot to touch

Yes I would buy this bike again

 If you are entry level rider and can afford this price, I say go for it as you will be very happy! Shoutout to Bicycle Central in Glendora for always the great service.

 I was debating between this and the domane al 2, with the major difference being the components and brakes. Price point is relatively steep for someone getting into cycling but definitely worth it! I feel that I can grow with this bike and enjoy it for years to come! I also enjoy the disc brakes and more tire clearance which can allow some versatility. If you are entry level rider and can afford this price, I say go for it as you will be very happy! Shoutout to Bicycle Central in Glendora for always the great service.

Great Entry Level Bike
