Detailed review of 5 awesome endurance road bikes.
Cannondale vs trek vs specialized vs giant. In this in depth review i want to share my best thoughts on trek cannondale and specialized bikes. You can call up for example a specialized road bike s specifications manufacturer s suggested retail price and user ratings followed by the same information for a trek. In the end you ll have to make a decision yourself. Any other suggestions are welcome but these are my top picks.
While i m pretty sure that factory is still running they opened a bigger production facility in mainland china a few years ago. Brands like trek cannondale and specialized tend to have one step lower component grade at the same price or a higher price with the same components than brands such as diamondback giant or. I am looking at a bike in the 900 range and i am looking at the specialized rockhopper cannondale trail sl 4 and trek 4300 disc. When you are talking about brands that you ll find in bike stores cannondale trek look giant specialized felt etc the best bike is the one with geometry that best fits you.
Their frames will be a touch less fancy and a little heavier than the big names like trek specialized and giant. Buy it by your needs. Don t buy a bike by it s brand. The cheaper specialized bikes are made of with aluminum while the expensive bikes are built with carbon frames just like trek and cannondale.
If your budget is limited it s best to look at other brands. The main giant factory used to be in taichung taiwan. Both cannondale and specialized excel at making top quality bikes and they come at a price. The bikes covered include the trek domane sl5 specialized roubaix sport cannondale synapse canyon endurace cf sl7 and giant defy advanced 2.
Giant gives you the most bang for the buck in the lower and mid range. Go for a giant if you want to spend between 800 and 2 000 go for a specialized bike if you have 5 000 or more to spend. That s my conclusion but it s a bit generic. Or try pedalsmonkey which allows side by side comparisons of the two brands as well as cannondale schwinn giant and scott bikes.
As well as a few other well known brands. Specialized is more active in the high end bike market. One thing that bumps diamondback s prices a little lower is the fact that they ve more or less abandoned the small independent bike dealer in favor of big box sporting goods stores and online dealers.
