The most expensive bikes in the World Tour 2025

Cycling is one of the few sports where any fan can have at home equipment identical to that used by their idols in the most important races in the world. Obviously, we are talking about top-of-the-range bicycles with a price in line with the performance they offer and the level of equipment. But which are the most expensive among those used by World Tour teams?

These are the most exclusive bikes in the World Tour

Between 14,000 and 16,000 euros. That is the price range where we find the 5 most expensive bikes in the World Tour, obviously, not counting the time trial bikes whose price skyrockets as the Italian Wilier showed us a few days ago with the launch of their new time trial bike that reaches 30,000 euros.

Not all brands have exact replicas of those used by professional teams, which often have alternative sponsorships for specific components such as wheels, saddle, or peripherals. However, sometimes bike brands do release a specific version identical to that used by the team as a commercial hook for customers eager to have the same equipment as the professionals.

5. Trek Madone SLR 9 AXS Gen 8 - 13,999 euros

Trek is one of the brands that does offer a setup that, except for personal choices of the cyclists, is identical to that used by the professionals of Lidl-Trek. In addition, the team's color scheme is included among the standard designs without having to resort, as in the past, to personalized decorations through the Project One program.

The Lidl-Trek Trek Madone bikes mount the new version of the SRAM Red AXS group with an integrated power meter in its chainring assembly and the fabulous Bontrager Aeolus wheels. Undoubtedly, one of the most spectacular aerolight bikes on the market thanks to the peculiar IsoFlow design of its seat tube.

4. Cannondale SuperSix EVO Lab71 Team - 14,999 euros

Lab71 represents excellence within Cannondale's range of bikes with much more careful manufacturing and the best materials to extract the most from its star road bike within the range. A few months ago, this special Team version was added, which exactly reproduces the setup used by the cyclists of EF Education-EasyPost.

An assembly with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 but in which the components of the Italian brand FSA stand out, a traditional supplier of Jonathan Vaughters' structure teams, including the FSA K-Force Team Edition cranks with Powerbox power meter. Also from the Italians, in this case signed by their aerodynamic components division, are the spectacular Vision Metron 60 SL wheels.

3. Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 - 14,500 euros

Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe and Soudal-QuickStep have one of the most desired bikes on the market, and also one of the most seen on the road. Specialized bikes have become over the years a coveted object and status symbol for many, a kind of iPhone of bicycles.

Both teams use the latest version of their Tarmac, the S-Works SL8 with all the components from Specialized, including their Roval wheels. However, the Belgian team uses Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 group while the Germans use SRAM Red AXS. Both versions are found in the brand's catalog but, except for limited special editions, there is no possibility of acquiring one with the team's colors.

2. Pinarello Dogma F - 15,300 euros

The distributor in Spain of Pinarello does not offer a replica bike of the one used by INEOS Grenadiers, although it is available internationally, even with the design of the British squad. A brand and a mythical bike for decades, always linked to great champions and associated with an aura of exclusivity surrounding the Italian firm.

The INEOS Grenadiers bike relies, as always since its foundation in 2010, on Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 for the transmission. A group that extends to the wheels, also Shimano Dura-Ace.

1. Colnago V4Rs - 15,860 euros

Also an Italian and also a mythical brand in the top of the most expensive bikes in the peloton. It could not be other than Colnago, which is regularly used by Tadej Pogacar and will probably soon be surpassed by its aerodynamic sister Y1Rs when it goes on sale.

Tadej Pogacar's bike has various customizations that are not available in the standard assembly, although the differences are minimal. Starting with the decoration in the colors of the UAE Team Emirates-XRG team, accompanied by a setup with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 and the spectacular ENVE SES wheels. It's a shame that the options available do not include the legs of a genius like the Slovenian cyclist.
