Specialized Venge £5,850-£10,250
The all-new Venge is said to be lighter, faster and better handling than the previous version — of course. It’s available only with disc brakes and electronic gears, so there’s no such thing as a budget Venge.

Ridley Noah Fast — £3,650-£7,198
Ridley’s top-level aero road bike features an integrated fork and seat clamp and F-Wings behind the fork dropouts that are designed to reduce turbulence and therefore minimise drag.
Argon 18 Nitrogen Disc — £3,999-£4,899
Canada’s Argon 18 introduced the Nitrogen in 2014 but the Nitrogen Disc is brand new. The disc model is said to offer greater torsional rigidity as well as plenty of ergonomic adjustability and clearance for tyres up to 30mm wide.

Wilier Cento10Pro — £3,299.99-£4,899.99
The new Cento10Pro is an evolution of the existing Cento10Air but with disc brake options as well as rim brakes and a 6% increase in torsional stiffness, according to Wilier. The frame and fork profiles are based to NACA airfoil shapes with truncated tails allowing Wilier to save weight and increase stiffness.

Look 795 Blade RS — from £2,900
Look says that its new aero bike, available in both rim brake and disc brake versions, offers a 5% aerodynamic advantage over its predecessor. Look also claims the fork, rear triangle and head tube have been made stiffer, and the new bridge-less ‘Smooth Sword’ seatstays are designed to bend slightly under compression, allowing the rear wheel to maintain consistent contact with the road.

Orbea Orca Aero Disc — £2,299-£7,499
The Orca Aero Disc features a huge down tube with a double radius profile and flattened sides that Orbea says improves airflow at higher yaw angles, and there’s a wide gap between the fork legs that’s said to reduce airflow pressure.

Lapierre Aircode SL — £2,199-£6,199
The Aircode SL, available only with rim brakes, has taken many of its design cues from Lapierre’s Aerostorm time trial bike, using both NACA and Kamm Tail tube profiles to reduce drag. Lapierre has reduced the frontal area by integrating the fork crown into the down tube.

Kuota Kryon Race Evo (frameset) — from £1,835.00
Italy’s Kuota offers the Kryon in both rim brake and disc brake models. You get a “vibe damper system” incorporated into the seatpost area to smooth the ride; two separate dampers can be specced, depending on your weight.
Tifosi Auriga — £1,899.99-£2,099.99
On the latest version of its Auriga aero road bike, Tifosi has moved the rear brake from behind the bottom bracket to the seatstays in order to avoid mud and water and maximise power. Whereas the rim brake model will accept tyres up to 25mm, the disc brake version can take 28s.
