QUIZ TIME!!! Do modern road bikes all look the same? We remove the logos from 10 Tour de France bikes and put it to the test! Play along at home and let us know how you get on! cycling TourdeFrance
Scott updated its Foil last year, and the serious weight savings now mean that it's the current weapon of choice for Team DSM on the majority of stages. Remove the logos and there are plenty of similarities in tube shapes between this and the Cervelo S5.Canyon is still one of the brands offering team riders the choice of two bikes, the Ultimate CFR or the Aeroad CFR. Both Movistar and Alpecin Deceuninck are on Canyon bikes.
Given the current UCI regulations, it’s unsurprising that bikes are looking so similar, and it's probably going to be some time before we see anything that isn’t a double triangle frame design at the Tour de France, if it happens at all. When UCI rules don’t matter, such as in the world of triathlon, things do indeed deviate. Normally in the name of aerodynamics - just take this Cadex tri bike for example.
Obviously, even double triangle frame designs can vary hugely, a pure aero bike vs a climbing bike for example. However, riders just like you, me and the pros now want aero and low weight more than ever. At the moment, that's only possible with kamm tail tube profiles that satisfy the UCI depth-to-thickness ratios, hence why so many look the same.
