Storck Aero 2, $9,500 If you’ve got the cash to buy Shimano’s Di2 electronic shifters, then you probably don’t shutter at the Aero 2’s price tag, which is good because this bike is Di2 compatible only. The Aero 2 also features an adjustable seat tube angle of between 73 and 80 degrees, giving you the customized aggressive position that suits you best. Storckbicycle.com
Cannondale Slice Ultimate with SRM Power Meter, $13,300 At last we arrive at the top of the tri-bike food chain. Money clearly wasn’t a concern for Cannondale when creating this monster. Simply put, Cannondale designed one of the most aero frames ever built, added the fastest wheelset possible (Zipp 808 front and 1080 rear) and components possible and then tossed in the most accurate (and expensive) power meter on the market. If this bike doesn’t make you enjoy riding, then nothing will. Cannondale.com
