Awhile ago I saw somewhere that specialized was testing a bike either named, or code named, the "Vaunt" as a replacement for the Venge.

Madone looks like the most obvious one to me from the big guns.
Cervelo S5 maybe (although I still think it looks modern).
SystemSix would definitely be another one. Don't see them go SL7 with it, as that's what the SuperSix already is, right?
I'd love to see something mega aero. We have now had all the lightness.

I am just hoping for a new Cervelo s5!!!
I dont think so. The aethos in the UCI list has one framesize less listed than the vaunt which dissapeared from the list. I think if the "vaunt" was just a different name for the Aethos there should have been at least the same number of frame sizes listed

Keep the SL6. Its as good, and arguably better than the SL7 (becuase its more comfortable). SL6 is basically one of the best rim brake frames ever made so... an 'upgrade' basically doesnt exist at thie point in time. There are other frames that are close or more or less as good (in the alrounder category). But its not worth the ridiculous price tag of an SL7 for the sideways movement.chiltonp wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 2:55 pmI'm currently riding an S-wroks SL6 (rim brake) and i'm looking to upgrade to an SL7 or Addcit RC. Do we expect a new SL8, Addict RC, and Canyon Ultimate this year, (among others). Would it be wise to wait until new models start to appear or given all the supply chain issues do you expect delays in new models?
I regret selling my SL6

Yeah, SL7 doesn't out-shadow SL6 in every ways.zappafile123 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 10:47 amKeep the SL6. Its as good, and arguably better than the SL7 (becuase its more comfortable).

Overall it is faster though it is heavier and less comfy.
So, it's an upgrade for those seek speed and look of more aero bike with cable integration. But a downgrade for total weight-weenies or anyone who seek the most comfort from an all round bike.
That said, I think frame compliance isn't just comfort. When I experiment a stiff aero frame vs Cannondale Supersix (another all round bike). What I notice the most from their handling is how Supersix somehow remain more stable on rough terrain cornering. Like, on a smooth gravel road that is still ridable on road bike tires, Supersix jumps and skips less on bumps. It help me push harder with confidence. Not sure if it's totally just the feeling but I'd reduce more speed before cornering on stiff aero bike.
I like aero bikes, but those thick deep fork doesn't track ground as well as a flexier one IMO. Maybe huge tires on aero bike can nullify that at cost of even more weight? I don't know.
That's possible. But wouldn't it be easier to release that prototype TT bike used by EF team with road kit? It looks like a more aero SystemSix.
Sell it with TT kit (forward seatpost, TT bar etc.) as SystemSix TT
and road kit (setback seatpost, road bar and possibly different fork) as SystemSix road. Similar to BMC Timemachine road.

edit; rumoured to be a plastic model done for a cycling show.

In other news it appears the Soloist is making a return.
