This year’s Paris-Roubaix was an edition to remember. In the women’s race, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot made history with a stellar debut victory, while the men’s race saw a head-to-head between two of the sport's most formidable talents, Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogačar.

Except there's another surprise with this long-anticipated launch, and that's the price. At 10k, it's no longer the cheapest bike in the pro-tour peloton, with pricing now on a par with direct-to-consumer brand, Canyon.
