October 3, 2024

With almost all the new models released, here's a comprehensive list of what I consider to be the best value models for 2025!

When it comes to bicycles (especially sports bikes), cost performance isn't everything. It's best to choose a bike that suits your lifestyle and riding style. However, I'll be introducing models that I believe will be the most popular in 2025 (limited to beginner models)!

【Recommended points】
Even amidst rising prices and sluggish cross bike demand, the BRIDGESTONE ANCHOR daily cross bike "RL1 (Hydraulic)" remains so popular that it frequently sells out. It offers excellent value, as it comes standard with a lock, light, and kickstand, plus a 3-year theft warranty, along with various other necessary accessories. The high recognition of the Japanese brand "BRIDGESTONE" also provides peace of mind to users. This popular cross bike's 2025 model has been adjusted to an even more affordable price, making its continued popularity a certainty!

Road Bike (Rim Brake): Bianchi VIA NIRONE 7 SORA

A must-see for anyone considering their first Bianchi road bike! The "VIA NIRONE 7 SORA," an entry-level road bike from the prestigious Italian brand Bianchi, has emerged with top-class cost performance! This price is incredible for a road bike equipped with Shimano SORA grade road components!

While 2025 Tiagra-equipped disc road bikes are considered good value around ¥200,000, RIDLEY has unexpectedly released a model with top-class cost performance. It's sure to sell out. If it's your first disc road bike, you absolutely must choose this one!!

【Recommended points】
Following disc road bikes, RIDLEY is also recommended for gravel road bikes!! This aluminum gravel road bike features a frame design that is highly compatible with Japanese terrain and is equipped with Shimano GRX400 as standard. It has appeared with a price reduction of approximately 100,000 yen from the previous model! This pricing is practically insane...

Summary of the Best Value Models

Cross Bike: BRIDGESTONE ANCHOR RL1 (Hydraulic)
Rim Brake Road Bike: Bianchi VIA NIRONE 7 SORA
Disc Road Bike: RIDLEY Fenix SLA DISC
Gravel Road Bike: RIDLEY Kanzo A

I just had to say it, so I've put together a list of models that I personally thought were "cheap!" among those currently announced!!

As I mentioned at the beginning, choosing a bicycle isn't all about "price:specs"! It's best to choose one that matches your riding style!

But still, a good deal is nice, isn't it? As a Kansai person, it makes me drool a little💦

It's likely that the RL1 (Hydraulic) cross bike, being a regular lineup model, won't be difficult to get your hands on. However, I believe the other models won't have additional production runs. Therefore, it's best to consider them sooner rather than later!
