For this reason, they are purchasable by all cyclists who want the top of the line to ride at a certainly expensive price. For example:

• The Arkea-B&B Hotels team will ride the Bianchi Oltre RC for €13,499
• The Lidl-Trek team will ride the Trek Madone which in the SLR 9 Gen 8 version costs €13,499

The prices are high, but justified by the enormous research and development work of the various teams that work to create bikes purchasable by everyone, even by Cicli Mattio, but definitely Formula One bikes!
