Bike of the Year 2016 The Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 6.0 is a bike that ticks all the boxes you should be looking for when looking for a new bike. It's stiff, it's light, it looks great, represents great value, and is aerodynamic too. In fact, with this last point in mind, we also crowned the Aeroad the best aero road bike of 2016.

This is a bike that looks fast and rides even faster. The slender aerofoil tube shapes and curved seat tube cutout are matched by a seriously stiff bottom bracket that will be more than a match for even the most powerful of riders. And what's more this is not just a bike for drilling it along on the flat, also thriving uphill thanks to its relatively svelte 7.43kg weight. Just as impressive is the comfort on offer – not usually a strong point of aero bikes.

Bike of the Year 2016 Our pick of the best disc brake road bike of the year is the Focus Izalco Max Disc. If you're not convinced that disc brakes belong on road bikes, then the Focus Izalco Max Disc is the bike most likely to change your mind. It really does thrive on all terrains, and with a total weight of only just over 7.5kg there's not much of a penalty associated with fitting the Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.

That weight means that this bike simply glides up hills, but the great thing is that it excels in other areas too. Handling is well-balanced, and descending fun and secure in all conditions thanks to those disc brakes. It's also lovely and comfortable too, with an innovative seatpost design that takes the worse out of any road buzz.
