That Aethos looks very very tempting.

I thought this groupset was for the lower mid range bikes? £4k upwards isn't what I hoped to see, but sort of expected it.

I think the Orbea M31e will be at a more realistic price, also if/when Canyon release an Ultimate CF SL7 eTap this should be around £3,300 (they've already got the Force eTap version at £3,900) which is more the sort of price I was expecting. Not suprised by the prices of the Trek/Specialized bikes, though they do have carbon wheels.

I agree, last year's scott addict rc20 was around 4k with Force AXS, this looks like it will give an opportunity for manufacturers to push up the price on Force AXS bikes. I don't think the groupset price is particularly appealing either, would have thought it would be nearer a grand, especially as they've just launched the GX AXS upgrade kit for less than 600 quid (admittedly it has less components).
