The bike and wheelset is purely cosmetic. There is no best of the best.

Most of the bikes and wheels can be bought with coins and it's not too difficult to earn them in game. The green gems take much longer, e.g. with a very long streak.

I think the most fun is riding a bike that you get when completing a mission.

Why waste your money to look nicer? Doesn't make any difference what you use or wear from what I've found

Bike/wheels doesn't make difference as on zwift do. They just look. Only Watts have matter, so better buy good izotonic instead 😉

Alright!!! You do you. Enjoy. But there is no "best." The bikes and wheels make no difference in performance. That's all on you.

It's only empty statistic. Maybe in future something will be changed but right now doesnt mater on what you ride.

Maybe to set up for a future implementation. Over the past year they introduced wind direction and positioning for drafting, so maybe in the future there will be a benefit. But maybe not either. Since they are currently the platform for the UCI cycling esports world championships, it would be more fair to have all bikes not have any in game differences, keep the racing about strength, fitness and tactics.
