THINGS WE LIKE

✔ Excellent frame stiffness to weight ratio; climbs beautifully.

✔ Ability to run wider tyres (32 mm) gives comfort on varied roads.

✔ Full size range and customisable geometry ensures many riders can find the right fit.

THINGS WE DON'T LIKE

✖ Wheels are heavier alloy; as stock they don’t offer the responsiveness of lighter carbon rims.

✖ Saddle firmness may not suit everyone for ultra-long rides.

✖ Potential component cost for upgrades (tyres, wheels) adds up.
