The compromises

• Mixed groupset: not every component is Shimano XT.
• Mechanical shifting, at a price where electronic groupsets are common.
• Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
• Aluminium frame, at a price where carbon is common.
• No power meter, which many bikes at this price include.

Your size

What BikeExchange lists, and what it has today

This brand publishes no centimetre equivalence we can verify, so the bike appears only when you pick a letter size.

Where to buy

BikeExchange is the only one of the 22 shops we check that sells this bike.

Price so far

• BikeExchange states an RRP of €5,499 (11% off). That is the shop's claim; we rank on today's price, never on the discount.
