Where it stands
Priced close to what German shops charge for this level of equipment, so it does not clear the margin we require before naming a pick.

- KTM X-Myroon Pro 2026 at BIKE24€1,199EUR 800 cheaper, GRX instead of Apex, basic aluminium rather than unidentified wheels, carbon rather than aluminium frame, 12.9 kg vs 11 kg.
