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.

The compromises

• Mixed groupset: not every component is Shimano XT.
• Mechanical shifting, at a price where electronic groupsets are common.
• Aluminium frame, at a price where carbon is common.
• No power meter, which many bikes at this price include.
• 2023 model year.
