Where it stands

The compromises

• Mixed groupset: not every component is Shimano Deore.
• 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.
• No power meter, which many bikes at this price include.
• 2021 model year.
