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.
• 2024 model year.
