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 SLX.
• 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.
