The compromises

• 8-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most road bikes.
• Basic aluminium wheels.
• 10.2 kg, on the heavy side for a road bike; the ranking's reference weight is 8.9 kg.
• 2021 model year.

Your size

What BikeExchange lists, and what it has today

This brand publishes no centimetre equivalence we can verify, so the bike appears only when you pick a letter size.

Where to buy

Other shops list what looks like this bike, but we cannot confirm it is the same build, because the model year or drivetrain is not settled, so we do not compare their prices.
