Merlin Roc Disc Ultegra review

Oct 2019 · Simon Withers

Great price for a very good all-round road bike for day-to-day commuting or bigger adventures

Highs
  • Great all-round ride, superb kit and very good value

Lows
  • The oversized seatpost and quick-release levers look a little old-school these days
