Thrillingly fast and well-equipped aero road bike with an efficient ride. Great value too. Buy if you want a lively, dynamic ride and one of the lightest bikes available for the price
Light weight, good wheels, great Campagnolo groupset and tyres, a fast, super-dynamic ride
Online purchase only and a ride that some may find overly firm
