A well-rounded machine that looks good and is a pleasure to ride. Buy if you want a disc road bike that puts cheap carbon to shame

  • Ride quality

  • Looks

  • Practical design features

Lows

  • Overly soft saddle

  • No hydraulics (yet)

Full Shimano Ultegra groupset makes this alloy-framed model from Vitus stand out

Highs
  • Full Shimano Ultegra 11-speed groupset including chainset

  • Good wheel and tyre package

  • Balanced ride quality

Lows
  • Frame looks a bit too drab, but that's being picky
