Love mine, done almost 3000 miles on it. Only negative I’d say is the weight. It’s advertised as easily 6.8kg which unfortunately is bollox. Mine is just under 7.5kg with Red drivetrain and Force shifters/derailleurs. New full red would only be 200g less.
Great review. My m8 swears by them and has two. I'm building your review bike from a month ago, and unless I'm picking you up wrong, it's the better bike 😉
Yes! You have picked up on it nicely. I really loved this bike and would be in love it I had spent my own money on it. But there is one I would rather put my own money on as you have picked up.
I found the same thing when I tested the Ostro a few months back. It's fast, and doesn't take a lot of effort to hold it at 18 - 22mph, but, if something causes you a drop in speed, you fall out of the operating window and you then need to put some effort in to get back up to the previous speed.
It’s very very close. Definitely the closest bike to the sl8 which is no small compliment. I think it’s a little less comfortable and I personally prefer the way the sl8 handles a bit more but that one is just personal preference. Safe to say I would put my own money down on it
Feel free to message me on instagram and I can send it over privately. (@jasons_cyclingunboxed) I have had to stop to keep brands on my side otherwise I will never get to ride anything else in the future
When you say “some bikes feel like this or that “ it be super helpful if you named the bikes . Just leave that line out cause it’s not helpful to us . Thanks
Still trying to get the language right with this one. In previous videos I have made direct comparisons but because of this, it has meant some brands don’t want to work with me anymore. I will get better over time though. That’s why I haven’t mentioned specific brands
I wouldn’t buy a factor. Here in the USA the company comes and goes and cyclist re not happy. Personally having a company / customer service that comes across with lots of inconsistencies I try away. Besides after riding 15 years on pinarello I don’t see why change to other brands.
Well done. I appreciated your perspectives on the bike
I liked your review points. Love the color. It is very cool to buy

Mullet setup- I like that. Never heard someone call it that name aha
9:03 I need to use this angle on the next video 😂

How is it vs the tarmac?

what size is this one?
This one is a 58
@@cyclingunboxed , how tall are you ?
Doesn't make sense to spend over 10k on an Ultegra specced bike when there are alternatives for 4k or 5k less in the market.
And finaly score????😅

I get that. If anything goes wrong you will need the support there.
Thankfully in the uk they have a nice stable base.
