The high-quality Aerolight is characterised by flowing shapes, while the solid carbon stem visually extends the top tube. The cranks rotate in an extra-wide BB386 housing. V-brakes are integrated positively into the rear triangle and fork. In the wind tunnel, the combination with the 808 front wheel and Super 9 disc proved to be the fastest choice; however, the 12 watt gap to Cervélo is already clear. Riding enjoyment suffered from the high standover height - the test bike was smaller than ordered and offered no real adjustment options on the handlebars. Nevertheless, the frame is available in four sizes. Riding stability was at the lower end of the test. Nevertheless, you don't have to worry too much about bumps in the suspension, even on winding descents. However, more wheelbase would benefit the directional stability.

The grades are calculated up to the final grade with all decimal places; however, for the sake of clarity, all grades are given with rounded decimal places.
** Tested frame size greased.
