The high use of materials on the aluminium frame of the "RRA10.1D" has a positive effect with high riding stability and full power transmission. As there is a slim seat post in the seat tube, the construction also offers noticeable suspension comfort on the saddle. Unfortunately, the workmanship is somewhat uninspired with rough weld seams, and in the case of the slightly asymmetrical fork crown, it even looks careless. The short head tube restricts the handlebar positioning options, but the model is also available in a more comfortable geometry. The equipment with "105" shifting technology, FSA components and simple Shimano wheels is fine considering the favourable price. Nevertheless, the spark doesn't really jump over. In addition to the weight of 9.5 kilos, which is out of date even in this price range, the poor rolling clincher tyres also contribute to this.
