Even though the Kimera frame has been in the programme for several years, it still looks modern and unique. The extremely short head tube gives the bike a very race-like riding position. Thanks to the high stiffness values, which are mainly the result of the high material usage, the bike is a recommendation for sprinters. Thanks to the low-set seat stays, the bike provides noticeable suspension comfort on the saddle despite the oversized seat post. An original detail is the gear cables routed through the side of the head tube. The equipment is solid. The complete Ultegra is complemented by add-on parts with the Koga label, among which the comfortable saddle stands out. The thin top bar, on the other hand, is no longer up to date and feels uncomfortable to grip. The front rim attracted attention due to an unclean bump that caused heavy brake rubbing.
