Müsing's modular programme gives the customer many options. Dura-Ace, Ultegra or 105? Everything is possible. Colour preferences are also catered for. The main arguments in favour of the black anodised finish on the test bike were its durability and weight savings compared to a painted finish. The neatly finished frame features a press-fit bottom bracket and internally routed cables. The fact that the fork is not the most laterally stiff can be safely ignored in view of the high head tube stiffness. What makes the bike such a convincing proposition is its equipment. The class-standard Ultegra is joined by aero wheels from Citec, high-quality add-on parts and top tyres. Nevertheless, the price remains reasonable. The riding impression is convincing, the manoeuvrable bike moves smoothly along its course; there are no disturbing features to be found.
