After all, the TRP Spyre is the best choice among the mechanical systems. You can also see from other details that the developers have put a lot of thought into creating a visually appealing road bike that is suitable for long distances: The characteristic frame offers a relaxed, almost upright riding position and, with the special seat post, conveys an extremely high level of suspension comfort. Details such as the internal cables and the seat post clamp are well thought out and beautifully designed. The high overall weight is partly due to the high-profile aluminium rims, which give the bike a striking appearance.
CONCLUSION Comfortably tuned disc brake racer with great attention to detail. Relatively heavy, but well equipped
