The Nexio is one of the winners of this test because, of the previously tested aero models, it benefits the most from the new test procedure with a new dummy and fast Zipp 404 wheels. However, the frame also owes its good aero performance to the tear-off edges on all tubes in the wind, so-called comb tails. Three bottle cage threads on the down tube allow two different cage positions. In the carbon frame range of the Vorarlberg manufacturer, the Nexio represents the pithy racing machine. With high stiffness values, noticeable hardness on the saddle and an almost extreme racing geometry, the bike is made for spontaneous acceleration, solo escapes and sprints.
