Nominally, the Amira Elite - which is actually a women's model but can also be ridden by men without any problems - is the weakest in the test comparison. However, "weak" is relative here. Because if you take a closer look, you will find interesting details that may outweigh the fact that "only" a 105 groupset from Shimano is installed, while the competition offers the next higher Ultegra or the lightweight SRAM Force. 165 mm cranks should suit most people who choose this frame size. The angle-adjustable stem allows very fine adjustment of the handlebars. In general, the contact points are good arguments that contribute to the positive assessment of the testers. In addition to the test size 48, the bike is also available in size 44.
