The new affordable carbon model from the Hessian luxury brand has a harmonious appearance. Huge diameters, particularly on the head tube and down tube, drive the stiffness values to record-breaking levels. The finish of the frame is no worse than that of Storck's top models. Despite the relatively simple equipment with a complete 105 groupset and Aksium wheels, the bike looks high-quality and elegant. The fact that it is very comfortable to ride is not least due to the well-chosen components. The ovalised aluminium handlebars are comfortable to grip and the Prologo saddle is comfortable if you like the narrow shape. A carbon seatpost noticeably reduces vibrations. Due to the very short head tube, the riding position is radically race-like.
