The Supersix frame used to be the US brand's top model, but has since slipped down the product range. The fact that the design is no longer completely new is evident from the external gear cables and the oversized seatpost, which is largely responsible for the moderate comfort value on the saddle. In keeping with the price range, simpler carbon fibres are used than on the more expensive models, making the frame quite heavy, but also extremely stable. The riding position is decidedly sporty and the comfort is better than the measured value suggests thanks to the comfortable saddle. The equipment is appropriate for the price class and has no weaknesses, apart from the relatively simple wheels with hard-rolling tyres. The compact handlebar sits comfortably in the hands, but is wide, which will not suit everyone's taste.
