Update for aluminium road bike: Standert circular saw gets a new look

After the Gravel works for the gravel track the Kreissäge is the second new product from the German manufacturer within a few weeks. According to the Berlin-based company, the new road bike is intended to complement its race-orientated sister model, the Kreissäge RS. However, the Kreissäge also puts the rider in an emphatically stretched riding position, as is typical for classic competition bikes. For frame size 56, Standert quotes an STR quotient of 1.43.

Standert circular saw: The most important facts

• Weight of complete wheel: from 8.2 kilogrammes (size 54)
• Frame/fork weight: 1562/360 grams (size 54)
• Stack/Reach/STR: 560/391 millimetres/1.43

The most important new features include fully integrated cable routing and greater tyre clearance compared to its predecessor. A maximum of 35 millimetre wide tyres can now fit through the frame and fork. The old model, which is still listed in the online shop, is limited to 30-millimetre tyres. Ex works, the new Kreissäge rolls on 30-millimetre tubeless tyres from Pirelli. Other new features include a one-piece carbon cockpit from our own Lucky Cat brand, a wider bottom bracket shell (T47) and the UDH standard rear derailleur mount.

As is typical for the Standert brand, the frame is based on aluminium. Like the majority of the industry, the hip brand from the capital uses a 6061 alloy. A size 54 frame, including seat clamp and UDH derailleur hanger, should weigh a little less than 1600 grams. According to the manufacturer, the carbon fork weighs 360 grams. Depending on the equipment variant, Standert quotes complete bike weights of 8.2 or 8.8 kilograms.
