Test 2015 women's road bikes: Rose Xeon X-Lite CRS 3100 Di2 - Rose Xeon X-Lite CRS 3100 Di2 on test

In addition, there are size-appropriate adaptations for which complete bikes often have to be specially converted, for example 165-millimetre cranks and narrow handlebars. The testers were impressed by the agile riding behaviour. The saddle and handlebar contact points were also praised. The electronic gears caused no problems. The only criticism was that the shift buttons could not be hit straight away when wearing gloves. The buzzing noise of the R-Sys rims when braking was somewhat irritating. However, we know from experience that this subsides after a few descents. Now that the rims have been revised several times in recent years, there is nothing wrong with the braking behaviour.

CONCLUSION
Manuela: Lightweight, very good power transmission. The Di2 drivetrain is a dream.
Isabel: The most agile bike in the test. Super acceleration, very safe downhill.
