Test 2016 - Women's road bikes: Specialized Amira SL 4 Pro Race - Specialized Amira SL 4 Pro Race on test

The riding position is sporty, but not extreme; the steering is comparatively manoeuvrable and with the lightweight carbon rims, the bike also reacts quickly when setting off. However, the test bike is not the end of the line: this is the second most expensive of the six equipment variants.

PLUS Very light and well equipped, lively thanks to very light wheels and fast tyres, comfortable on saddle and handlebars despite sporty design

MINUS expensive, moderate braking behaviour in the rain

Conclusion Annina: You can tell that it's built for racing. But it's still not uncomfortable. I like the aggressive look.

Conclusion Manuela: Very agile and accelerates superbly, as if on rails at high speeds. But too sporty for me.

Rating in the TOUR test lab: overall grade 1.7
