Light and shade are close together on the women's model from Raubling. High-quality wheels and tyres are a big plus point, and an eleven-speed Ultegra also stands out positively in this price range. However, the Rotor cranks do not harmonise perfectly with the gearing. The front derailleur could not be adjusted properly, the chain acknowledged large skew with running noises; the chain also grinds on the large chainring on the four smallest sprockets. The choice of components was also somewhat unfortunate. The very soft saddle left our tester with an indirect riding sensation and was uncomfortable in the long run despite being the right width. The handlebars are extremely narrow, even for small hands. The brakes with Jagwire cables require high operating forces. Visually, the bike is lovingly designed, and the emphatically race-orientated geometry really appealed to our tester.
