They simply went all out: Carbon chassis, Rock Shox RS1 fork, Magura MT8 brakes, DT Swiss CSW MA wheels - what more could you want? There are also little extras such as a carbon seatpost and Tune Würger quick-release skewers as a little "amuse-gueule" on top. All in all, it all makes an extremely appetising impression. But it's not quite that simple. Extra praise for the geometry - verdict of the test riders: "It just fits." The downside: the tyres are undersized. Guys, the Porsche doesn't drive on narrow tyres!
ConclusionThe only thing that could put you off buying the 17-kilo cube is the price. A few euros for grippier tyres won't make the difference.
