Down-country bullet: Last Celos on test
Design, high-quality workmanship and of course the extraordinary weight make the Last Celos an absolute dream bike. We tested the super-light down-country bike.

Even without any tricks with the tyres, the Last Celos a record for overall weight. The exquisite, but also ultra-expensive equipment and the 1961 gram frame make it possible. A ready-to-ride weight of 10.66 kilos, with the potent studded tyre at the front, gives the Celos wings in every situation.

Thanks to its low weight, the down-country bullet hangs excellently on the throttle and can be steered with little physical effort despite the long wheelbase. With its short chainstays, the Celos is very responsive on the rear wheel, but still offers a lot of security in fast passages and always runs smoothly enough.

You can download the test results of the Last Celo from BIKE 6/2022 as a PDF below the article.

The test report costs 0.99 euros. Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in BIKE. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them, tens of thousands of euros every year.

  Just like the wheels, the handlebar/stem unit from Bike Ahead (The Unit) blends in perfectly with the look of the frame and helps to keep the weight down. The stem clamp is integrated into the stem.Photo: Robert Niedring Just like the wheels, the handlebar/stem unit from Bike Ahead (The Unit) blends in perfectly with the look of the frame and helps to keep the weight down.

These also reduce the background noise on the descent.Photo: Robert Niedring Wherever the chain could leave marks on the carbon by hitting it, there are glued-on rubber protectors with discs.
