    This bike is amazing, just finished mine a couple weeks ago, super fast

    Thanks for posting! I ordered the Hero version when the pound bottomed out against the dollar. Just couldn't resist. Nice to know in advance about the turning radius, but tbh, that's not something I prioritize much on a bike ;-)
  • Try a 52/34 front chainset. I converted my 52/36 Shimano to 52/34 and it's the best of both worlds imo.

    There have been lots of 1st looks at this bike, but since it has been a bit quiet on the review front. A friend of a mate tried one - think it may have been the SL version & ended up going with their climbing bike to better fit his needs as the SL was a bit heavy.
  • I’m glad I found this video, I’m in love with this bike but that turning radius been horrible will probably deter me from buying one. It is aero but weights more than a M1 Abrams 😢

    This bike looks incredible! It's a shame many cyclist in US are used to see only Pinarello, Treks, Cannondale and Specialized... the rest of the brands for them is just unknown or dont worth the money. I have my 3T Exploro and they didn't realized that they have parts from this brand on their bikes.

    2022 Tour bikes are heavier than they have been for years because of deep section aero tubing and wheels (plus disc brakes). Aero trumps weight every where except climbing mountains. Search for how much do Tour de France bikes weigh.
  • nice! did it come with a side of really unappealing beans and bread?
  • Thank you for the review I have been looking at this bike for awhile now. my main concern is the level wheels. I have been looking everywhere for reviews on the level wheels and can't decide if I want to go with those or the enve65. Do you like the wheels?
  • @richardgreen3439
    Thanks for the quick walkaround of the bike. I have a question about the handlebars. They look amazing, and I am a sucker for technology that offers fractional gains that I don't really need 😆 But can you ride on the tops comfortably, e.g. if you are climbing? They are angled forward towards the hoods - if you rest your hands on them in a natural position, doesn't that splay your elbows outwards? I would have thought if the bars were going to be angled, they should be angled the other way.

    Nice video man, any chance for a hub sound video on those wheels?
  • What do you think is the widest tire you can fit on the rear wheel---specifically where the tire fits into the bottom bracket area? I'm hoping I can fit a 35mm tire down there.
  • Does anyone have any recommendations for aero clip on tt bars. The optional extra clip on bars are oval shaped and they are very small.
  • Hi Adam and thanks for this quick review ! is the import fee not included in the price that they advertise ? I am in the US and on the market for a new bike so was just checking around and found ribble bikes much more affordable than the rest of the bike manufacturer. Thanks for your answer !
  • @LightCast23
    Have you noticed any problems with brake alignment from painting over the mounting holes? I saw this elsewhere online only once and thought it may have been super rare. I am new to the brand, thanks.
  • @ShaneKloepfer
    It looks like the bars really flair forward. If I usually use a 120 stem would an 80mm be closer to a 120 since the hoods go forward? I don’t want to order too long of a stem
