but there’s a genuine pay-off in speed and, at 52mm, they’re rideable in all but the most gusty conditions. Thealloy rim delivers great braking, too. The Deda cockpit is very stiff when sprinting, but firm, very skinny and wrapped in thin, slippy tape. It’s more a personal preference than a criticism, but worth thinking about. Saddle choice is personal, too, but the Prologo Zero is a quality item. The Scalera is an out-and-out race bike and makes no apologies for feeling firm and focused. The front end is tight so it steers accurately and
there’s decent power transfer stiffness for a semiaero design. This is a bike made for fast rides and races rather than all-day epics.
