Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
Carbon construction changes the inspection emphasis from metal-style dents and corrosion to impact damage, ripples and overtightened clamp areas. The press-fit bottom bracket is a three-part compatibility check involving shell diameter, shell width and crank-spindle standard. The $1,975.00 original MSRP records the bike’s launch positioning, not its present condition or current market value.
Frame material
Carbon / composite
Look for impact damage and clamp marks rather than metal-style dents or rust.
Bottom bracket
Press-fit interface
Shell diameter, width and crank-spindle standard all matter before replacement.

Used-bike inspection
If you’re buying this bike used
Before any test ride: both brakes should stop the bike firmly and release cleanly; both wheels should run true and be securely attached; tires should have no casing damage; and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals should have no looseness or play.
Follow the full used-bike inspection order →- FrameInspect the frame in bright light, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, chainstays and clamped areas. Look for cracks, ripples, crushed sections or signs of a previous impact.Inspect the frame and fork →
- BrakesTest each brake separately and confirm it stops firmly and releases cleanly. Inspect the pads and braking surfaces for wear or contamination, and check the cables or hoses for damage.Inspect the brakes →
- DrivetrainShift through the full range under light load, measure chain wear and inspect the cassette or freewheel teeth. Skipping or hesitation can indicate wear, poor adjustment or mismatched parts.Check drivetrain wear →
- Wheels & tiresSpin both wheels and watch the rims for side-to-side or vertical movement. Check for dents, cracks, loose or uneven spokes and hub play, then inspect both tire casings for cuts, cracking or exposed threads.Check wheels and tires →
- Bottom bracketTurn the cranks slowly, feel for rough bearings and check for side-to-side play. Creaking under load deserves investigation but does not identify the source by itself.Inspect the bottom bracket and shell →
