Reviews & Ratings
The reviewer presents the ALVAS DA54 as a new aero road bike they have recently acquired. They describe it as a performance bike for those on a budget, costing approximately $5,200 AUD. The bike features a T700 and T800 carbon fiber frame, an aero design with a chunky fork and bottom bracket area, and comes with a full Shimano Ultegra 12-speed Di2 groupset, 60mm carbon wheels (Helux brand), and a comfortable stock saddle. In stock form, the bike weighed 8.4 kg with pedals. The reviewer made several modifications (wheels, saddle, cassette, bar tape) to reduce the weight to 7.77 kg. They praise the bike's handling, stability at high speed, sharp steering, and comfortable geometry. They are impressed with the value, particularly the inclusion of Ultegra Di2 and carbon wheels at the price point.
