The reviewer praises the Winspace M6 as an aero bike designed for endurance and comfort, noting it delivers both speed and a comfortable ride. He highlights the higher head tube, shorter reach, and 32mm tire clearance for a smooth, non-harsh ride. He compares it favorably to a Giant Defy and finds it more responsive. He also notes the bike's carbon layup (T700, T800, M40, M60) and attractive paintwork. He emphasizes the value proposition: the bike with Shimano 105 Di2, carbon wheels, and bars costs £2,995, which is significantly less than comparable models from Canyon (£3,700) and Specialized (£3,500+). He appreciates that Woods Cycles stocks the bike for test rides, reducing the risk of online ordering.
AI Summary
Pros
- Combines aero speed with endurance comfort
- Higher head tube and shorter reach for a less aggressive position
- Smooth and responsive ride, not harsh
more pros in the video
Cons
- Sizing can be confusing (size large felt like medium; recommends test ride or geometry check)
- Not a carbon expert, so cannot verify carbon layup claims
Key Points
- Aero bike aimed at endurance and comfort
- Carbon layup: T700, T800, M40, M60
- Comes with 50mm deep Unas carbon wheels and Hype integrated handlebars
