T1600 is the latest and most advanced aero bike from Winspace. In this video, I share my experience with the build and my riding experience. I also compare it to Winspace Agile and SLC5 to help you decide which one to buy.
Despite @WinspaceBikes supplying the frame, wheels, and handlebars (thanks a lot for the support!), this review took me approximately 20 hours of work and $2500 (groupset and other parts). I'm also not holding back on the issues I encountered. Watch the video for more details.

FrameWinspace T1600
Created: June 05, 2025The reviewer provides a comprehensive review of the Winspace T1600, which is the latest aero frame from Winspace. They built the bike themselves and tested it over 1,000 kilometers. The reviewer states the T1600 is a stiff, fast, and surprisingly comfortable racing frame that feels racier and more aggressive than the Agile or SLC 5. It excels at high speeds (above 35-40 km/h), feels planted and stable in crosswinds and during descents, and is described as an 'absolute joy to ride.' The frame features a striking paint job and signature D-type intakes on the rear, which are said to contribute to lateral stiffness. However, the reviewer encountered several quality control issues during the build process, including a faulty seat post clamp, difficulty routing internal cables, and a problematic bike computer mount. They conclude that while the frame performs excellently, these initial issues should not occur at its price point.
