Planet X Pro Carbon Evo Sram

remanning

Hello all, thinking of getting the above bike, wondering if anyone has any information about it? Was thinking of getting the EC-130E sram aero bike, but never ridden a aero bike before, not sure how comfortable one wold be?

Depends how supple you are, good bike and well regarded for faster riders wanting a cheaper ride. Assuming it's one of these.

Confusingly the OP has titled his post with the Evo Pro Carbon you link to but then his query morphs into a question about the EC130 Aero from PX

The geo chart for the Evo Pro Carbon is a bit confusing as they give the same numbers for the L and XL frames and they also appear to include spacers in the Stack figure and a 100mm stem in the Reach figure.

Not surprisingly if you unscramble all of that you will see that the Evo frame has a higher Stack and Shorter reach the the EC 130.

As stated if you're flexible enough then the EC130 would likely be the better option but I'm afraid only you can decide that. Unless, of course, anyone has ridden both and can comment.
Unfortunately they closed their Sheffield store not long ago so you're stuck if you want to sit on a couple of different models.

Thanks for the replies, yes, it morphed into a question about the EC-130, it was an after thought!
I'm not that supple to be honest, heard some people say the postion for the areo can be hard on the body. Think the EC looks better than the EVO but just not sure about the comfort over longer rides.

At the prices that PX have it for at the moment - that's a no brainer. If I needed a new bike - I'd have clicked already.
