Review – It's a stiff and as fast as it looks, and a ton of fun. cycling
The Tifosi Auriga Disc Chorus 12x Hydro is a fast-feeling aero bike, with a smooth looking frameset adorned with Camapgnolo's smooth-shifting Chorus groupset. The wheels are a little on the entry-level side though, and add a bit of weight.
It means the ride is on the firm side compared to some endurance style bikes, but Tifosi has kept it on the comfortable side of harsh. With an all-up weight of 8.74kg on our scales, the Auriga still feels responsive. It's not fast off the mark as something a couple of kilos lighter, inevitably, but stopping and starting when travelling through town doesn't become a chore.
This third generation of the Auriga comes with an ACR stem from FSA, which takes the cables and hoses from the handlebar and funnels them directly into the head tube. This means that the frame and fork have no entrance holes to speak of, which makes them look very smooth and clean. The routing is smooth too, as the shifting still feels great at the lever.
The medium we have offers a 565mm top tube, a 520mm seat tube and a 130mm head tube; slightly shorter than you'd expect, because the lowest headset spacer is recessed flush with the top of the top tube. I'm a big fan of the ergonomics of Campagnolo's brake lever. I find my hand rests naturally in the curve, allowing me to sit comfortably while always being ready to brake. The hoods are also a great shape for comfort, with these hydraulic offerings not being that much larger than the mechanical versions.
