Superlight frames usually make a deal with you: feel amazing on the climbs, give it all back on the flat. The Spear's pitch is that it refuses the deal — 685 grams RDC, but with wind-tunnel numbers that beat SEKA's own aero bike of two years ago.
The ride
It climbs exactly like the scale says it should. The surprise is the descent: the front end is calm at 80 km/h in a way twitchy climbing bikes never are, and the Wind Eye seatpost flex reads as grip, not wallow, on broken pavement.
The numbers, on the road
We can't measure six watts by feel, and neither can you. What we can verify: in a fast group, the Spear sits in and surges like an aero bike, and our power files from repeated test loops trend the right way. The claim is plausible; the sensation is real.
Verdict — 4.7/5
Half a star held back for the paint's stone-chip resistance and a front-derailleur mount that wants patience during the build. Otherwise: our reference road frameset this season. The frameset reviewed here is the Spear RDC Frameset.
