Bottom line
This seems to be a bike that impresses everyone who rides it. It isn't expensive in the grand scheme of road bike prices, but it could be expensive to a beginner cyclist. For the high-end componentry included as standard, experts found it to be good value. Reports are positive from riders who put high miles on the Superstar. If you can afford a high quality road bike that’s suitable for endurance rides, but aren’t interested in some kind of $7000 featherweight machine, the Superstar may suit you.Expert Reviews
