Fast, corrugated descents transmit plenty of road buzz and road irregularities to the rider and, upfront, the aero blade fork, alloy handlebar and thin bartape present a rather rattly ride on severe surfaces. Rough roads, meanwhile, reveal a minute amount of frame compliance that’s negated by the Scalera’s stiff, 23c rubber-shod Mavic Cosmic Elite rims.

Smoother roads are greeted with positive feedback, and an immediate feel for how your power is or isn’t being transmitted into forward motion – something that’s crucial in a fast group sprint. Throwing the bike side to side in a sprint or committing into corners brings to your attention a perfectly stiff frame that gives no hint of flex – not exactly a revelation given that enormous down tube and 386EVO bottom bracket. It behaves normally and in a controlled manner in high crosswinds too.

It’s hard to say just how much difference the aero profiles make without a wind tunnel, but at higher speeds the bike rolls with consummate ease.
