I’ve ordered the latest one and was wondering what they’re like to live with as an everyday training tool.

You’re in a very lucky position I’d say!

I’ve ridden a 2012 and a 2013 Oltre/XR and can say they’re possibly the only road bike of any value that’s made me think “I really would like one of these myself if I could afford it!”

To be fair I rode the Xr on a half hr test ride and if I’m honest I’ve fell in love with the look. It felt tight and fast but no more than the tcr I currently ride. Unfortunately they didn’t have the xr in the colour I wanted so I’m having to wait on the xr2.
