Looking at the Mekk 2G Poggio P20, you'd be forgiven for thinking the carbon-frame road bike was worth more than it’s £999 price tag; that’s because it’s a £1200 bike in the clothing of a sub £1000, cycle to work, entry level road racing machine.
The Mekk 2G Poggio P20 carbon road bike comes built with a mixture of Shimano Tiagra and 105 group set components, and a compact 50/34 t chain set. The Poggio has an external bottom bracket for stiffness and Ritchley Comp finishing kit (Seatpost, bars and stem). Both the frame and forks are a full carbon construction – no composite or aluminium here, breading a lightweight curb weight of 1.125kg.
Smooth, flowing lines combined with attention to detail characterise the overall design brief of this high-modulus carbon frame. Important features include an internal cable guide for the rear brake, and substantial, metal capped carbon dropouts that hang onto the wheel with a muscular grip.
The Mekk 2G Poggio P20 is a great bike for its original £1199 price tag, but our price for the Poggio of just £999 makes it a great buy for anyone looking for their first carbon road bike or for a quick way of getting into work on time. As you progress as a cyclist, so will the 2G Poggio P20. This highly upgradable bike warrants a new wheelset and brakes as you get fitter and faster and it will see you through races, sportive’s, the daily commute or your weekend rides for many years.
