Tifosi CK7C Audax review

Cycling Weekly Verdict

Will the Tifosi CK7C work for Audax and touring duties? It is certainly capable, although the serious mile-eater might want a higher-end groupset than the Sora fitted here. But as a winter trainer, this machine is very nearly there. Tyre choice is pretty personal, so the only real bugbear is the levers. The frameset and wheels — the heart of any bike build — are quality gear and the rest is adequate. Meanwhile, the price is very good and the current economic climate may see us lowering our sights when seeking out that new mount. With the Tifosi CK7C Audax, you get a decent bike for around £700. What’s more, it looks mighty fine. There are only so many times you can walk past a handsome bike in the hallway before taking it out for a spin.
