Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 7 categories
A well-equipped dealer bike for the money: both builds have a power meter, a one-piece Vision cockpit and 45-50 mm carbon wheels, and the Prestige brings Dura-Ace Di2 for well under the Exonic's price. It's the same 2022 frame design with no published aero or frame-weight figures, five sizes and one colour per build.
