StorckAero3
Storck's 'Zeitjäger' (time hunter) triathlon bike pairs a carbon frame with an integrated bar/stem unit, a drinking system and storage boxes. Storck describes quick, road-bike-like steering from a head angle of about 73° and short chainstays, and offers it direct as a configurable SRAM Red or Shimano Di2 build or as a frameset, in five sizes.

Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 7 categories
A direct-sales tri bike that bundles hydration, storage and an integrated cockpit at a modest price, with lively, road-like handling. Storck publishes no aero data or pad stack and reach figures, the bottom bracket is press-fit BB30, and the base build uses an older SRAM Red generation.

How the geometry rides
The Aero3 in size M against the middle size of 53 other bikes: tendencies from geometry, not a ride review (how to read this).

Short chainstays: a compact, responsive rear end.
Good to know
Design
Storck says the steep head angle of around 73° makes the steering lively and that the short chainstays help on climbs.
