The EC-130E has just smashed a £2500 aero road bike test in the summer edition of Cycling Active. With a full SRAM Force groupset, fast aero frame and Vision Metron 81 full-carbon wheels it simply left the rest of the bikes from Specialized, BMC and Scott in its wake. Grabbing 10/10 for value and specification and stealing the Best On Test award, what more could you possibly want?
The EC-130-E is built to perform. With class-leading aerodynamics, an incredibly stiff pedalling platform and efficient power transfer, it has been designed from the ground up to help dramatically improve your cycling performance and carry you over the line first.
Frame: The EC-130-E frameset was created to slice through the air and extract every last watt of leg power. Advanced computer modelling of frame tube profiles and fluid dynamics has delivered a frameset that not only has a remarkable low drag profile but is also surprisingly light for an aero road bike.
Each EC-130E is created with our 'EPS Inside' moulding technology. Main tube frame junctions are laid up over pre-shaped EPS formers. This allows for a more accurate placement of carbon in the mould and helps to eliminate wrinkles inside of the frame to deliver stronger, lighter frames with absolute consistency from frame to frame.
Meticulously crafted from Toray's finest T800 IM the EC-130-E is the product of rigorous design and inspirational thinking. After one short ride you'll know the EC-130-E has to be your next Fast Aero Road bike.
Groupset: SRAM Force 11-speed, provides lightening quick gear shifts the moment the impulse takes you. Gear changes are crisp with SRAM Force - and a pure pleasure. SRAM's Yaw-equipped front mech provides flawless shifting between rings without ever needing to be trimmed. Its well known that SRAM groupsets weigh significantly less than the competition, and with carbon levers, crank arms and rear derailleur cage, Force 11 is no exception.
Wheelset: FSA Vision team 35 CompSemi Aero The latest semi aero wheels from Vision push performance to the limit with a 35mm deep rim profile, bladed aero spokes from Sapim and meticulously constructed, 11-speed cartridge bearing hubs. Their good looks are every bit as striking and their wind cheating performance thanks to their deep anodised rim treatment, radially laced front wheel and straight pull laced rear hub.
Finishing kit: We've revisited our tried-and-tested Italian theme for the finishing kit - San Marco provide the racing perch and Italian accessory masters Selcof deliver the oversized bar and stem. We've kitted the wheels out with a top-notch set of race tyres, lightweight slicks, with bags of grip that'll give you the extra confidence you'll need to push harder and brake later into every corner.
The EC-130-E is for the serious competitor in all of us. It skilfully blends the performance advantage of an elegantly designed aero frameset with the lightweight advantage that only hand-finished carbon construction can deliver. It's our ultimate fast aero road bike.

Great looking bike, when I saw it was on offer I couldn't resist. I certainly wasn't disappointed, just a few adjustments and it was good to go out of the box. I was expecting a pretty uncomfortable ride, but the geometry was spot on, I was able to do 50 plus miles nearly all on the drops. Nice stiff ride with good power transfer. Great groupset, especially the carbon Chainset. Never used sram before, so took a while to get used to as I'm used to shimano, but it provides really smooth, precise changing. All in all a great bike for the money.

I was lucky enough to get this bike at 1300 with Sram force. I actually really liked the bike . However it came with the wrong chainrings which was handled fairly well and a mutual agreement was had, however the bottom bracket had a problem from the first ride . I Was messed about trying to get this changed I had stripped and re-greased and tightened pretty much everything on the bike , I was then requested to take it to a local bike shop which I did but was then told that they no longer wanted that and to return it to them instead , which took 3 weeks and the bike was returned damaged. So sent back again and after waiting 3 weeks and no sign of the bike, I phoned to be told " oh wee didn't know why the bike was in the warehouse we'll order in the parts". To get to this point was over 100 emails back and forth and too many phone calls to count. Each time getting fobbed off and passed from pillar to post . In the end I managed to get a refund this was after being promised I would but again had to phone back 3 further times . I would say if you live nearby the warehouse get this bike as you can deal face to face as it is good for the money I paid . However planet x are the worst company I have ever had to deal with Out of the 17 weeks I owned the bike planet x had it for 7 of those weeks and counting. It is a shame I liked the bike but as planet x are this unprofessional it was not worth the risk, as I essentially lost a summer if riding for a problem that would have taken 1 hr to fix. I even ordered other items from them during this saga which went missing in the post and that was dealt with even worse.I honestly did not think that was possible.

Great bike very fast once vision team 30 wheels taken off and replaced. If you can afford it go for vision metron 40's or 55's the 30's are a solid enough buget 'winter' wheel but they weigh a ton !! Other than that a great bike.

Horrendous experience from start to finish, this is the second bike I have bought from Planet X and most definitely my last. Sales started by building a bike that wasn't fit for purpose, bikes weren't ready when we drove from London to Sheffield to pick them up and everyone pointed the finger at someone else. Long and short of it is that they don't seem to care about their customers and will happily take your money. It's extremely disappointing but in the future I will be using Ribble, Canyon or another competitor. Just to add extra salt in the wound when officially complained (we were offered compensation at one stage as planet X had screwed up so badly) the response was unsatisfactory. Very disappointing service overall.

pleasantly surprised with the bike, bought it as a decent commuter, pretty light, decent quality, pretty fast! Big chain rings and a small cassette so check out the gearing if you want to do serious hills.
