Made to order in Enigma’s factory in East Sussex, United Kingdom, this Columbus XCR stainless steel endurance frame offers a ride that’s distinctly metal, yet unique.
You can feel the underlying spring of steel, but the ride is crisper and more complex; there are notes of aluminum’s stiffness and bite and a slight hint of titanium’s warmth. It’s this alchemy that makes the Extensor’s ride extraordinary. $3,600 (frameset), 17.0 lb., as tested (custom size).
