Winspace has made the T1600 Extremely official on the Eurobike 2026, and it arrives with a brand new raised handlebar, the HYPER 2 Riser. I obtained an early have a look at the Extremely on the China Cycle 2026 whereas I used to be on tour, so I’ve had a little bit of time to sit down with it. Right here’s what’s new, and what isn’t.
However wait, there’s yet one more factor! Winspace additionally launched G5 Gravel. I didn’t see this one coming. Let’s try what’s new.
Winspace T1600 vs. T1600 Extremely
Begin with what isn’t, as a result of it’s a lot of the bike. The Extremely runs the identical body and geometry because the common T1600. In the event you’ve ridden one, not one of the core stuff has modified, and that’s reasonably the purpose. Winspace reworked the perimeters as an alternative of beginning over.
The large change is the fork. It’s wider and deeper now, and the steering is now not restricted, so the bar swings all the best way round with out the stops you get on some built-in entrance ends. Functionally, nice. Visually, I’m much less offered. That fork is broad sufficient that it doesn’t fairly sit proper with the remainder of the body to my eye, and it was the very first thing I clocked on the present flooring. You may see it in another way, it’s solely shapes and paint, nevertheless it’s the half I preserve coming again to.
The remainder is beauty and element degree: a brand new brand, new colours, and the HYPER 2.0 Riser handlebar bundled in. Take the T1600 you realize, give it a chunkier fork, recent branding, and the brand new cockpit, and also you’re wanting on the Extremely.
I couldn’t journey the T1600 Extremely on the day of the photoshoot due to the totally different cleat system. However I did my finest to do no less than a number of pedal strokes.
The HYPER 2 Riser Handlebar
The handlebar is the opposite headline, and it’s Winspace catching as much as a development. Raised, or rise, bars have been all over the place recently, with the tops sitting increased relative to the stem clamp. The HYPER 2 Riser does precisely that.
The unique HYPER was a flat, one-piece aero bar fabricated from T800 and T1000 carbon, and Winspace claimed 3.7 watts of financial savings over the Zero SL at 48 km/h. The two Riser retains the built-in, absolutely inner routing however provides the rise, which largely helps you dial in a cushty place with out a tower of spacers beneath the stem.
What the Extremely Is Constructed On
If the T1600 is new to you, it’s Winspace’s aero body. Weighing round 1090 grams for the painted L-size body, a T47 threaded backside bracket, that slender jet-nosecone head tube, and a claimed 5.5 watts saved at 48 km/h over 100 km versus the older T1550 Gen2. The Extremely carries all of it over.
That’s actually the story. The T1600 Extremely is identical fast bike with a bolder fork, a brand new look, and a raised cockpit, not a clean-sheet redesign. Whether or not the fork works for you comes all the way down to style.
The G5 Gravel
Winspace additionally launched the G5 Gravel, the subsequent step for its gravel vary. Winspace pitches it as a extra aero, race-focused body that builds on the present G3 whereas protecting the identical all-terrain remit, so assume sooner and racier reasonably than a clean-sheet redesign.
One small however telling element: Winspace jumped straight from G3 to G5. That tracks with the best way it skipped the SLC4 earlier, since 4 is taken into account unfortunate in Chinese language tradition. One other notable design characteristic is the D-shaped seatstays borrowed from the T1600.
Within the lineup, the G5 exhibits up as a frameset, a bundle, and full G5 Extremely Di2 and G5 Professional Di2 builds. Full weights and clearances aren’t revealed but, so I’ll maintain off on these till Winspace places numbers to them.
Pricing
Now the numbers, which Winspace normally makes you hunt for.
The G5 Gravel frameset is $2,200. The G3 it builds on is $1,480, so the G5 prices $720 extra, a bit beneath 50% on prime. That buys a extra aero, race-leaning gravel body reasonably than a wholesale rethink, since Winspace itself describes the G5 as constructing on the G3 platform. Whether or not the aero good points are value it is dependent upon your priorities.
The T1600 Extremely is the steeper ask. As an entire bike with Ultegra Di2 it’s $5,999, towards $5,299 listing for the usual T1600 in the identical Ultegra Di2 trim. That’s $700 for the broader fork, the brand new cockpit, and the cosmetics. The HYPER 2.0 by itself is $499, so $100 greater than the primary technology.
One factor value timing. Winspace has a price-adjustment discover up, with costs throughout the vary rising by about 5% as of July 1. Orders positioned earlier than then preserve present pricing, so whichever of those you’re eyeing, ordering earlier than the primary is the good transfer. Additionally, keep in mind you may mix their reductions with my low cost code CYCLISTSHUB10 for five% off.
