Test: The Storck presents itself as a snappy all-rounder Fascenario 3 Comp Disc Ultegra with the so-called aerodynamic Advanced Sectional Aerodynamic Shaping Design. In addition to the aerodynamic tube shapes, an aerodynamically optimized fork is also used. Thanks to balanced performance, first-class riding characteristics and an impressive price-performance ratio, the Strock Fascenario.3 Comp Disc Ultegra is an attractive companion on any excursion.
Since the 2019 season, the Hessian manufacturer has offered direct shipping in addition to an extensive dealer network, thus also adjusting its pricing policy. Even the price of our test bike, the Strock Fascenario 3 Comp Disc Ultegra, is quite impressive, with just 2.999 Euro for a high-quality carbon frame including attractive equipment with DT Swiss carbon rims, mechanical Shimano Ultegra groupset and carbon cockpit leaves little to be desired.
Strock Fascenario 3 Comp Disc Ultegra – The frame
The matt black and smooth-surfaced frame of the Strock Fascenario 3 Comp makes a high-quality first impression with many curves and few edges. The clean look of the frame is continued by the in-house carbon cockpit, the elegantly fitted fork and the integrated seat clamp, called the "Flat Section Impact" solution. The Fascenario 3 Comp relies on a rather sporty, stretched seating position, which is not uncomfortable and can be sufficiently alleviated by spacers. When looking at the technical data for the medium sizes, however, we noticed that the aspect ratio increases significantly less than the camber. The fork, which appears very bulbous and offers a large throughput, takes some getting used to. However, this should offer particularly aerodynamic advantages.
The cockpit also fits into the overall concept for aerodynamic benefits. Unfortunately, you are of course somewhat limited here from an ergonomic point of view and when it comes to individual adaptability. Nevertheless, a nice and clean option, especially on a bike in this price range.
Strock Fascenario 3- The Disc Ultegra equipment
As the name already tells us, our test bike is equipped with a completely mechanical Shimano Ultegra group. In addition, high-quality DT Swiss PR1600 carbon wheels are used, which convince with a good combination of aerodynamics, rolling characteristics and weight. No savings were made on the Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires either and one of the first-class all-rounders was installed.

Strock Fascenario 3 Comp Disc Ultegra review
The Strock Fascenario 3 Comp is a racing bike that recognized the trend towards aerodynamic bikes with classic and balanced riding performance very early on. With its advanced sectional aerodynamic shaping design, the bike not only has a high-quality look, but also becomes a brisk companion on fast sections, which can also benefit from the good rigidity and thus power transmission and thus ensures direct propulsion. Especially in the bottom bracket area, you also benefit from this when pedaling out of the saddle and get solid acceleration. However, the Storck is not one of the kickstarters. In addition to the good running smoothness, the Strock Fascenario 3 Comp is by no means sluggish, but also convinces on technical passages with direct and precise handling and high agility. Coupled with the quite sporty geometry, you get a balanced and slightly stretched seating position, which should be an advantage for the majority of sporty drivers and beginners.
Even if the Strock Fascenario 3 Comp more or less does without lowered seat stays at the rear and feels rather hard at the front due to the stiff cockpit, the seat post flexes very well and offers a welcome comfort, especially in the seating area with the Selle Sanmaro saddle. This not only supports us on longer rides, but also on more turbulent sections.
The Strock Fascenario 3 Comp also knows how to impress uphill and can be moved surprisingly easily over various meters of altitude, so that the total weight of 7,8 kilos is hardly noticed negatively. Until maybe the time!
