Endurance AL e – Enthusiast, Shimano 105

In a road context, the speed rating is about holding pace with less effort once you're up to speed. In real riding, it's neither sluggish nor razor-fast - more of a versatile middle ground. The biggest contributors are a heavier build, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Climb score: 1.4/10. Within e-road bikes, it ranks near the bottom. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. The easiest gear works out to about 83.5 gear inches. This sits at the tough end — easier than only about ~1% of similar bikes. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. At roughly 13.0 kg, the bike’s heft shows up most on sustained climbs. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

For an endurance build, at 6.0/10 for aerodynamics, it’s an all-round aero level so it feels ‘quick enough’ without being a pure aero build. What that means on the road is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. A lower, longer stance usually helps you ride more efficiently in the wind once speed picks up. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. This is mainly because there's about 96 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 559 mm of forward stretch to the bar (long). You'll likely be near 38 degrees of lean.

That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical. Plus, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier.

Ride comfort is 5.0/10 — on a real ride it feels balanced. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~38°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 25% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 86% of listings. Quick reference: €2.995 listed versus about €4.013 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This setup is made for real-world roads with cracks and patches. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
