Endurance SL e – Enthusiast, Shimano 105 Di2

When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. In real riding, it tends to feel lively when you accelerate or surge. The score is largely shaped by 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: 2.0/10. Within e-road bikes, it ranks below average. For hill work, the easiest gear is very tall. That lowest gear comes out around 76.5 gear inches. This sits at the tough end — easier than only about ~1% of similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Weight is around 11.9 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

On the endurance side of things, rated 6.0/10 for aero, it keeps decent wind efficiency without becoming a specialist so it won’t hold you back on normal fast riding. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The endurance tag is a useful clue for how wind efficiency ranks among the priorities. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Because bars are around 103 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 561 mm (long). Expect a lean angle around 40 degrees. Endurance bikes often keep the front end a bit higher for longer rides.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical. Also, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Overall, it falls into Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 5.0/10, which usually translates to a fairly neutral ride. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. The posture is race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~40°), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

Overall, this feels reasonably priced. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 44% of listings). To anchor it: price €5.617 versus an estimated €5.381 for a similar build. Bottom line: it’s a normal deal — not amazing, not terrible.

This bike is road-focused, but it’s more forgiving on bumpy pavement. The tire size is unknown in this entry, so the surface range is based on the clearest available signals. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
