Garda Hybrid SHIMANO 105 Di2 R7170 2X12S + MAHLE X35 E-BIKE SYSTEM KIT

It's one of the more speed-focused builds in its group. On paved roads, the rating is mostly about fast cruising and how the setup supports higher speeds. The main reasons are all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

How it climbs: 3.3/10. Within e-road bikes, it ranks below average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. The easiest gear works out to about 27.0 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~54% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer hills. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Looking at it as an endurance setup, with a 5.9/10 aero score, it’s a practical middle ground so it works well across lots of riding. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Its endurance label helps explain the balance between speed, comfort, and versatility. Tyres around 28mm fit a faster road setup and usually keep drag in check. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Because the bar sits about 86 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 552 mm in total (long). You'll likely be near 37 degrees of lean.

Net result: Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts. Plus, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 4.1/10 for comfort, so it feels quite direct out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. It’s running about 28 mm tires on 700c wheels, and narrow tires usually mean higher pressure, so more buzz comes through on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~37°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

The price looks hard to justify versus similar options. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 30% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 12% of them. To anchor it: price €6.406 versus an estimated €4.928 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. The tire size is around 28 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. It’s listed as Endurance, but the setup aligns better with Road Only.
