AGREE C:62, SLX

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. The main reasons are a light setup, a lighter-feeling mass profile that helps on accelerations and tempo climbs, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Climb score: 6.7/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out above average. On longer climbs, the gearing lands on the tall side. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 29.5 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~37% for low-gear climbing. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. At roughly 7.5 kg, it’s on the lighter side, which helps when the climb drags on. It won’t be the absolute best climber, but it won’t hold you back on most climbs either. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

In aero terms, with tidier routing up front, sitting at 9.1/10 for aero, it’s at the sharp end of aero priorities so the faster you ride, the more it shows. Put simply, it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. A more integrated front end usually reduces minor drag points around the cockpit. On fast flats and windy days, it’s built to feel like it wastes less energy pushing air.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. This is mainly because there's about 95 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 570 mm of forward stretch to the bar (long). Expect a lean angle around 38 degrees.

Net result: Moderately Adjustable. What drives the fit flexibility here: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical. Another point: Routing through the headset can make cockpit swaps harder than normal internal routing. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 3.1/10, which usually translates to a firm ride. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. It’s running about 28 mm tires on 700c wheels, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~38°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 34% 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 95% of listings. Quick reference: €4.199 listed versus about €6.384 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. The tire size is unknown in this entry, so the surface range is based on the clearest available signals. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
