795 Blade Interference Red Mat Glossy

For road riding, the score leans toward outright pace rather than comfort-first priorities. When you push the pace, it sits toward the faster end for comparable bikes. It trends this way because of narrow road tires that keep resistance low, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Climbing rating: 1.8/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks near the bottom. On climbs, the lowest gear feels tall. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 32.4 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~18% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Category-wise (aero), that 8.8/10 aero rating suggests that with tidier routing up front, it’s at the sharp end of aero priorities where aerodynamics is the main lever. The short version is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. Tyres around 25mm fit a faster road setup and usually keep drag in check. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. On fast flats and windy days, it’s built to feel like it wastes less energy pushing air.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. You get this posture because bar height comes out ~111 mm below the saddle (large), with about 565 mm of forward reach - a long stretch. Estimated lean is about 41 degrees. Estimated spacers: ~11 mm.

In Road / Aero, Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts. Plus, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. Net result: Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 2.1/10, which usually translates to a very firm ride. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 25 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 race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~41°), which puts more weight forward, so you notice more feedback through the hands and saddle.

This feels like you’re paying extra for the same kind of bike. 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 32% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 44% of listings). Quick reference: €7.655 listed versus about €5.811 for a comparable build. Bottom line: you may be paying extra versus similar options.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. Tires around 25 mm usually mean it’s tuned for smooth-road speed. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
