REACTO TEAM

When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. Against lighter, narrower-tire builds, this build is shaped by 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 high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load.

Uphill performance score: 5.7/10. Within Road bikes, it sits around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels tall. The easiest gear works out to about 32.4 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~18% for low-gear climbing. “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. Weight is around 7.6 kg, so it won’t feel overly stubborn on long climbs. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. 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.

In aero terms, at 10.0/10, on a 28mm tyre setup, it’s designed around going fast in exposed conditions so the faster you ride, the more it shows. In everyday language, it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. The aero tag is a useful clue for how wind efficiency ranks among the priorities. This setup supports a more race-leaning posture, helping you present less of your body to the wind. With rims around 60mm deep, the wheels clearly lean toward an aero setup. That rim depth is a classic aero-leaning choice for faster riding. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. 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. Because the cockpit sits 99 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~577 mm (long). Estimated lean is about 38 degrees. Aero-focused bikes often favor a lower, more tucked posture.

Fit flexibility summary: A one-piece cockpit locks the front-end setup more than separate bar and stem parts, A headset-integrated routing system reduces practical flexibility for cockpit changes. Plus, Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. Net result: Race-Fit Specific. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 3.0/10 — on a real ride it feels quite direct. So it’s tagged Firm overall. 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 race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~38°), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

This sits around the normal range for similar bikes. 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. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 64% of listings). Quick reference: €10.611 listed versus about €10.054 for a comparable build. Bottom line: it’s a normal deal — not amazing, not terrible.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. Tires around 28 mm usually mean it’s tuned for smooth-road speed. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
