Venturi STC Force Etap D2 Trimax Bike Special Edition

It's designed for a mix of riding rather than top-end pace. For road bikes, the speed score favors setups that waste less energy at higher speeds. Most of the story comes from 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.

Overall on climbs: 2.7/10. Within Road bikes, it sits below average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. That lowest gear comes out around 28.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~43% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

On the aero side of things, aero-wise, at 9.0/10, with tidier routing up front, it’s a speed-first, wind-focused setup especially on fast flats and windy days. Put simply, it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. The wheels are on the shallower side (around 30mm), so frame shapes and position likely matter more than wheel depth here. That wheel depth is more all-round than purely aero-focused. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. A more integrated front end usually reduces minor drag points around the cockpit. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. The faster you ride, the more this aero focus tends to show up in how it holds speed.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward. Plus, Routing through the headset can make cockpit swaps harder than normal internal routing. That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Comfort comes out to 3.1/10, which usually translates to a quite direct ride. So it’s tagged Firm overall. It’s running about 28 mm tires, 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), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

Overall, this looks like solid value for the build. 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). Based on the spec estimate, it comes in about 7% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 76% of listings. Quick reference: €4.777 listed versus about €5.146 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s competitively priced for what you get.

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.
