Planet X EC-130 Shimano Ultegra Di2

For road bikes, this score reflects how easily the bike carries speed on smooth tarmac. This means it's biased toward performance over comfort-focused choices. A few practical factors stand out: 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.

If your rides include hills, it rates 2.8/10 for climbing. Within Road bikes, it lands below average. The low gear is workable, but not super easy on steep ramps. That lowest gear comes out around 28.6 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~47% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. 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.

For an aero build, an aero score of 9.2/10 means that with more integrated details, it’s a speed-first, wind-focused setup so the faster you ride, the more it shows. What that means on the road is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. 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. This is mainly because you get a large drop: roughly 101 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 557 mm of stretch forward (long). You'll likely be near 39 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~10 mm.

In Road, Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward. At the same time, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Net result: Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 2.2/10, which usually translates to a harsh on rough surfaces 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 neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~39°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

Nothing screams bargain or rip-off here. 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 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 60% of listings). To anchor it: price €4.868 versus an estimated €4.819 for a similar build. Overall, it sits in the expected range for the category.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. Tires around 25 mm usually mean it’s tuned for smooth-road speed. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
